My 2025 fountain pen Wishlist!

[@jacquelinestauffer5796]

I loved your wishlist, and we have some interests in common. I also would like the Prussian Blue Pilot Custom Urushi and the Visconti Medici Palazzo Pitti in 2025 - for the very same reasons you mentioned. I'm a maybe on the Estie King of Night because I love the pictures of the dramatic color-way but worry that I'll end up with a "tamer" version than what I'm seeing online, but I could see myself purchasing for the right price. I purchased the Pelikan M1000 Renaissance as one of my wishlist fountain pens in 2024, and it is a stunning pen in every way. I'm wishing us both good luck with our Pilot and Visconti wishes, and I hope you have a fantastic day. Jingle all the way!🎄

[@SwayvillDelgarian]

I love your taste for fountain pens 😂 The Pilot Custom Urushi has one of the best nibs in my collection, maybe the best. The regular M1000 (not the Renaissance Brown of course) can be had for a reasonable price.

I hope your 2025 dreams come true! I'm glad you're feeling better and back to making content. Also, thank you very much for shifting the mic to your lapel, I usually listen with headphones and the plosives that happen when you use it handheld has stopped me from finishing a few videos, so it's exciting to be able to listen comfortably to the end!

[@davidottman9501]

That Visconti is stunningly gorgeous, even over the Interweb! Thanks for posting fun content, and giving us things to think about. :) Watch that eye...

My dream pen is actually one that I might be getting for Christmas or my birthday (which is in January): the Sailor Profit w/ a lefty medium 21k gold nib

[@stevem4111]

The Prussian blue colour looks amazing. I love pilot pens also.

[@T.Guy-vd5nz]

11:26 "when you have so many pens it's hard to, like, use them all". I know, I have eleven, keep six inked at a time, and it's hard. But I bought a King of the Night because it speaks to me and I love foreplay. I'm not a collector by any means, I usually buy usable practical things, and it it was expensive and I have enough pens for now, but I may never ink this one up because it's just so and beautiful and cool hanging out with the others.

[@judyjacobs5827]

Wish pens? I recently managed to buy a Myu, which needs some polishing, but wow, what a looker! Also got another E95, and another Narwhal with a clear barrel and sparkly white cap and end cap. Thanks, Joe (The Gentleman Stationer) Crace. Full set of the Levenger True Writer pens in earth, fire, air, and water, which are swirly and come with big, fat nibs. There are others. At a mini penshow a week or two ago I parted with a bunch of pens, notebooks, ink. Came home with some others.

[@cesarchavarria6644]

I suggest vintage flex, Karry. Adorable cat.

[@penguin1780]

I would also love that new Prussian Blue Pilot. I’m not a large pen person, but that one is lovely. I would like a True Blue Parker Duofold Centennial and a Pelikan Stresemann, but am unsure what size I would pick. I would also like a Waterman’s BCHR lady’s pen with a silver filigree overlay.

[@sruckel]

I have 2 Visconti pens with steel nibs and they write better than many of my gold nibs in other brands. They were great right out of the box.

[@alexandrapirvu7945]

Estie King of the Night is really cool! But i'm thinking more of the Jurassic with Fude nib. Benu Friday could also be on the list. And thinking of Italian pens - Scribo, Santini, old Omas - but piston fillers are so hard to empty...

[@roshniarif7035]

your collection is awsome! i would love to have a Benu Viper

[@Tbear5777]

I am new to fountain pens, six months in. I will be saving for a LAMY 2000 . I just love how this pen looks! It will be my very first gold nib pen.

[@gratiaification]

Thanks!

[@PensandTea]

Thank you so much!

[@carolyncoppola974]

I love to watch historical fantasy Chinese dramas and there is ALWAYS a dragon, so of course I will have to check BENU out! Also, I am planning/praying/preparing to acquire the Pilot Prussian Blue Custom Urushi for my 60th birthday next January! So, 2025 will be pretty restricted for pen purchases. Besides I need to concentrate on paper and inks. Great list! I can’t wait to see which ones you acquire! Thanks for sharing!

[@gvnady8380]

This year I got my Sailor King of Pen Ebonite m nib. Thinking of getting Namiki Emperor next year. Both these Japanese brands never disappoints unlike Visconti and Montblanc.

[@Hkhawkins]

I just ordered the Prussian Blue Pilot Custom Urushi and am so excited

[@caleba9648]

my pen wishlist for next year has one pen so far-- an Opus 88 Omar in the pumpkin color way

[@jolienkrispijn]

Thanks for another great list! Hope your eye will keep improving. Cuddles to Parker 😻

[@melclarke64]

It's a good time to make a list ..just before Christmas...maybe you'll get a nice gift

[@Salafrazz]

I got the king of the night and love it soooo much! Paired with dominant industries romania red it's PERFECT

[@arlenealennox3136]

Tip: ci in Italian is pronounced chee, as in Medici. Different from French and usually English.

[@Bazerkly]

Visconti's look good.... but for the price they should write nice.

[@boshkodjordjevich7424]

Visconti is distributed in Canada by LSF Trading in Woodbridge. LSF Trading also acquired the rights to distribute Pelikan in Canada - and he (I can't remember the owner's name) has in-house nib services. If you speak to a retailer they can confirm if your nib can be tuned before it is sold to you. It is a very expensive pen though - and if worse comes to worst, you can always reach out to Salman Khattak who is AMAZING.

[@TumescentPuma]

The Custom Urushi is nice, especially the Prussian Blue. It is just so big and the demand is driving up the price on eBay. I recently bought a Custom 845 Urushi in Black and Gold out of Taiwan on eBay and it is just a wonderful pen and 1/3 of the CU price.

[@mariatriesart8389]

You and I have the same esthetic in fountain pens and ink colours! I so wanted the Platinum 3773 in tortoiseshell celluloid. I love the Euphoria the bourbon was my first and I now have 3. I too switch inks often, so even a kaweco converter size is enough ink for me I change ink so often. I have wanted ghe Pilot custom Urushi in Prussian blue and every pen you listed! AMAZING!

[@nelsondcunha3156]

I like dragons too, that's why my Chinese name has a dragon word as a surname... I would love a fountain pen with a Chinese dragon on it

[@impish22]

great list, thanks for sharing

[@catwhisperer911]

Hi Kerry. I like your list and I'll enjoy your covering them in 2025. As for my list, I just ordered one of the pens on the list and it's a black Sailor Pro Gear with silver hardware and a fine nib. I've been wanting that pen for a while now and due to aggressive holiday sales and a very favorable dollar to yen exchange rate I was able to acquire one at a heavily discounted price. The pen isn't due to arrive until January. Another pen I'd love to get in 2025 is a Benu. Your ravings about Benu pens has inspired me to add it to my list. Yup, this one is going to be your fault lol. The 3d pen on my list is a TWSBI. (** Yes, not one of your favorite pens :( **) but I've never owned one of my own and I think I'd really like to experience one for myself. It will probably be one of their special edition 580s and perhaps even with a stub nib (um and maybe not a stub). So that's it for my list and thank you Kerry for sharing and I'm looking forward to watching you in 2025.

[@March22012]

I’ll never get one but I would love to see a Leonardo Momento Zero Vesuvius.❤

[@s.n.11]

Interesting pens. I liked the Benu one, please make a show off if you get to buy it. I also love dragons. What system do you use to follow you character/campaign sheet for D&D campaigns?

[@March22012]

I love my Esties!

[@rv6847]

The Benu dragons are awesome and on my list, too. I love Esties, but King of Night is too much for me unless I get it at a great price. There's a Sailor Pro Gear called Jellyfish that looks beautiful. I purchased too many pens in 2024, so I'm on a "diet" in 2025. 😢

[@s.scully]

Interesting list. For a sexy brown pen the Benu Talisman in Sandalwood has been on my wishlist for a while. I've never tried a Benu but PenTube seems to think they're pretty good writers across the board?

[@MrG0CE]

MY DREAM FRANKEN PEN INK COMBO IS: - VISCONTI HOMOSAPIENS CRYSTAL DREAM BODY (BEST BODY PEN IN THE WORLD, PERIOD). - FOUNTAIN PEN REVOLUTION 14K GOLD ULTRAFLEX NIB (THE BEST NIB IN THE WORLD, PERIOD). - NOODLER'S BALTIMORE CANYON BLUE (BEST SHEENING WATERPROOF BLUE IN THE WORLD, PERIOD).

[@deewarburton9675]

Have you read Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros an newish trilogy of dragon riders?

[@NikSawyer]

Dream pen- Namiki Chinkin Fountain pen (Cat) $4K

[@mixeddrinks8100]

To me if it is urushi, it has to be black or red... just seems wrong to have it in blue. Red is very typical and traditional

[@cesarchavarria6644]

When is the pen sale starting??? - I want a pen that writes nicely - with some flex - appearance is not important. Thank u keep it up , K!

[@sufiveritas7375]

I know a closing shop with some brand new slim vintage fontain pens. The pens are not expensive there. I will by as many nice pens and mechanical pencils as possible in Dezember. After that my plan is not to buy pens anymore 🎉🎉

[@saraho92]

Though I think the name Dubhánach may come from Scottish Gaelic, in Irish (from which the Scottish varient derives), it would be pronounced a bit like Dove- awh- nok. Bh makes a V sound and the fada (accent) over the a lengthens the vowel sound.

[@kevinlandon7578]

how is your eye? I hope you are receiving treatment to make it better.
