Top 3 Pens of Michael Jecks (Writerlywitterings)

[@marilyngardner4269]

This was such a joy to watch. The storytelling was so artful that I hardly noticed that Micheal snuck in at least nine pens to get to his final three. And I can relate to the fact that one of the final three no longer writes. That type of sentimentality makes sense to me.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Glad you liked the video!

[@JoelTurrell]

I love this series of videos, and I hope that Appelboom Pennen can keep it going for a long long time. And I find it very revealing thta when the pen pundits have to limit themselves to only 3 faves, they suddenly get emotional and connect with certain life events in their ratings.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you! We hope to have some more candidates for the series

[@stampinsan]

Always enjoy Michael’s take on pens. Thanks Appelboom!

[@quaxenleaf]

I love the British dry wit on display when he states his favorite pen is one he can’t use.

[@davidsilva8695]

Delightful!

[@BooksForever]

This was fantastically enjoyable. My admiration for Michael Jecks has escalated further. A masterful "self interview"!

[@hriveran]

I loved how you got away with talking about more than three pens. I look forward to read your novels.

[@anthonyvieni4894]

These are very fast becoming my favorite series of videos both for the pen enthusiast in me with all the beautiful instruments and the poignant and sometimes funny stories that accompany them.....

[@AppelboomPennen]

Hopefully we can entertain you with some more videos in the upcoming weeks

[@EastLancashireJohn]

Great to hear the views of a professional writer. Thank you Michael 👍🏾

[@AppelboomPennen]

Who else know better!

[@billmckee3230]

What a superb audio track on this video. Excellent clarity, presence and total lack of background - hiss, rumble etc. Very well done!

[@r.mercado9737]

Simply a lovely commentary! Thank you.

Good to see you on other channels, Mike! Lovely video. Thank you, Appelboom Pennen!

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you!

[@gristlevonraben]

great video, wonderful stories

[@pasttenseSara]

I 'get' him!!!! Emotion vs practicality. Which ones would one never part with? Perfect criteria! Love the video!

[@AppelboomPennen]

Perfect!

[@Ramdas_Devadiga]

A goldmine of a video. Thank you.

[@archivist17]

Hi Mike! I had the same early experience with fountain pens that you did, so stayed away for too long. I do like your videos, so I shall have to subscribe to you. Joost, you are expanding the number of KZbin subscriptions I have every week!

[@AppelboomPennen]

Sorry not sorry!

[@williamcrane1]

Hmm what are my three? I would say my Pilot 823, my Parker Duofold Centennial, and my Pelikan 805 Blue Dunes. Thanks for your review. Tomorrow I shall be making shortbread and sourbread. And continuing my read of the Merchant’s Partner.

Wonderful video! Thanks Appelboom and Michael for posting this video.

Thank you!

@@AppelboomPennen Joost, you are most welcome.

[@KB-cx2dr]

Interesting to hear about Conway. Not very much reviewed here on KZbin.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Indeed not a lot of content about Conway

[@Richard_Barnes]

Been waiting for this one 😉 Thanks Mike, I was only close with my guesses for your pens. I thought the Crystal Dream but understand your choice. The all lava will beat anything. 👍🏻

[@AppelboomPennen]

Glad you liked the video

[@TheDanielbarboza]

A storyteller, indeed!

[@AppelboomPennen]

A great storyteller!

[@flipper2gv]

My man needs a Conid if capacity is something he's looking for.

[@pasttenseSara]

Conid Bulkfiller would make my Top 3

[@tonyr.5111]

@@pasttenseSara 👏👏👏 great pen! However, I'm still very much in love with my grandfather's PARKER 51... still ✍️writes beautifully.

[@Crosswalker.]

😂 The first minute the automatic Google translator is activated and it translates your name in the most funny ways (in German), last one was "four trousers" and this one was "show Obama" 😂😂😂 Epic...

[@humanfirst11]

Which model of Cross was it???

[@anguswhite8233]

. . . like your Indiana Jones!: know exactly what you mean about ‘lever fillers’ - my all time favourite pen, which I could never get rid of, is my beloved vintage Esterbrook model J w master’s series 9550 EF nib inked w Pelikan königsblau: penfection!:)

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts

[@christopherdecock4256]

The Indiana Jones is just wonderful! It is so lovely that after I ordered mine, my office mate ordered one and a family friend did as well. That is 3% of the total make in a town of 120,000!

[@greekveteran2715]

Holy s.. I checked the Visconti and it costs 800$ Wow! I don't know if I'll ever be able to get a pen that costs more than 20, but I wish at least once in my life, make a rich friend, to be able to write a sentence with a good pen. If he let's me touch his own of course..

[@AppelboomPennen]

It is not about the monetary value of the writing instrument, but about the story behind it✨

[@neilpiper9889]

I love my Conway Stewart 84 with a gold fine stub flexi nib. Its a celluloid green and black cracked ice finish. I use it with Seitz Kreuznach Palm green ink. It's my favourite pen. I didn't know Conway Stewart were still going. My two other favourites are a Pilot Kakuno with the Con 70 push converter and a B calligraphy nib swapped from a Pilot Pluminix. I put a clip from an Iraurita pocket pen. Big ink capacity Third is a Jinhao X750 Shimmering sands with a Jowo 1.1 stub nib. The nib came from John Sorowka here in the UK. I use it with Pilot Blue Black ink

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you for sharing your favorite!

[@kellieashman6908]

Any reason you don’t use your Cross?

[@michellestephenson1680]

There was a leak at the section near the nib. Cross didn’t repair it, just sent him the new version.

[@SteveAtkinsonFineArt]

@@michellestephenson1680 I could be wrong, but I think his question was referring to the replacement Cross, though he didn't specify.

[@0987977]

It was "interesting" sir

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you!
