Oh I love seeing your beautiful pens Jane, never get bored of seeing them! That Jane Austen Montblanc is in my sights, even if it is spelt JANE without the y 🤣 I'm sure you found this very difficult to narrow down, I know I would! Take care and have a wonderful day/evening :)
@@jppenandink it was very difficult, I decided it was time to make some hard decisions. Some will probably change, as new pens come in. We will see. The Jayne Austen is beautiful, I finally found the ink. It’ll be here soon. Have a great day!
@@lynnhayes5514 special pen, I’d be such a honor to inherit a beautiful pen like you have! Kirk is excellent at nib grinds, I get a lot from him at pen shows.
@@fountainpensinksmore3290 I am so blessed to have my friend's fabulous collection! Over 40 pens, many with gold nibs. I wouldn't have trusted them to anyone but Kirk, and he really didn't want to modify it, but I just couldn't use it as it was. Haven't stopped writing for 3 days! 😍
@@lynnhayes5514 that’s when the nib needs some adjustment or grind or….. You can think of your friend every time you write! What a lovely gift 💝 Kirk you know he’ll let you know.
I just love your pen collection and your enthusiasm each time you hold them. I can’t put them in order but I would say Montblanc Boheme Montblanc Haus pen (it’s the one you can only buy at the museum/factory in Hamburg) basically a 146 but all black and it has a special nib and engraving on the pen. Montblanc baby Scribo piuma pop art Darailz oparex Sailor pro gear black hole and the pro gear mini (not the slim) Maverick Striation Pilot custom 823 Thanks!!
What's up Jane! Right out the gate Bungubox Sailor Realo Cinderella. Woooo 🥰Not sure why I am grinning at that Mont blanc Jane Austin. 🥰😁 slowly walking to the clearance aisle.🤣And of course the Mont Blanc Naruto. 🥰those are my favs of your top 12. I'm a small maker guy myself. 💜
Nice one ! Love your choices ! :) Though I‘m not so big on the Montblancs, especially the ones with metal grip sections… 🤷♀️ Here‘s my list just off the top of my head: 1. Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Mother of Pearl with a medium 14K nib 2. Scribo La Dotta Campanula with a medium 18K nib 3. Sailor Pro Gear King of Pen Sunlight from the Ocean Floor with a medium 21K nib 4. Pilot Custom 823 Demonstrator with a 14K signature nib 5. Platinum Century 3776 Shape of a Heart Black with a fine 14K nib 6. Visconti Kaleido Voyager Honey Almond with a medium 14K nib 7. Lamy 2000 SE stainless steel with a medium 14K nib 8. Leonardo Furore Grande Purple with an elastic fine 14K nib 9. Pelikan M1000 green black with a fine 18K nib 10. Pilot Capless Seashore LE 2024 with a medium 14K nib 11. Scribo Piuma Glicine with a medium 18K nib 12. Scribo Feel Verde Antico with an elastic medium 14K nib Yes, there‘s a pattern, I love my medium gold nibs… and most of my other gold nibbed pens actually… but since this was to be a list of 12… 😂 I also love most of my steel nibbed pens, but if I had to choose … though I would probably keep some TWSBIs as well… and some Esterbrooks… oh, well… it‘s good I don’t have to make that choice… 😁
Awesome video!! OK here goes…Pelikan M1000(vintage),Stipula prism rainbow,Visconti Kaleido, Platinum Galaxy,Sailor KOP, Pilot Custom Urushi, Parker Duofold (Vintage),Montblanc 149(‘70’s),Montblanc Naruto , Montblanc Franz Kafka,Montblanc Agatha Christie and Scribo Aquarella
Yes...the Fioritura Viola really became just "exclusive" but not limited. I don't remember if they said it was limited, but those releases typically are considered limited. It's about greed sometimes when they decide to re-release popular pens to make more money because they know it will sell out again and again. But then that is sad for the smaller batches of real "limited" releases when some folks would have loved a second and final release, like the Kilk Celestial Selene T_T Wished that one had a second run of 37 or so pens. That limited release is always so small. The Jane Austen pen is so pretty, but the damn price! I'm sure it is well worth the 1200ish price, but it's a true luxury and sadly I have not read her books, so it doesn't have enough personal meaning to me to justify my money for it XD Beautiful top 12 lineup, Jane!
@@KenchanKrafts thank you Lao. I agree about the “LE”, it’s turn off for me. When they’re limited sometimes it’s about the hunt. I was lucky I did get some off the Jane Austin at the SF Pen Show (it was a show special).
@@shutupandcrochet IG is: stationery_studio.sheen_san Etsy: Kong Girls (I love the ink). I didn’t see the glass nib fountain pen on Etsy 😔. Message him on IG, he’s very nice. Hopefully he’ll get more in.

My favorite right now is a 90's Waterman Carene 14k that I inherited. I had Kirk do an Imperial grind this weekend at our Colorado pen show!

The Fioritura Viola was a special edition, but not limited… they said from the start that they would release more.
@@Heidejournal I know. So many times they’ll make many, many batches. I also understand, I still love the pen!
I looked for the user on etsy that you mentioned selling the glass nib Piston filler and I couldn't find them 😢
