But you never said what kind! What kind of nib is that, a medium? Cartridge? Converter? Lever? Plunger?

I have three fountain pens. I have a Montblanc with a bold nib. It's very nice, but I almost never have really nice paper, so it often comes out a bit anesthesia and ink gets all over my hands. I love it. Carrying an ink bottle around is a pain though. I have a Lamy with a medium nib that is my everyday pen. It's made out of some kind of impact resistant plastic that can really take a beating. It can be tough to get the ink going again if I haven't used it in a while, but I like it enough that I'd buy another. They're still under $40 I think. Lastly, I have a Cross, with a fine nib, which I love, but unfortunately, the cartridges are really small, almost as if they were designed for a pen used exclusively for signatures.

Anyway, I still have terrible handwriting but I love letting my hands shape the words and seeing how the lines are influenced by the implements. Tools are very important to me and I find that often the people who don't consider their tools to be important, are tools themselves.
