If you love fountain pen ink as much as I do, then you need to head over Vanness Pens right away and check out the Robert Oster lineup.

Made in Australia, these inks rank right up there with any other brand in color, vibrancy, and shading. Just look at the color spectrum they offer! The best part? These inks are only $16. And if you buy three, shipping is free in the US.

Pelikan releases a color of the year every year, and in 2016 it is this wonderful shade of blue-green. You can even choose the full set, which includes a bottle of matching Aquamarine Edelstein Ink.

Top 5 Pens, Fall 2016

One of each: Pilot Custom 823, Blackwing 602, Apica CD

My Top 5 Pens list has entered the refinement phase. While it would be nice to have monthly or quarterly updates, the fact remains that many of the top pens remain unchallenged. There is a reason they are the best, and they are standing the test of time.

Most lists remained unchanged, or possibly had one new pen enter the list. Some lists had two, and none had three. I did add one new list for fountain pens between $200-$500 which has been requested for a while and I have enough experience in that area now to plant a flag.

I also changed my personal comments on each section to a “Just Missed” section, which I think is more useful.

Regardless of the amount of change each version of this list has it is fun to put it together. If you have any questions, feel like I overlooked your favorite, or have a request for a new list please let me know.
