When you've got a pen in your hand you just can't do wrong.

Great video. Vintage pens are great. I hardly use anything else.

[JellyBellyMystic]

I am just starting to purchase fountain pens, I am waiting to receive my first one in the mail. This video is very inspiring.

[DanMorgan98]

@buelna24 Neon Bible by Arcade Fire.

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

yes. I've heard about this. Vintage pens able to write in copperplate or similar script. very flexible.

[jeremyplease]

I wish i could write like that.....

[brian8793]

Practice makes perfect :)

[ZXOH]

can someonw please tell me the name of the pen which was used for the writing at 0:40? That would be a great help =)

[leighpod]

It's a vintage Wahl #5 pen. :)

[ZXOH]

thank you very much =)

now I have to find it somewhere to buy. do you remember or know how much I have to calculate with?

and one more thing, what do you think of the waterman 52 rrhr? is that also good?

I hope I am not asking too many questions^^"

[Shangas]

1920s right? I have a few gold Wahl pens like that (three, in fact).

Aren't they just amazing writers & lookers?

[imhosaibabaischeatin]

@leighpod What does the "#5" stand for? I have a Wahl #3 that looks exactly the same. Could you explain the difference, please?

[leighpod]

@imhosaibabaischeatin Wahl (and other pen companies) numbered their nibs by size. I know of Wahl 0 to Wahl 5. The 5 is both a larger nib and pen compared to the 3. :D

[imhosaibabaischeatin]

@leighpod thx for explaining! Hope you don't mind a follow up? Is a bigger nib also more flexible or do they have the same writing characteristics?

[benthebug]

It wouldn't be the type of pen, it would be what they call the "nib". Its the metal piece at the end of the pen.

[afagjoi]

The Omas Milor Arco is the most beautiful pen.

[TheVampireChannel]

whats the one on 0:27 i love it an i want it can u tell me were to find it an how much does it cost

[leighpod]

That one is a Visconti Skeleton. Just do a google search for online retailers. :)

[misslv80]

Wonderful video, Leigh. Which is the one with the oriental lady on it (the maki-e pen)?

[leighpod]

It's from the Namiki Nippon Art series. I think it's called "Vidro." :)

[90w30n]

Beautifully done!

[90w30n]

Beautifully done!

[leighpod]

That's the Pilot Justus! It's not an overfeed, per se, more like an adjustment bar that makes the nib softer or harder, similar to the adjustable Eversharp nib.

[azavalia1]

I love the blend of music and pens that you are presenting.  What is the pens at 0:51 with the metallic overfeed?
