Titanium

I started collecting fountain pens after discovering the Pilot Myu 701. Taking that as a sign, I made a mental note to track down its natural predecessor, the Parker T1. It took me more than fifteen years to find one. In the meantime, many other pens —too many, in fact— found their way into my pockets.

Among them were several other titanium pieces : an Indian Lotus, a Chinese Fuga, and a Japanese H-Works. Implicit in that list, though absent from the picture, is the Nakaya Piccolo that the Lotus so unashamedly copied.

Each of those pens probably deserves a review of its own. Whether they will get one is another matter entirely.
