Pelikan M600 Tortoiseshell White SE inked with Montblanc Racing Green
It’s back! My very pretty Tortoiseshell White pen in the M600 size. The honey coloured barrel is just beautiful to look at and the nib section, cap and filler knob are so white – I really worry about staining them so fill this pen with a syringe. The nib is one of my many 18K gold medium nibs this one seems a bit wetter than the norm.
The ink for this pen should be honey gold to match the pen but alas next on the list is the much-loved but now discontinued Montblanc ink – Racing Green. This dark olive ink is great for the office for general use and just works.
The older style shoe-shaped Montblanc bottle.

Pelikan M620 Stockholm inked with Pilot iroshizuku yama-budo
Yep yet another Pelikan M620 into use this time the one depicting the capital of Sweden – Stockholm. This pen is a nice combination of black, transparent and dark blue is a more sober toning than the more colourful members of the Cities series. The nib for this pen has M (for medium) marked on the nib but writes more like a fine.
Still inking up iroshizuku inks – this one is yama-budo (named after the Crimson Glory Vine) – but I think of it as the colour of young red wine. yama-budo is probably not shown at its best in a fine nib, a broad stub is where this ink excels.
A very wine-like colour in the bottle

Pelikan M600 Black/Green Striated inked with Noodler’s Ottoman Azure
A public holiday here today so I have time to post. Next up for its sixteenth time inked is my M600 sized Black/Green Striated Pelikan. The M600 is a good size for my hand and other than being slightly light this is a great pen. The nib is a M620 i.e. 18K gold instead of the M600 standard of 14K, in use I can’t feel any difference – more bling I guess. This one is a medium but writes fine, a trait of my older M620 nibs.
The ink for this journey is Noodler’s Ottoman Azure – a great ink in a broad stub or a semi-flex but less spectacular in a fine medium. A good colour nevertheless and will get a workout in the journal and in the office.
A very pretty label.
