Like many, with a pen collection, there are a handfull or so of pens that are used the most, these are my Pens of Note. I rank these high in my terms of quality of pen and writing experience.

• Faber-Castell - I have a couple of pens from this company, and the two lines that I have, Mondoro and Ambition are very solid writters!

• OMAS — when you write with an OMAS pen you will may hear yourself saying: "So this is what writing with a fountain pen is all about!" The nib on an OMAS pen is incredibly smooth. My collection of OMAS pens is growing, each with its own unique writing experience.
