If I Could Only Keep 10 Fountain Pens…

Inspired by a post on Inky Imaginings, I decided to accept the challenge and pick the 10 fountain pens I’d keep. I’m glad I didn’t have to include non-fountain pens in this list. This was a fun adventure and it was interesting to see that, for the most part, I picked similar pens from the last couple challenges but the model or color may have changed. I think when I think about only having 10 pens, I chose more neutral exterior colors so I could choose any color ink. When I choose a distinctly colored pen body, I want to choose an ink to match. If I only have 10 pens, I want to be able to use ALL the inks.
