Top 10 Under-Appreciated Ink Brands

How many pens make a collection? I ask because, well, I seem to have developed a little Kaweco AL Sport habit. At first I didn’t find the Kawecos aesthetically pleasing. I was fresh off a Lamy Safari experience with a molded grip that I didn’t enjoy and I didn’t want anything that was faceted. And…
