Interesting list. 2021 brought back a desire of using fountain pens. It also found me splurging. I like heft in pens. I have a Cross and a german brand - from my ex-father-in-law. That got expanded. I prefer the german one (can't recall brand at the moment, as it's in my truck) for day to day use. I picked up two Visconti pens. The Homo Sapiens is amazing. My other one was a "oh I did actually order that" over the top pen. It's beautiful, but super austentatious and thankfully was well below cost.
