In the morning, I had:
Lamy 2000 with Noodler's Goulet exclusive Purple Heart
TWSBI Diamond 540 Smoke with Diamine Denim
TWSBI Vac 700 Smoke with Private Reserve Midnight Blues
Once I got my Konrad package from Goulet, I put the Diamond back on the desk and made the third pen:
Noodler's Konrad Roaring 20s with Noodler's Rome is Burning
Lamy 2000 with Noodler's Goulet exclusive Purple Heart
TWSBI Diamond 540 Smoke with Diamine Denim
TWSBI Vac 700 Smoke with Private Reserve Midnight Blues

A little black Conway Stewart 84 joined the Pelikan in my pocket this morning.
The only pens I pocketed today were my ebonite Noodler's Konrad with FPH-exclusive Noodler's Henry Hudson Blue and a government-issue Skilcraft ballpoint for clients to sign documents with. I only had a couple of obligations out of the office today, so I didn't have much use for pocketing my pens.
Kaweco Ice Sport with a fine nib and Kaweco Blue ink
Parker Jotter in the jacket pocket. Pilot Plumix (my first venture in the italic nib field) with the standard black ink in my shirt pocket. Thinking of draining the cartridge and filling it up with more exciting ink rather than waiting to write it dry!
Bexley Corona with Diamine Denim in it
Platinum 3776 Music Nib, with Noodler's black.

Now you're cooking!
Today again I tested a Pelikan M200 with my Knox F nib conversion and some Delta blue ink. Sweet combo -- I'm really pleased with the little Knox 26mm for such a low price ($8.99)!
Here's the nib unit I put together:
Noodlers Ahab (Bumblebee) with Black Eel. After lightly scoring the feed channel, IT WRITES!!!
On loan from a generous friend. (Cheers, Mark.)
Lamy Al-Star with 1.1 italic nib loaded with de Atramentis "Benjamin Franklin" ink (a very nice dark blue)
Red Mesa Tortoise Noodler's Konrad with Platinum Mixfree Green
Jade Ebonite Noodler's Konrad with FPH-exclusive Noodler's Henry Hudson Blue
Bexley Corona with Diamine Denim
I'm loving the Konrads so far. The 3 I have are perfect so far with no pre-flushing or any intervention. It makes me think the main Ahab issue really has been feeds that are too smooth.

Day two for the bumblebee Ahab (with Noodler's Black Eel). I think I finally got it ironed out, but am going to give it a week of use before declaring victory.
Today was my first opportunity to use my Platinum Plaisir in a work meeting. I loved wielding it!
Good news. It gets addicting.
Ahab with BBB and a HERO 1026 with Pelikan Br/Bl.
This again, and I'm loving the ink.
