Sometimes I think there are several types of feathers that correspond to as many types of users: Pen-
- instrument. These pens are designed to be used daily as a writing tool. Of course, we find pieces of different quality levels to suit the different purchasing power of potential users. Only the big brands, which for me become great brands for this very reason we offered models aimed at different user levels (Parker, Waterman, Sheaffer, Aurora, Lamy, Pelikan, Pilot, for example) while other manufacturers have specialized or user purchasing a certain level or type of fountain whose primary objective is not writing. Fancy Feather
- or collectors. A few years here seems to have become the fashion of the fountain pen, as seems to mean the proliferation of unbranded parts suggest known or the release of collections of feathers around a theme (writers, story writing, etc. .) However, still not written in pen. The compraddores of this type of pen seem to want to book them for contemplation and visual enjoyment. These are models made of materials quality, but not too flashy designs and are, no doubt, a mainstay of the world implortante pen today and a pool of future addicts pen. A dear friend is a strong advocate of this type of pen and take this opportunity to remind you I'm waiting for that "praise from the pen of fantasy" that he promised to write and I'm looking to publish in this blog.

In some cases it is fountain of relative quality lose their value by the desire to imitate well-known pieces. Models such as the Parker Sonnett or brands like Montblanc, Cartier Dupont or are suffering from this problem further replication.
- Pen-art. This is a current trend in some brands like Kynsey, DaniTrio, Namiki, Platinum and other Maki-e, which makes the writing instrument in an artistic medium. I can not imagine writing a series Kinsey stories, for example, but watching it in a glass case and admire the picture drawn on the barrel and cap.
Anyway, here are some insights very personal about the current pen. I hope to read your opinions, sure, extend, correct and improve the outlook.
