Monbtlanc Starwalker Cool Blue

This pen is very special to me. My wife got this for my 34th birthday and it came engraved with my name as well.

The pen has an attractive surface made of bright blue lacquer. The translucent effect of the lacquer reveals a fine guilloche in the form of waves artistically engraved on a stainless steel barrel.


The metallic components of the pen are highly polished platinum-plated fittings, which adds to the heft of the pen. But the best part of this pen has to be the Montblanc's lofty white snowcap signet, floating in a transparent cap top.


Though I love the pen's design, I am not putting the pen to much use due to it's stiff nib.

Visconti Opera Master Demos Limited Edition - Blue & Clear

The Visconti line of pens, especially the Opera Demo & Divine Proportions series captivated me when I first started my fountain pen collection late 2008. The listed prices for these babies in Singapore based pen retailers can go for like 2000 SGD per piece. Prices on ebay & online pen retailers were also prohibitive, hence never in my dreams that I ever think I will actually get to own one of these, let alone two! But thanks to enablers in FPN, I managed to pick up both of these at great prices on different occasions. The blue demo was bought from Bryant i.e pentime.net, who is a well respected pen dealer in FPN. So to cut the long story short, I got my pens, and both of them pleased me so much that I had decided to make a photo video. Please click here to view the video in YouTube.
