Its around the price range I'm looking in, as something which will be a joy to use and last many many years but not over commit in case it doesn't get as much use as I expect.
I have used FPs all through my school days so am very familiar with them, and this would be to keep in my home-base office, not for when I'm on the road as would really not want leakage on the plane etc..
The other I have on my radar is this:

Between Pilot, Sailor and Platinum, its Platinum which grabs my eye the most.
I'm not in any rush to pull the trigger, so very open to other thoughts or suggestions as there is a lot to learn still ! |
You picked out some really nice fountain pens, but don't worry too much about the one you select leaking. In well over a half century of carrying fountain pens daily I have only had one or two instances of leaks and at least one of those instances was a brain dead instance of putting the pen in my pocket while the cap was still in my hand.
Remember in Nakayas, Cigars have no pocket clip while writers do.
I have the Platinum #3776 Ascending Dragon, several Izumos and also several writer Nakaya Portables. My Izumos and Nakayas get far more pocket time than the Ascending Dragon.
