From My FIRST Fountain Pen to My GRAIL Pen

Every fountain pen collector has that one pen. The pen you dream about. The pen you compare every other pen against. The pen that slowly becomes the destination after years of trying different nibs, filling systems, materials, sizes, and styles. In this video, I’m taking you through my entire fountain pen journey — from my very first fountain pen to the pen I now consider my Grail fountain pen. This journey took years. Along the way, I went through budget pens, impulse buys, unexpected favorites, disappointments, “almost grails,” and pens I thought would end the search… until the next one appeared. Some pens taught me what I loved: ✔ Smooth nibs ✔ Wet writers ✔ Unique resins ✔ Comfortable grip sections ✔ Reliable filling systems ✔ Incredible cap seals ✔ Pens that feel special every single time you pick them up Other pens taught me what I didn’t want at all. But every pen moved the journey forward. This video is about more than just one fountain pen — it’s about how collecting evolves over time and how our tastes change as we experience more pens, inks, papers, and writing styles. Whether you’re brand new to fountain pens or deep into the hobby already, I think a lot of you will relate to this journey. And honestly… I’m not even sure the “grail journey” ever truly ends.
