My wife gave me a Waterman fountain pen for my birthday over 10 years ago after I saw my cousin had one and I broke out into a fit of envy. I enjoy writing, and loved writing with a nice pen instead of a throw-away ballpoint pen. I used my Waterman everyday at work when I had a prestigious job working with judges and attorneys. When I retired from that position and went to work as just "a regular guy," I retired my Waterman because I didn't want to seem pretentious, and I used the throw-away pens provided by my next employer. But after my wife recently passed away, I wanted to resume using the Waterman because it had been a gift from her. When I did, I noticed the gold plating was coming off the nib and it felt like the nib was sort of dragging on the paper; I could almost hear sort of a scratching sound as the nib moved across the paper. So, I decided to do some Internet research and find a better fountain pen.Clearly, I wasn't in the market for a Mont Blanc and I didn't want to spend $400 or $500 for a fountain pen. What my research revealed was the Parker Sonnet was widely reviewed as a pen without criticisms of any kind. It can be purchased with a variety of nibs, but having had a pen that shed its gold plating I opted for the 18k carat gold nib. Reviewers also commented that this nib would be expected to provide the best writing experience.My Parker Sonnet was delivered yesterday and I took it to work today. The difference between my Parker and my Waterman is HUGE! First of all, the feel and balance of the Parker Sonnet is far better than the Waterman: it's lighter, and if you are inclined to put the cap on top of the pen while you write, it's doable with the Parker Sonnet but when the cap is placed on top of the Waterman it is noticeably unbalanced. Then, I noticed the nib literally glided across the paper with no drag whatsoever. I couldn't have been happier about that. And, although both my Parker Sonnet and my Waterman have fine nibs, the Parker Sonnet's line was noticeably finer than my Waterman's line. Finally, when my boss came into my office to ask me a question, she commented about what an attractive pen I was using.If you are in the market for a quality fountain pen, both in its appearance and its performance on paper, you won't go wrong with the Parker Sonnet with an 18k nib.
