I know I had said that Dan from FPGeeks was going to be the first submission for the Weekly Loadout feature, but he is a busy man, and I got a few submissions before he was able to send his over. He’s working on it, and it should be on the way soon!

To tide you over, here is a submission from:
Peter LoRe aka trefstemetrese on tumblr and trefste_metrese on instagram.
Peter’s Description (Left to Right):
- Levenger L-Tech Stealth (M): I wanted a Rotring 600, I got this instead. I was not disappointed.
- Lamy Safari (B): I like the Safari series. I love this color. I love this ink. (see the edjelley.com review here)
- Pelikan M205 (BB): I bought it thinking I would use the highlighter. It wasn’t cutting it as a highlighter and is too broad for daily writing. Smooth as butter though.
- Monteverde Invincia Stealth (M): My favorite pen in my collection.
- Lamy Safari (EF): I just switched nibs on this, as I thought this EF’s tines were out of whack. Turns out I was wrong as this combo writes beautifully, especially with what I consider a difficult ink. (see the edjelley.com review here)
- Noodler’s Ahab (Flex): This ink/pen combo is great for editing. Just lays down the blood-red slashes.
- Kaweco Sport: I really hate this pen. Everything about it is sub-par for how much it costs. It is in the loadout because I never use it so It stays inked.
Paper:
- Rhodia Dot Pad (see the edjelley.com review here)
Favorite Combo:
- I really am enjoying the nib swapped Safari EF with Noodler’s BSB.
Least Favorite Combo:
- The Kaweco Sport needs to go away.
Editor’s Note:
I really like what you have going on here, especially that there are three “stealthy” pens. All black everything is a motto I tend to live my life by. We can all thank Jay-Z for that (sorta?). I own several of these pens, and they’re all solid performers for the most part. I’ve been eyeing the Levenger L-Tech and the Monteverdia Invincia Stealth for a while now, but other pens have taken over the top acquisition spot. Someday I’ll have them though. I also have a Kaweco Sport that I wasn’t the biggest fan of until I made some adjustments. It wrote very dry, and wasn’t the most pleasant pen to use. I would try spreading the tines a bit to increase the flow and use a more lubricated ink. With the flow adjusted and full of Noodler’s Bad Blue Heron, it’s like a new pen. One that I actually enjoy. I think this is a solid loadout with a lot of solid ink choices. This isn’t too far off from what I usually carry, so thumbs up!

Nice load out, shame about the kaweco, I quite like mine and keep it inked and on me at most times.
They must be hit or miss, I’ve heard both good and bad things. After adjusting the flow, mine was great. I just wish the plastic was a bit more substantial. In other words, I should have bought an AL-Sport haha.
