I love pens, although I do most of my writing on the computer. I buy them at cons occasionally, and my SIL makes pens, turning wood or working acrylic blanks on a lathe. She's getting to be quite well known. My favorite pens from here are ones where I gave her the wood--from the crape myrtle outside my house, or a dogwood tree in WV.
Used to be into calligraphy in high school, but I have no idea where my pens ended up. My problem with flowing ink pens is that I'm left-handed and tend to drag my hand thru drying ink and smudge it. Is the ink quick-drying these days?
