The Best Pens I Collected This Year

As the year draws to a close, it is time to take a look back at all of the fountain pens that made their way into my collection over the year and see what I would determine to be the top 5 pens of 2025. As I did last year, I also add in a couple of honorable mentions, and then I go through all of the maker pens that I added this year, as maker pens don't fall into a ranking system for me, as they are all unique.

I also announce in the video that there is a new YouTube channel membership level that after 10 months, you will receive a pen made by me. For more information about channel memberships, you can look at the following link.
