The ultimate stealth pen is the one that goes missing under or inside a piece of furniture and doesn't get found for 5+ years.
Bravo, 👏👏👏 Great Job. And now an endorsement for pen and dealer. Last Father’s Day my wife gave me an All American in South West turquoise. Ha!? Not being a pen geek my wife had forgotten two years before oldest daughter Father’s Day gifted me the exact same pen also from Goulet! When I got around to it and phoned Goulet and explained the problem. No Problem, I sent my “new” SW Turquoise back to Goulet, a week later I received the the requested all black All American featured here. The same flawless Goulet customer service I have experienced for nearly 15 years. And A great pen and great writer just like my original SW Turquoise. And hey with 2 All Americans I occasionally swap the caps or barrels for different looks.
Two thumbs up. Especially, I liked the Raven pen poem!
thank you Brian 😭 I've been going through a really rough time, but I can always count on you for a wonderful informative video with a bit of silly about one of my favorite topics ✒
Love this. Wonderful setup. Oh oh, all of these pens are something an agent could Live and let Die Twice for.
Now, Now. I own 4 of these pens. The Raven is next.
As a compliment: This is the best video of this channel for me. And I watch almost all of them.
What a fun video!! I really enjoyed that. Didn't know stealthy pens were a thing. I don't own a stealthy pen, but... now I've got to consider getting one!
7:36 I was waiting for you to insert the Nicholas Cage clip from National Treasure: “I’m gonna steal the Declaration of Independence” 🤣🤣🤣 Loved this list!
what a fun video!!! 🎉 loved it!! i need a black pen too!!
Hello Goulet..., Brian Goulet. What a nice surprise to see a new FP video tonight.
Secret agent Goulet has a license to thrill and remained neither shaken or stirred 😉
So glad to see the dialogue on the list!! Such an underrated pen and i thought of it as soon as i saw the video title. So stealthy, some might not even recognize it as a pen unless they saw it in use!
I really like the Faber Castell e-motion Pure Black. Heavy pen, all black including the nib, one of my favorites
I would have expected Brian to include the Lamy 2000.
I would have included the Lamy Aion, but that pen happens to have sentimental value for me. I had lived as an American for my entire life before going to the Social Security office and learning that I was an undocumented alien. (Born in Canada to an American mother who didn't know she had to do the paperwork for me to be a citizen.) After six years and some money, I was finally able to get the missing documents. I needed to go to San Francisco for this and happened to wander past a Lamy store while walking to my appointment. I returned to the store after getting my citizenship certificate. I was planning to buy a 2000, but decided on the Aion after trying everything in the store. So- this fine pen is a memento of me becoming a citizen after being American my entire life.
The Lamy 2000 and Aion are not stealth pens because the clips are silver/chrome. But that's an interesting story! Thanks for sharing. (My Lamy 2000 has sentimental value as well and for odd legal reasons too.)
@ I consider a pen to be "stealth" if it doesn't attract unwanted attention. It doesn't necessarily have to be black. Hooded nibs and reasonable size both contribute to stealth.
@@dwightjones3305 That's fine -"I consider" means that's your stipulated definition, but it isn't the descriptive definition in the fountain pen community nor in the mechanical pencil one.
Just got my Vanishing Point Matte Black yesterday and it's already my favorite pen.
Agent Goulet
My matte black vanishing point had flow issues for years, until I got it tuned at the sf pen show.
Now it's one of my favorite writers.
(Mine is old style, with facets)
Oooh! A blackout fountain pen video. Nice!
Great video! Pineider Avatar UR matte black would be a great choice as well!
I know! I adore mine but Brian seems to forget he even carries the brand
Out of all of these, the Diplomat Viper would actually probably be the stealthiest on radar. Although not by much.
The way radar stealth works is by reflecting radar off and away from the source in a way the designer can control. So that leads to the jagged and sharp edges you see on stealth craft. Rounded surfaces are terrible for stealth as they are essentially have infinite sides. So the knurled pattern on the Diplomat Viper would produce the smallest radar profile out of all these pens.
So that's why bond is jacked...
You done good there, Brian: I resisted skipping ahead to the end, and was rewarded with a cool show…and my second-favorite pen making top-o'-the-heap (my #1-with-a-bullet being Pilot's Custom 823). Mission (truly) accomplished.
Hongdian Black Forest series should totally be on this list but alas goulet doesn't sell them.
Love that Viper! That's going on my wish list for sure. I really wanted the VP in black matte, but I was afraid it would be too big for me - I have small hands and prefer a slimmer pen - so I opted for the Decimo instead. Too bad that doesn't come in the matte as well.
That was awesome sauce! I love that the Esterbrook Raven was on the list. It’s one of my grails💗👍🏾
I love the Lamy Studio All Black too. I would’ve included the Sailor Imperial Black too.
*slow clap* - Amazingly done video. Absolutely perfect.
I love my vanishing point. Only issue I have is after a using it for a year. The black color starts to erode away. Yet it’s the best pen I’ve ever owned
They're cool. I was actually looking for a stealthier pen... a rollerball.. I know, how dare I!, but I got a pilot jotter. Super not fancy, and reasonable cheap. An all blacked out one, is pretty cool!
I've been thinking about a Studio for a while and I think that black edition is about to be in my cart.
I love that the Sailor KOP ebonite is under the radar in that very few people really would know what it is, or why it's special. Besides being visually stealthy, there's the "if you know, you know" part of being low key.
You're too crazy. You got me laughing😂.
Great video. Loved the poem
I know there are many Lamys in the video, but I own a black matte Lamy CP1 that would fit very well in the group.
Great video! So much fun! Now I want one
The Lamy Studio all black is so stealthy I didn't know this variant exists!
Excellent...I need to look at the Viper….
Great video! Greetings from Chile
Lamy studio and Lamy dialog cc are really awesome. So beautiful.
I love this channel .
You promised honorable mentions! :D
Brian, could you make a video matching cars or laptops to fountain pens? Thanks for the great and creative content!
Love this video!
For me a definite win for the raven. That poem just hits right.
Faber-Castell e-motion pure black is my only stealth pen.
Otto Hutt Design 07 matt black - All too cool!
He takes his martinis heat set, not stirred.
'Stealth' could be dark colours in a matt finish, OR a pen that looks like something else.
You forgot the LAMY CP1. Certainly stealthier than most of the selection stated here!
Exactly
Especially, if you put a black or black LX nib on
Because of my Pilot VP, I can do anything!
The intro 😂, so should have added an explosion though
Too many Lamy already, I understand...
But the CP1, my CP1, is sooo stealthy that I cannot find it anywhere anymore. 😢
---
PS of course I swapped the original nib with a black one
PPS Nuntio vobis gaudium magnum!
I agree with this message.
The ones I own and love most in this ‘stealth’ category are:
Aurora 88 Black Mamba
Aurora Talentum (Black Ops)
Aurora 88 Unica Nera
Stipula Passaporto
Sailor Pro Gear Imperial Black
Question, how do you thing the new tariffs will impact the Fountain pen industry?
Nice video. You sure the Lamy is pronounced All Star? It is written AL Star, I thought the AL was symbol for aluminum, which is what the pen is made from.
I THINK THE LAMY STUDIO LX ALL BLACK LOOKS AND FEELS BETTER THAN THE 2K.
DEAL WITH ME !
Lamy 2000 and Pilot Vanishing Point would be my choices.
Montblanc Meistersruk 146 Ultrablack is so gorgeous
Fun, fun, Brian
All of that just to arrive at the Pilot VP as the MOST stealthy pen without even mentioning the Luxury Silent VP?!
I love my Vanishing Point, but I absolutely hate the position of the clip. It should be off to the side.
Sheaffer 300 matte.
For me it has to be the All-American and the Viper in the top spots. Glossy or not, the All-American is just a classy pen. On the other side of the range, the Viper is virtually unobtrusive.
To me, my Lamy Safari Steele Black has a purple tint to it.
You forgot the Faber-Castell e-motion pure black.
I see a red pen and i want it painted black...
Kaweco Perkeo is missing from your convo. It can even come with its own black clip that fades away from its silhouette. Also, black Kaweco Sport, pocket size, and black. Finally, there is the Faber-Castell Grip in all black with multiple texture & materials.
Kaweco has at least one really stealth one: Kaweco AL Sport Night Edition. Limited, completely matte black, including the nib. Heck, even the branding is black, almost invisible.
I either have all of these pens or they are on my wishlist. This video was made for me. I liked it, and then unliked it just so I could like it again. 11 out of 10, no notes.
Conklin for the win.
Honourable mention: Online-Pen Switch Expert Schwarz (with a touchscreen tip), although it is hard to find outside of Germany.
Lamy 2000 is the ultimate stealth pen IMO. You can't not have it in your list!
Yeah, no cramming it full of honorable mentions, we have things to get back to! Anyway, I gotta go catch back up on 5 previous videos I missed...
First comment! Great video format
Please: Let's not ommit the sound factor on stealthyness!
At the end of the day do not all the pilot vp's end up to be fidget toys?
I never saw a single one of them in the wild, which's owner doesn't go "click-e-di-clack" all the time until you secretely want to throttle them with bare hands to retain a little peace and quiet...
Therefor I highly recommend the vp LS in black as a worthy substitute for #1 of this list.
I don't own any black fountain pens. I like more vibrant colors wich would show up better if the slipped into the very bottom of my backpack.
A fountain pen that doesn't look like a fountain pen could also be considered as a stealth pen.
😂😂😂 ❤️it!
🖤 🖊️ 🕵🏿♂️
Safari? Al-Star? Stealth? Really?
I have black Lamy. Even though not one of your criteria, to me a big point is it looks to casual observer as just another plastic rollerball... nothing exotic, nothing expensive. That's stealth.
"There will be honorable mentions."
Cue end of video with no honorable mentions.....my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
No love for stealthy carbon fiber pens? Booo!
Should not Sailor CYLINT Fountain Pen - Black Stainless Steel be included too?
I either have all of these pens or they are on my wishlist. This video was made for me. I liked it, and then unliked it just so I could like it again. 11 out of 10, no notes.
