Why no contest??

I see the early results and it looks like the Snork will win, yet again reinforcing the fact that the Skyline is one underestimated pen.

Good things about Skylines:
1. Simple design (simple always better)
2. Fun to collect because so many variations (remember the Parker Duofold didn't really change a whole lot for many years, what about P51, very much "sameness")
3. Some of the most fantastic nibs you will ever get on a pen.
4. Although the design isn't liked by everyone, it was pretty innovative by a very well designer.

I agree the snork is an interesting pen, the complexity of the design does not make it overly practical unless you know how to restore them.

Oh well, go Skyline go,
Z

Snork vs Eversharp

No contest

Innovation for the ages vs prosaic sameness.
