Good pens

[the game]

So what do you guys think about good pens? the nice ones that can cost hundreds of dollars. I found one on the ground when i was at university and it was nice but I can't see myself actually spending money on one.

Do you guys have one? If you do which one do you have?

Clip Clicks got like 5 packs of 8, like $1 each. They get the job done. They even write upside down.

Honestly, I don't like pens that much. I personally go all Japanese and use a 0.5 mechanical with nano-diamond lead by mitsubishi HB, it writes similar to an American or German 2b pencil.

When I use a pen I generally use signo 207s

Whatever merch I can grab works just fine for me.

Seems like a poor investment considering the rate at which I misplace these things.

Oldest daughter thought I needed one, so I count it as a nice gift and use it when signing something that kind of stage dressing fits. Nothing terribly fancy, just a basic Montblanc.

My nan gave me her Parker pen when I went on to college, though it didn't get much use in the age of laptops it was a very nice pen. It flowed smooth across the paper.

But there a bit like pocket watches, there a luxury item nowadays with little practical, and often come across to over stated for today's current fashion. If classy ever roles back in then it might be more useful than just a center on my table.

Never been upset with my Fisher Space Pen. Fairly inexpensive and works to that last drop of ink....in space if need be.

That looks like the one I found on the ground when I was at university.

Was going to say a good pen is a stolen pen.

[Thereturn]

Aside from aestatics who needs one? The day of the pen and paper should be long gone. Its wastefull and inefficient.

Seems like a waste of money. I've been using the Precise V5 for a few years now. It's my favorite and hardly costs anything.

The really expensive pens are just a status symbol to some people. That being said you won't catch me using super cheap pens either, they can be garbage. You can get some really nice ones for around $1 - $2 each that work as well as any $100+ ones. The only reasonable excuse for spending more than that is if you need one of those ones that can write upside down or something.

They're a good, basic pen. Somewhat pricey, but that's the market they cater to. I enjoy it as a gift from my daughter but even when I was in practice I had little patience for that kind of thing -- the same for fancy watches. My tastes are simple and I'd rather spend my money on good shoes or decent tailoring (with ties an unavoidable evil to be purchased as needed).

Whatever it takes to get the job done.

No pen is going to improve my handwriting of a 9 year old.

and of course a rOrting:

+1 on the Rotring. I use a 2mm one for work and it's an excellent mechanical pencil.

Years ago I got hooked on these:


They're not expensive or anything but just feel "right".
