EDC Pens?

[Nice65]

Those Zebra pens are great value. My favourite pen is the Machine Era original brass. Perfectly weighted, for my tastes, and a lovely writer. ATM I’m trying to find a stainless one but having no luck.

Much prefer the Fx-MD to the original with the black plastic clicky, they’re fantastic value. The Rotring was a good score too, came up in an Amazon deal at about £15 a few years ago.

Good luck in your search, you look well qualified to find your grail pen, and then soon after yearn another grail pen. Were terrible for it, us lot.

My problem is that I’d lose an edc pen every day.
My solution is not to carry one.
There are pens and notebooks in every room also a big bundle of very soft pencils in my workroom plus two pens in the car.
There is a pen and notebook in my rucksack and the same in my first aid kit.

These are all ballpoints of one sort or another.

Pretty sure the latter isn't a solution but a causality of the former.

I love my machine era classic as well. Fits in a little slot on my zip wallet, unbreakable and feels lovely to write with.
It seems they stock is hard to come by at the moment for a lot of there stuff because they are busy machining new stuff.

Whatever happened to the bushcraft philosophy thread ?

Where formerly I would intend to carry a pen and subsequently lose it, you would be correct.
Where I have analysed the situation and taken a conscious decision that I shall not carry one but have many available then I have devised a solution.
Would you be happier with “resolution”?

I tried keeping a pencil behind my ear for a while but I frequently forgot it was there.

Of course my real edc “pen” Is the one that I’m using right now. I’m writing across the phone keyboard by sliding my thumb between the letters in a quite graphic manner: all swirls and curves. Talking to others who have tried this method, I may be the only person in the universe who uses it.

Edited to ask:

Does anyone carry a ”tactical“ pen “ed” and what tactics can it perform?

Do politician’s script writers edc tactical pens?

I take it you're using Swype (R) or similar gesture based keyboard on your phone. If so that's what I use. Keep your finger on the screen and move it from letter to letter to type. With a little circle over letters that get repeated like double e in keep.

It's a quicker typing method and when I first n used it I read that someone from South Korea held the fastest phone typing record using Swype (R) keyboard. Apparently there's a set sentence involving Tyrannosaurus Rex that you have to type in order to be timed for that record. I tried it and ran out of time two words in! Guess I'm never going to hold that record!

Your Ear?

I think you may need some medical assistance.

Anyone have an EDC pen?
I carry a few around in my bag when I take my bag places but a pen always seems uncomfortable in my pocket, probably the I get is a pencil behind my ear, I've gone to bed with them there before I'd like to carry a decent pen, but i'd rather avoid that pocket stabbing that can occur.

Any of you carry a pen regularly and want to share?

I grab some pens when I go in the bookies. They bowt 3 inches long and go in my wallet. also got one on my edc swiss army knife. never even used it. I forget its there. x

Just join a long chain to the bottom of a pen and carry that around the house. Like what banks used to offer at their branches. When they had branches.

The original Tactical Pen(cil)?
Not titanium but solid silver and now 50 years old!

@TeeDee
You mean something like this:
It’s attached to the house communal calendar, five feet from the one under the TV which is four feet from the pot with three of them in it by my chair.

 

[Ozmundo]

I just carry a carpentry pencil and a sharpie, the latter mostly for the substance abuse aspect. And a box of crayons to lend out.

 

[gg012]

I also carry crayons, but to eat

Does no one edc a pencil in this way any more?

I EDC a pen every day in the front pocket of my blue jeans. No, it does not stab or poke me.

Right now, a Pentel Energel metal pen is the normal EDC pen but, a similar Sharpie ballpoint has also fit that roll in the past and like will again in the future. A metal Parker Jotter is a great option for EDC as well, being a bit shorter with one of those awesome Easyflow 9000 refills.

I have a big brass Chinese knock off of a tactical pen. I doubt I could actually break any windows with it, but it is big and bulky so I am not likely to lose it or break it.

The Parker option was my choice for quite some time with that refill too

Fisher space pen all the way for me, in a small one in my primary kit and a large one in my secondary kit. In the big bag I always carry a Sharpie, also one of those in my secondary kit. However my daily carry SAK a cybertool has a pen on it also. TBF if I know I'm going somewhere and notes need to be taken I'll make sure I have a notebook and pen with me. Also, there is my notes app on my phone and I'll use text to note for fast notes on the go.

I picked up a BigiDesign bolt action pen. It's a ballpoint/rollerball, but where it is unique is that the length can be adjusted to take hundreds of different refills, so you can write with the refill of choice or one that you have whipped out of another pen.

See HERE not cheap, but good.

I have their Pocket Pro and like it a lot! Similar in its ability to take lots of different refills.
