EDC Pens?

[sidpost]

Arrived this morning, that's me sorted. Can't see needing another before they carry me out, feet first. Stainless is just as nice a feel in the hand as the brass version.

Congratulations! I hope they serve you well.

Thanks. I love how they write and I need to make more of an effort to pull out the notebook instead of the remote control.

Metacil metal pencil - 16k of writing without sharpening.

Kaweco sport fountain pens for a bit of compact luxury! Screw off the sealing, big cap, post it on the end and you've got almost a full sized fountain pen. Screw the cap on tight it shouldn't leak and it's pocketable. Plus German made / designed. Germans and Japanese make good pens. These are also cheap for fountain pens too.

The Kaweco sport is my choice too. Love a fountain pen.

Still interested?

Hey there, I'm wondering if you still have any of the fn pens available?

Possibly - Let me check - which may take some time as I have chores to do today.

The Uni Power Tank Ballpoint Pen has proven to be a winner for me for pocket carry.​

I have a few scattered about and they’re brilliant, pressurized so upside down, on wet paper etc.

Dear @Woody girl sent me a handmade Paduk wood pen that’s getting all the use now. Initially it seemed thicker than I’d like, but that’s just to my own eyes and what I think looks good, it’s the most comfortable thing so I dropped a Schmidt gel refill in and it writes beautifully, no cramping in my fingers which was definitely being caused by me liking the look of slim pens.

I can vouch for Kaweco fountain pens. The best writing fountain pen I have used and I have used a fair few.

How they compare to TWSBI?

I get a box of these occasionally and scatter them throughout cars, desks, notebooks, kits, etc. To me the perfect size of slimness, the right amount of click, a bit of history and cheap enough to lose. The US Government Skilcraft pen...available in black and blue.

How they compare to TWSBI?

I have not used TWSBI pens so can't offer a comparison. In the past I have used Sheaffer, Parker pens as well as Rotring and Staedtler draughting pens. None of them were as good as the Kawesco sport I use now. Also, the sport is reasonably priced.

Big fan of the parker refil however getting into the Pilot flexxions and their refiils a complete pain to find a cheap decent pen for them.

I have gone back to carrying the Big-i-Design bolt action adjustable pen. Like THIS but thicker. It takes hundreds of different refills. I sometimes carry a mechanical pencil that takes a 1.3mm lead. The eraser on them is fairly useless though, but I find 0.5 and 0.7mm leads too narrow for my tastes
