Sporting these today.
-Rolex Sea Dweller with Hirsch Chrono Shark watch strap
-Tree Brand Congress knife, I believe
-Lamy Safari, charcoal, with broad nib
-Zippo, and clove cigarettes
-Arc-AAA with keys
Nice, Mr. bama lou. Those Safaris are hard to beat. I've gat a couple around here and give 'em for gifts. I've got a charcoal with an italic nib. Give an italic a go... they'll make all writing look good!
Actually, I have a Lamy Joy calligraphy pen and the nib section, lower part where the cartridge attaches to the pen (no idea what it's called), I just found out can be connected to the Safari bodies. Very cool.
I use FP's on a regular basis, and although my handwriting isn't stellar, it made one of my co-workers remark "you know, you could probably forge the Declaration of Independence with the way you write". What a great idea, I thought...
quattrokid:
It is actually smooth and free flowing, although I don't use it on a regular basis because sometimes it can be too broad for everyday writing. Apart from my Lamy Joy, this is the broadest FP I have, all the rest are medium. Haven't tried Fine or even Extra Fine nibs though.

After many years of carrying aluminum handled Swiss Army Knives, I searched through many knife makers new offerings of locking single blade knives. I settled on Kershaw's Ken Onion Leek. I have four of them, the latest one is the 1660CB (composite blade?). The D2 edge stays sharp and is easy to sharpen. And the composite blade looks cool.
Ever since reading about the new knife alloys on various websites I have made a concerted effort to collect them all and try them out. Latest acquisition is a Busse Satin Jack.

Too many customs knives and sebbies that I can't afford 
. Im still sticking with the BM 930 Kulgera but I swapped my Leatheman Charge for a vic camper engraved "das tolle Messer" just cause it is easier to carry without sheeple seeing.

Loving the Ken Onion Blur in Black, which has temporarily replaced my Ti/ZDP Leek.
When I'm headed somewhere that a large blade will draw unwanted attention, I carry my Fallkniven U2.
This has been a great thread to read--I've discovered some really gorgeous blades and other pocket tools. Thanks for sharing, everyone.

Wow, 1 post in 3 years
you could have given good 'ole Tuvold a run for his money if you would have kept your vow of silence 
. Still happily carrying my new sebenza 21, blackberry pearl, and the usual empty wallet and keys.
