Hogs, what is your favorite pen?

I can't say I have tackled the Tactical Pen field but I did look for a nice pen to write with a few years ago and within my price range I found a Levenger fountain pen and a Waterman ball point. I've got a few Rotrings but they are too heavy to carry so they stay on my desk.

Ok, I admit it... I'm a Surefire Addict and that includes their awesome Pens! I prefer the smaller of the two, the Pen II, as it fits my hand better. they are both tough as nails! Solid machined aluminum with very nice Stainless Steel clip and tips.

The blue one, I have carried for 6 months in my jeans pocket. The thing looks NEW! Another nice thing, on the bigger of the two, you can adjust it to take any cartridge you want!

Great stuff!

I'm a sucker for Pelikan - love the piston fill and smooth writing.

For beating around I like the cheap plastic bodied click-top Fisher Space Pens.

My newest favorite for use at work is a Nakaya portable cigar in Wajima-Urushi nuri "Kuro-tamenuri". It's a great finish and the pen is great without a clip. The broad nib is pretty bold; I wish I had gone with the medium. But it's a smooth and very wet writer. Like it!

Great pens! I also have both and completely agree with what you've said. The Surefire Pen II is my go to, indestructible pen.:thumbup::cool:
 
I've got a Rotring 600 old style ball point & .5 mech pencil set in black, a Waterman Hemisphere set in brushed stainless, and a Cross Century set in chrome. At work, I carry a Fisher black matte Cap-O-Matic, carpenter's pencils, Sharpie fines , and a lumber crayon while for work/play at home, I most often use a Pentel .5 pencil, a Fisher or a Sharpie ultra fine. Nothing terribly fancy but they suit my needs.

daaaaaaaaaaaamn! don't forget that you can always send it to richard binder and he can narrow that nib for you, if you can stand to give it up for a little while anyway. :thumbup:
 
a custom INFI one by Rick Hinderer that was cut from a MOASH, but I'm not allowed to show pics or bring it out in public due to the risk of overexposure to awesome.
 
Mine is the Montblanc Meisterstuck rollerball.

Same here. Not so much for how it writes (which is nice by the way) but for how I acquired it. It was given to me as a gift by my staff at a previous job, a job and group of people I really enjoyed. And it came with a bottle of Glenlivet 18 yo :D.
 
I love playing with the Bali-Yo. I guess the actual writing instrument would be a Fisher cartridge, which just happens to be the most reliable pen I can find.
Being able to write in -40 degree weather can actually come in handy.
 
all I need is another hobby. I use to have some mont blanc pens with the fancy tips, never really caught my fancy so I gave them away. I gave my wife a waterman? pen. Really nice and really more expensive than it should be but she's had it for 13 years and it is still going strong.
 
I'm addicted to Michael's Fatboy pens. Usually its the only one I carry unless I steal some more free Marriott Pens. I'm up to a few hundred and I'm growing concerned that means I need professional help.

My go-to pen as well. Almost always work unless they're empty. That and being made of plastic kind of makes them the Glock of the pen world. :D

OT, some artistically gifted folks use them to draw some pretty cool pictures. Google 'Juan Francisco Casas' or 'biro art' for more.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with a pen fetish. :p

I do like the Rotring pens... have many of them. :)


Nice pens Foo. Do you have a 600 in their normal stainless nib and in the gold nib in the same profile, if so which do you enjoy writing with more?
 
I used to EDC a Hinderer Ti Kubaton/pen, but I didn't like the weight of it, and I HATE the Fisher universal Space Pen refills.

I replaced the Hinderer with this a couple months ago:

This is a Titanium Double Exposure Twister from Tom Anderson. It has a blue Trit vial (to match the anodizing) in the end that is visible through the holes near the crenelations, and uses the Parker Gel refills.

I REALLY enjoy using this pen every day, and am supremely confident that were I to have need of it as a tactical pen, it would do ALL the damage needed without any problem at all.

That is nice. I enjoy writing with parker ink much better then with Fisher, which tends to gunk up for me. If it takes the gen refills it likely also takes the regular ball point refills. Very cool pen.
