Hello all, I am in need of some pen advice. I have a brass hinderer investigator that I've carried daily for the past 3 years. It's a fine pen but I have a couple complaints about it. First it is a little small for my large hands and secondly the grooves are a little sharp. I am also not in love with the blotchy fisher refills. Those things make the pen uncomfortable for extended use. So I am looking at a pen upgrade. Here are some pens I am looking at.
While the Investigator is too small the Hinderer Extreme Duty is too big, and I don't like the way the end sticks out of the pocket.
I like the looks of the Prometheus writes pen and am really intrigued by the Mont Blanc Refills but its really expensive.
Fellhoelter ti-bolt. It seems well made and well regarded and fairly affordable for an all titanium pen but I am not sure about not having a low-rider clip. And even though its faster to use for a quick note, I prefer a cap on my pen.
Matthew Martin cap pen. This seems to be the one I am most interested in as its a little bigger than the investigator but not as big as the E.D. Its also not nearly as expensive as the prometheus writes. Plus it gives me some options to use parker refills. My question is, is it big enough to justify spending the extra money. I have seen the martin and investigator comparison shots with caps on, but does anyone have a picture of them next to each other with the caps screwed on the back so I can see the difference of in hand writing length?
Also if you have any advice about he pens listed above or another recommendation please feel free to chime in.
Thanks.
