Pens....what is your favorite?

I use a pen all day long and I've owned and then sold every Hinderer pen I've owned....either too big and heavy or too small. However, I now use a Matthew Martin full ti pen and love it!! I've kicked around the idea of a damascus/ivory version but haven't pulled the trigger yet....yet!!
 
I carry the Fisher Space pen.
I used to carry the Futura model but after having to send 3 of them back for replacement they stop offering it.
Now I carry the Shuttle model. One with the black grip and one with the gold grid.
 
My Fisher Space Bullet hasn't let me down yet. In fact, this reminds me that I want to pick up another one...

I am fairly new to pens, but so far the Copper investigator by Hinderer and the Matt Martin knives, especially his click pen. Love the Carbon Giber.
 
Have had a Waterman roller ball, can't remember the exact model, for years and love it. Got a brushed stainless steel-looking jobby as a gift from Levenger, nice pen as well.
 
I prefer pens that you can write with. I have some nice looking Parker pens that are all satin stainless. Very pretty, but hard to use.
 
I have 3 Parker Jotters, and they are quite nice.


Retro51 is smooth and well balanced.


I really like Lamy Swift.


But my favorite right now is the Prometheus Writes Alpha Ti.



Still, as I'm partial to clickies, I would like to try a Tuffwriter.
 
Original Fischer Bullet Space Pen, (this pen's been around the world with me 4 times in the last 15 years) and the original Shrade Tactical Pen with the Fischer refill, (this is my go to court pen, in 7 years it's never been questioned)
 
I picked up a County Comm Embassy in Stainless off the forums, here. Love the weight, and stuck in the blue Fisher med. pen refill. Need to find a fine in the Fisher...

I had one of those Shrade tacticals, as well, and went through 3-4 Fisher cartridges over the last 4 years. Lost it, and was a bit sad. The Embassy fills in nicely.
 
I just found a new favorite as far as writing goes- very smooth and easy. Nothing special $3-4 at Office Depot. The Schneider Slider Rave XB. Nice soft rubber grip, too.
 
I have some nice fountain pens and could type for an hour. I'll say I like Delta, Conway Stewart, and Sailor. For an everyday, commonly-available pen, I'd vote for the Uniball Jetstream rolling ball pen, esp. in "bold." It's really smooth and does not smear at all. It's way better than anything else I have found by Uniball or anybody else (including the Pilot G-2).

Good writing,
Dave
 
Fisher Trekker, basically a Fisher Space pen that can be attached to a carabiner or lanyard:

I have had one for years and now I'm a bigger fan when the company repaired mine free of charge.
 
Really like my model 2 surefire. Overpriced but find the balance is nice and I love colicky pens. I work as a physiotherapist and have to do a lot of handwriting daily. I like a nice pen for my work as it just makes the writing experience more enjoyable.

I recently received a Karas Kustoms is brass that seems to be quite a nice pen as well. Still need to put it through the paces. It may be too heavy though.
 
I use a Zebra F301 every day at work. I like it a lot, but am going to switch it out for a Fisher M4 clicky.

If it wasn't for the refill, the Hinderer would never be put down. I love it. I have a soft spot for Jotters too though and love Schmidt refills for non gel. The Fat Boy is also one of my favorites.
