Pens
« on: October 01, 2010, 01:35:58 PM »
I've been looking for a good pen. I want a good solid pen but really don't want a "tactical" pen. I really like the Countycomm Embassy pens but also like the looks of this....

http://www.coloradopen.com/product/Retro_1951_Tornado_Roller_Ball_Red/retro_1951_tornado_pens

Does anyone have any experience with this or something similar? Any other suggestions? I want a big heavy "man's" pen that is durable and rugged but also classy looking, and also somewhere around $50 or less.

Thanks guys!!!  :tu: :tu:

I've played with them, they are nice and hefty. I think you would be pretty happy with one.

Just curious... what's wrong with a Parker Jotter with a "space pen" refill?  At most 10 bucks combined.

The Tornado is much heavier.

Nothing wrong with it, but my birthday's coming up and I want my wife to spend more than 10 bucks on me.  :D :D :D

You know, I used to have the same issue with space pen refills, until I went with the fine tip--no more boogies!

The fine tip is more like the width of most mediums anyway...

Recently, Benner got me to thinking.

I began using the very nice Cross pens I've been given for graduations.  Really enjoy them.  Are they still considered a nice pen?

(I think they have an engraving service, you could get "Ducktapehero" engraved on it  :D)

I'm guessing a Inka Pen is too "gadgety"?

I'm a big fan of a nice Rotring Freeway.  I have one paired up with a Pilot G2 gel ink refill in fine - it's the pen I use to write all my contracts with at work.  Nice, solid, German-made aluminium pen.
