Just curious... what's wrong with a Parker Jotter with a "space pen" refill?  At most 10 bucks combined.
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
Best answer ever... so in that case, go for a Mont Blanc.  LOL

I bought two of the Retro 51 pens from Overstock (thanks for the link ari).

I'll let you know what I think of them when they arrive.

I really like this too. I do like Sharpies and this looks great.

That is really neat. Although I think I would not carry it for fear of losing something that spendy.

I decided on the black Embasy pen from County Comm. Or at least I THINK that's what the wife is getting me. I'm hoping she gets it engraved for me.

I received my Retro 51's yesterday, and I'm impressed.  The weight and balance is good, the tactile feel of the knurling and smooth retract is very nice.  The rollerballhas a nice smooth feel and doesn't seem to bleed like some.

I bought the Route 66 one for myself and the leather one for SWMBO, and they're both handsome.

I got my Embassy pen a couple of days ago. My wife got it engraved for me but had trouble finding an engraver. Anyway, this thing is nice. I got the aluminum black one instead of the stainless steel one and I'm glad. This is a pretty heavy pen, I can't even imagine how heavy the stainless one is. It's just a touch shorter than I thought it would be but actually that makes it just a bit more handy. I love this thing. I wanted a heavy duty pen but I didn't want one that looked like a dagger. The rounded edges will keep me from stabbing myself.

I would post pix but cannot get a decent pic. Here's the link of what they look like again for those who haven't seen it....

I'm not big on the "tactical" pens but I like the look of that.  Looks good and solid without looking like it was made to be anything other than a pen.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I'm glad you got one you like.  And yes, a pen that is too heavy can be a challenge to write with.  I once had a brass bullet pen (not to be confused with space pen) from brigadeqm many years ago - and I mean made from actual brass shells - took a Parker refill - and it was super heavy.  I loved the pen but it was overkill.  I like some of the Cross pens and have a small collection of those in various finishes.
