The pen and pencil thread

[enki_ck]

I've been thinking about what my most used EDC items are and came to the conclusion that that are my pens. Yes, in this modern, digital day and age I still write a lot by hand, every day. After a lot of pens I've tried I finally have a working setup that hasn't changed in years now. My most used is the Parker Vector SS rollerball. I've been using it for over 5 years now and have never had anything that writes so smoothly. It lives in my pencil case together with a Parker Classic mechanical pencil (great pencil, a bit slimmer than a Jotter and it never clogs, breaks leds), a Lamy Linea ballpoint (for writing on papers that the rollerball doesn't do so well, only downside, those M16 refills are expensive and hard to get around here), an old SS multipen (red, blue, green and black - I don't know the maker but it's a solid pen), a Staedtler permanent marker and an Uniball Signo red pen for correcting papers. That's my work pens. For regular EDC I have a Zebra telescopic pen clipped to my pocket and a Zebra T3 inside my wallet just in case.

A lot of pens, ha? (that's not counting the ones in my EDC organizer, I'll get to that later, with pics)

Well what are your most used or favorite pens? Pictures would be welcome.

Ive carried 1 pen for a few years... Its a stainless steel benchmade. I lose pens, but not this one (heavy) and it clips to my pocket as secure as a knife with clip.

I do a lot of writing out doors and in doors, I just carry a Pilot G-knock. Simple, cheap and gets the job done.

Nice idea... Maybe you should add notebook... Not everyone carry Moleskine or Rite In Rain... And PICS

While not my favorite pen, it's the one I always have on me if I'm wearing a belt; I have an Inka pen attached to my Victorinox belt hanger; that, in conjunction with a homemade writing pad leaves me set for any writing and jotting needs.

My writing pad is just a single piece of printer paper folded over several times, stapled, and with the edges barely trimmed so as to get individual leafs.

My pen EDC consists of :

1 circa 1980 Cross ballpoint (engraved)
2 circa 1987 Cross ballpoint (engraved)
3 Victorinox SAK pen

The first 2 were gifts.  For years I just kept them "for nice".  After my father died, I decided they were designed to be used, and by God I was going to enjoy using them

Well we want to see haw did you fold and cut that paper.... 

Are the edges aligned, did you use one,two or more staples, which size... A lot of things to see on folded paper!!

Big fan of Zebra, and have several of their stainless steel ones knocking around. In my mini EDC organiser I tend to keep a black Space Pen.

My "good" pen is a Waterman rollerball which was given to me as a present when I started university - I passed all my exams using it so I think it's magic

Please loan that one to me...

With pens and lighters I don't tend to carry good stuff - too much maintenance and chance of loss or damage. I've normally just got a cheapo pen of sorts - whatever happens to be kicking around really. I do have others in place as back up though:

Inka Pen on Gadget Ring
Fisher Stowaway in Wallet
Rite-In-The-Rain pen in Mini EDC Organiser
Victorinox Manager on car keys
True Utility Tele-pen in Micro Tool Tin

These aren't carried all the time, but I do like to have at least one of these on hand (or close by) as a reserve option

I use a black fisher bullet space pen and carry it often.  It's the best value for the $ and still writes after many years.

My benchmade steel pen uses a space pen cartridge also. If my son didnt keep borrowing it to draw it would probably last years too.

- zebra 701 modded w/fisher reffil
- zebra 701 modded w/pencil 0,5
- sharpie ss marker
