This here is the Cross Tech 2 Ballpoint Pen in Satin Black.
It was a Christmas gift from Mrs Sabretache and has now become my EDC pen. I have been a bit apprehensive about carrying it as i am always losing pens, and am yet to hold on to one for any prolonged period of time. I will be listing a photo of this pen every day for the next 30 days for a nice shiny new merit badge. (provided i don't lose it)
Build quality
It has a solid metal casing with a twist tip opening. The rubber tip is a stylus that unscrews from the casing, so its great for the kind of chaps and chapess's who enjoy working on the tablet or phone amd moves across the screen incredibly smoothly. The satin black finish is very hard wearing but i would recommend a case if you are worried about damaging it in the same pocket as your keys.
Writing quality
I love how this pen writes. The black ink flows very smoothly and i have not had any problems with this pen and i have had it 2 years. I would highly reccomend if you want a good quality pen that doesn't cost the earth These pens retail around £26 so it wont break the bank.

So a 30 Day pen challenge then :cheers:
Excellent 8) looks a very fine pen to use for this as well :like: :like:
I will edit the title if that is OK to reflect that it is a challenge :cheers: Just let me know if you want it changed back though :salute:

Thanks poncho much appreciated. Heres a photo of the tech 2 disassembled, there are few moving parts and little to go wrong.

But if none of them are a "general EDC notebook discussion" kind of thread, which I understand is what you're thinking of, then feel very free to make one. :cheers:

Though they are of different colors, under the lighting, they blend rather well together! Nice photo! :tu:

Thanks for the positive comments everyone. I haven't lost the pen yet which is quite frankly amazing in itself. I thought i had lost it yesterday and was pretty smurfed off about it. But i had temporarily sacrificed it to the sofa gods. And in their grace and mercy they saw fit to return it to me.

That was lucky CS :tu: :like:
