Might try one of these. I get frustrated with pens that don't write properly.

Me too... I just realised I was writing with a crap one and threw it out. Life is too short to be using second class stationary. I replaced it with some zebras

The only problem with little pens is they come in multipacks. This lot should last me ten years

Just done a search on Zebra pens. Like the look of the telescopic ones

I got a few to try and they're all really good value so far. The F301 full size and compact are both fab and the G301 writes really well. Also have the M301 pencil version which is good. I know the more expensive 701 is really popular, probably for good reason.

For tiny weeny wallet carry etc, the T3/TS3 are also excellent. Haven't found one I didn't like yet out of the stainless steel range. If you're a UK buyer, I recommend the service at http://www.cultpens.com/acatalog/Zebra_Stainless_Steel.html

I put the F301 compact on my keyring,and I've been completely happy with it.My only little petty gripe is that I wish the pocket clip could detach for keyring use.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #37 on:** March 16, 2009, 01:28:14 AM

I find the 301's pocket clips get bent out of shape extremely easily.

Good advice! I used to use fountain pens and first it started with a $5 and eventually lead to me buying a $200 one. I was considering paying $700 for a Mont Blanc meisterstuck until I moved on to a cheaper hobby...

they're probably made from recycled twin towers steel that the American government was so quick to auction off to other countries for recycling...

I never actually dry up sharpies, I always end up wearing off the tip. I use them to write an anything. Wood, brick, metal, plastic, etc...

Pen, pencil and a sharpie. Never leave home without one, but I sometimes return missing one, people, "borrowing" my stuff...

I see Amazon.com have the steel Sharpie in stock but anyone know of a UK supplier?

Why not team up with other UK members and group buy it? I'm sure that would eat the shipping charges...

Good idea. If there's enough interest I'm certainly game

I'll start a thread in the trade section.

Did somebody say group-buy?

Put me down for two please (will also follow-up in the trade forum post).

Whoey · **Reply #57 on:** April 01, 2009, 12:36:15 PM

Just ran through a mock purchase and they don't deliver to Spain... So perhaps an intermediary will be required in the US or Canada? If so, perhaps a Euro group buy will be a good idea too...

I was going to say that might be a problem. We always have to buy through amazon.co.uk. It also means we can never buy some of the cheap deals on SAKs etc either.

Update. I've been looking around for one of these Stainless Sharpies. I couldn't find one in any stores near me, well I looked at Amazon.com and it's not getting good reviews. Besides the 1st "preview review" the other 2 are decidedly negative. This disappoints me. I may hold off on buying one of these now.

Look for yourself at the reviews.
