Well I use my pans for everything. Work. Note taking. Carbon paper and journaling. Just about everything. Sometimes even springy gold nibs for carbon paper if I'm feeling froggy. Even have some tactical ballpoints but have not needed to kill anyone with them yet.

Everything! I haven't used a ballpoint for years.
I have a cheap FP I use for work. In addition to that, I'm using a FP my dad gave me for my 16th birthday to keep a journal about becoming a father for the first time to pass on to sprog when he's older or to grandkids. Beyond that I use the others all the time for any writing that's required. I love giving people books as presents so one of my favourite uses for a FP is writing something in the inside cover to personalise the book to the recipient. |

Everything! I do not use ballpoints at all :-) Doodling, meeting notes, memos, grad school paper drafts, etc!

Everyday writing, journaling, cards and letters, and all the normal stuff like digging ear wax (fountain pens are especially useful) and cleaning fingernails.
They are really a multi-purpose tool you see!

I use 2 FP's at work 99% of time and at home 98% of time. Of my two work pens one is used for general use and the other is extra fine Japense nib used to edit documents etc.

Really got into using a fountain pen at work with sepia MB ink. ( We make country furniture and sell antiques, so it looks great ). So much so, I have just bought a Yard-O-Led fountain pen to use at home. Not looking back now.
We are still learning until the day we die. Let's spread the knowledge. |

Interesting responses. I've got a few nice pens and simply found myself not using them. Do now though!
