What's your favorite pen?
I just commented on a recent thread and I mentioned my passion for pens, particularly, Mont Blancs. I have quite a few and love them all, even a Mont Blanc highlighter. My favorite is my Sterling Silver MB fountain pen.
How about you guys? Fountain pen, ball point, roller ball, or just plain old Bic? Let me know. One we all have in common is that us Rolex owners are passionate about our passions.

I used to have a few Crosses in high school and college. I have a Montblanc cool blue starwalker as my only nice pen these days.

Pens
I like using fountain pens, but don't really have any expensive ones. That may change. I have my eye on a nice Waterman.

I know what you mean. I have a nice Waterman roller ball too. So many pens, so little notes

I carry one of these space pens everywhere.
I know it's not cool or fancy but it fits in my pants pocket and is handy to carry anywhere. In fact I have a theory. Since I started carrying my own pen I no longer use the public pen at the bank teller, gas station or post office. I didn't get sick this winter either (Knock wood). I'm no germ-o-phobe but I wonder if there is any correlation between health and not using the same pen as every other runny nosed person at the bank window. (Don't mean to hijack)

Mine does.
At work we received them as token "thank you's" for completing a productivity course. Some had pocket clips, some didn't.

You can buy the pocket clips for the Space Pens now. I have a black one that cost quite a bit of money and I keep it in my Palm Pilot Wallet with the pen clipped in the pen holder.
I also like this pen as it is so versatile. This is the one item though where I don't care enough to get the best. Terry Newton

I bought a space pen for my wife a few years ago. She loved it. It always rode in her purse. After a while she lost it so I bought another. You're right , nothing fancy but it does it's job well. dP

Mont Blanc Le Grand ballpoint and pencil.
I've got long fingers so the extra size of the Le Grand fits perfectly. Also very fond of Graf von Faber Castell's Perfect pencil. just beautiful. |

My favourite pen? It must have the following qualities.
1. As long as it writes....who cares. 2. As long as it's from the office stationary....who cares. 3. When I'm on my lunch break, I just leave it on my desk and never have to worry about anyone pinching it....so who cares. 4. End of the day, I still leave it lying on my desk.....and it's still there the next morning. So who cares!!

On a day-to-day basis, I rather like the Cross Townsend - the brass barrel gives it nice weight and balance:
To be perfectly candid, though, my cheapest pen is a Waterman Phileas, and the smooth ink flow more than makes up for its lack of heft:

Chris, I'll ascribe that crack to a corny sense of humour.

It just shows that your and Christopher are in your write minds.
My pen favorite? I still have a Mont Blanc rollerball around somewhere, but quit using it years ago. My favorite is whatever I can dig out from the bottom of my purse or kitchen drawer that isn't dried up. It's usually emblazoned with some pharmaceutical company mishmash.... |

Dunno about that, but we sure don't have anything to Bicker about.

Huh? I haven't the slightest inkling of what you're talking about.

I draw the line on ball points. My dailies are the Mont Blanc and Colibri rollers on the left. I like the Colibri because I can fit a modern Pilot G2 gel refill...I like the way the ink flows on those. When I'm on the move I have a number of Cross pens that fit nicely in a shirt or in the Day planner and are easier to replace if lost or taken.
I also have my Grandfathers every day Scheaffers fountains that he used in the 1940's.

Joe, I like how you say, "A wife...." As in, one of several!
Usually my pens come out of my purse with a strand of used dental floss tangled around 'em. Very impressive when signing tax papers at the accountant's office. |
