Cool, they remind me of the Thundercats episode Return to Thundera; the plans for the Mutants Warbot are kept safe in a little gold tube much like those pens.

Prolly just the photos, but they look properly out of a christmas cracker Corny.

next time I see you, I'll show you, look and feel much better in person..

Corny's style in a nutshell. :)

I use these CountyComm Embassy Pens. Stops me biting, breaking, losing countless cheap ones.

I use Zebra F-701 for a similar reason.

Well not the biting, but it looks nice enough to remember to get it back and gets pinched less, plus it's smarter looking than a bic crystal and very robust. However, it's still cheap enough that it doesn't matter if it does go missing.

Sexy, I don't need a new pen as I'm very happy with my #everythingblack Fisher Space Pen but...

I may have to treat myself to one of these... 😋

Plausibly deniable kubotan right there. Sign me up!

Looking for a nice-ish pen for about £50

Used to have a space pen bullet and I liked the way it wrote, but was a little too small for my large hand. Sadly now lost to the ether.

Any recommends? If it's in Amazon even better ( I have gift card)

Any suggestions for a comfortable, not too heavy, inexpensive, but smart looking pen?

Something that writes like a paper mate, but looks and costs like a zebra 701 (although ideally more elegant).

Cheers

Embrace civilisation with open arms and buy a Uniball micro.

Banned.

What is wrong with uniballs?

They look fine, but I was after something a bit smarter.

Might go for the Zebra g301. Just wondering if there were any other options? . Happy to spend a bit more, but I don't want it to be something that someone worries about loosing.

... But I don't know what they are like yo write with. Where as the Zebra is a known quantity

I've been using a Lamy Joy for years, jumping from the Rotring Artpen because I do more writing than drawing these days. The Joy is cheap (under £20) and breaks in really quickly. If you haven't ever used a fountain pen, it's a great starter.

::million year long farting sound::

Acceptable nibs are either fibre or fountain (if writing), rotating balls can gtfo.

It's a small present to go with a note book.

Fountain pens are not a viable option.

Tbh even though I have a fucking amazing fountain pen I haven't used it since I last did exams and copious note writing. On balance its too much hassle.... although I did love filling it up.

When I want to use a smart pen I have a nice Cartier in a traditional / Mont Blanc style which I've added these wider Gel cartridges to:
Parker Quink Ballpoint Pen Gel Ink Refills, Medium Point - Blue, Pack of 2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002HHLY5E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rnKszbQ50QHF5

Writes beautifully.

However, I am always worried about it's safety.

I dropped and lost a £1,000 fountain pen (30th birthday gift), so I can appreciate that.

What were the other 29? #fnar

I've done a while nib compare for drawing purposes, I can post a piccy here if that helps?

Currently writing with a platinum carbon ink extra fine, not expensive and has a nice thin line.

Kuretake brush pens are also nice, the brush is much better than Micron brush pens.

Dredge alert.

Looking for recommendations for a relatively slimline black rollerball. Stylistically I love Kaweco Lilliputs which would be ideal, but for the fact that I need (read want) a very fine line. 0.3mm or smaller once bled. I normally use a Pilot G-Tec C4, but it's ugly af and I'm fed up of it.

Whatcha got for me?

Oh, also ideally a pocket-clip too.

Slayer of post-it notes, destroyer of notebook pages.

A little hard to get these days.

I use them for drawing, but for writing I need a much finer line. They are awesome though.
