This thread has made all of my previous writing feel inadequate. On that note, I haven't looked through all of the suggestions yet, but I'm feeling the Embassy. It's a similar look to a knife I used to own and loved, but not enough to not lose it. I'm going to buy myself a new pen though, now that I've read this thread. Thanks OP!

Either one of these. Definately.

You must have a lot of money to spend $150-$200 on a single pen...

I'll stick with the cheap pens I just steal from random counters and get from businesses.

My favorite pen right now is the Pilot v5 RT. It's made in Japan. It's a roller ball not a ball point so the ink is smooth and very fluid.

The ink feeder is clear so you can see how much ink you have left. Refills are cheap.

The Rite In The Rain pen is considerably cheaper and can still stab someone in the jugular.

I hear the Embassy pen is pretty good:

Lower than your price range though.

I've bought a couple of the watchstraps from this company. Definitely considering buying one of these pens now. Didn't even know they had these

Whatever ink delivery mechanism you desire. Get it custom if you don't see exactly what you want in the listings.

:thumbsup:

Received a pair of these pens for the holidays and have been very pleased with them.

I want a new pen - one that won't make me sick,
One that won't make me crash my car, or make me feel three feet thick.
I want a new pen - one that won't hurt my head,
One that won't make my mouth too dry, or make my eyes too red.

One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do.
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you, when I'm alone with you.

I want a new pen - one that won't spill.
One that don't cost too much, or come in a pill.
I want a new pen - one that won't go away,
One that won't keep me up all night, one that won't make me sleep all day.
One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do ...
I'm alone with you, baby.

I want a new pen - one that does what it should,
One that won't make me feel too bad,
One that won't make me feel too good.
I want a new pen - one with no doubt,
One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do. ...
I'm alone with you, I'm alone with you, yeah.

Try http://paradisepen.com I typically like either Waterman or Parker fountain pens as I can't afford the more pricy montblancs.

Hmmm, some nice ones there.

Look no further!

I don't think I am smart enough to handle that pen.

Not bad; the first one looks thick enough. Pretty cool.

i have a maratac watch that is great. They have some very neat things.

 

[KeithTalent]

So I finally decided upon a pen rom Conklin; American made by an American company. It's just a ball point, but it had the best combination of weight, looks, and smooth wwriting (along with price as t cost ~$110):

I tried to join TFNN to talk to the custom pen guy, but apparently it's some sort of weird secret society that does not allow people in, so they would not let me join.

Anyway, so far I'm liking it quite a bit; thanks for all of the suggestions!

[mcveigh]

nice!!
how about some more info on it?

 

[KeithTalent]

Well this is the website/pen: http://www.conklinpens.com/product/herringbone3.html

Has a sweet stamp/engraving of the company logo on the top. Very solid feel and writes well, plus the orange part is kind of trippy when you turn it. I had 3 pens on the short list, but this one had the perfect combination of everything.

Considered getting the rollerball, but it was a bit too long; the ball point was just the right length.

Anyway, not that exciting, but thought I should post what I finally ended up going with.

Nice pen, but orange? Why an orange pen?

[KeithTalent]

Nice pen, but orange? Why an orange pen?

I like orange. If I had a favourite colour, orange would come close to being that colour. Not sure why; I have all kinds of orange running gear and stuff, just one of those things I guess. :hmm:

Plus this way I'll always know it's mine since everyone else hates orange.

Orange is awesome! We need more orange things.

Trying to talk my wife into orange countertops when we redo the kitchen but she isn't going for it.

 

[AstroManLuca]

$110.

For a pen.

A ballpoint pen.

That is orange.

<facepalm>
