$50 for a pen? Man, that's expensive.. I hope it's made of solid gold for that kind of money..

I don't know man , the last nice pen I bought was a Cross and it was silver. Very nice pen by the way. I would definately start there.
Any more I buy Pilot G-2 pens because it's to expensive to buy these things. it is pimp though.

here is the exact one that I have.

Here is their site....

There is a little shop in the middle of our mall that sells these too , so you may have a local retailer and not even know it.

Agreed. My step-father got me a Parker Duofold as a high school graduation gift that I plan on using once I finish up this current graduate degree. Never used a fountain pen in my life, but this thing is just too cool to pass up.

meh, w/e it is, it has to be a rollerball. There's no point to a nice looking pen if it writes like a ****** 10 cent BIC one.

If you're buying something for a pen/pencil nut go here ---> Jetpens

Instead of one $50 pen, buy $50 worth of cheap pens. You'd have like hundreds of them.

This is more like a remembrance than efficiency

The best ones are Pilot ones that cost $3 and they come in 2 packs.

They are called Easy Touch. I find that expensive ones weigh a ton and just feel strange.

Actually you're right about the weight for most off the costly pens out there, but i've used parker before and they weigh like any other pens out there, not sure about cross, which i'll find out today

I can't live without my Space Pen. It goes everywhere with me.
