Have a pen fetish?

[Henrythewound]

I have become extremely particular about what kind of pen I use. I have become partial to the ultra-fine point gel pens, many of which are only available from Japanese retailers. I recently put in an order to jetpens.com for $28 in pens! I was curious if anyone else has an office product fetish ~ie you greatly prefer one specific product over other, easily obtainable substitutes.

Fav pen:
Pilot HI-Tec-C

 

[Accipiter22]

YES

I love pilot v-ball 7's!

 

[imported_Trippin315]

Seems like a nice pen.

I bought a red Swingline stapler and enjoy using it very much.

The Hi-Tec-C has an extremely fine line, and doesn't smear even just after writing. I also believe the ink is ~waterproof

Not really, although I really only like to use my Sensa pen with the pressurized ink cartridges. The plasmium grip is real sweet too, everyone who holds it says it's the most comfortable pen they've ever used.

Quite similar to the one I have.

I must warn you, they run a bit more than $3 a pen. More like $50.

wow, maybe I dont want to try it, I might like it and have to buy one. I can see the conv. w/ my wife now.... Sorry honey, I was on my way to buy groceries but I picked up this pen instead

 

[middlehead]

I'm slightly particular, once I find a brand I like I'll stick with it as long as they produce it. But no, no way in hell would I order $30 in pens, and definitely not from another country.

we didn't need milk anyway right?



As a college student I have the obligatory excess of Pilot G2's around here somewhere. In terms of nice pens I have a Waterman pen that was a graduation gift that I like writing with. Needs a new ink cartridge though.

No self respecting student carries a pen

The Pilot Hi-Tec-C could easily double as a prison shenk as well. It's quite sharp

I really like Pilot's BP-S. For some reason my parents always used these when I was a kid, and I haven't found anything that writes as well. Gel ink is nice, but gel pens apparently only come on medium and bold.. but not fine.

I used these when I was in elementary school too and I'd always unscrew both ends and blow the ink out like a blowdart.

I like the Swingline because it doesn't bind up as much as the Bostons so I kept my old stapler and nobody better try to take it because it's my stapler.

*Swipes nakedfrog's Swingline and runs around the thread laughing maniacally.*

 

[gregshin]

yes i own 3 different montlanc pens....i had 4 but i sold one

 

[moshquerade]

your pen is out of ink.

 

[esun]

I prefer certain pens, mainly finer point pens. I use the pretty common Uniball Micro black pens, but I don't have a very strong preference. Pencil-wise, I have a Zebra mechanical that I really like, so I try hard not to lose it. I don't insult other people's pen preferences, though, so I wouldn't say I'm at fetish level.

gel pens come in extremely fine sizes, down to .25 mm I believe

Uh, I use post-its like no tomorrow. And my paperclip sculptures are pretty nice too.
