Well I am thinking of picking up some pens and want to see what you guys are using. Please show me your writing instruments.

Pelikan m400

Please remember that since I make them, I am continually cycling them but these are the currents favs....

Another penturner here, so I rotate between quite a few

(sorry, this had to be done, though I favor the pedestrian bullet-style space pen)

**tarheel1** · 09-19-2009, 07:42 AM

Well a member here made these for me and I am looking forward to them.

A Fisher space pen.

My focus in fountain pens is vintage German pens but that never stopped me from collecting some 300+ Sheaffers, Parkers, and Wahl-Eversharps.

Here are a few Pelikan 400s from 1951-1965. Lately I've been carrying a 1954 Pelikan 140 with a flexible oblique nib. My pens get used.

So apparently there is another type of PAD...

I just use a Pilot G-2 for everything. Buy a few packs of them (always blue) and just have them handy everywhere. Always a smooth write and I never have to worry about losing them.

As a senior math undergraduate, most of my writing is in pencil. For this, I use a Rotring 600, the greatest mechanical pencil ever created. I have a black and a silver.

Those are some beautiful pens, Nemo.

Some of my favorite writers are Pelikans.

I don't have any pictures right now, but my favorite pens are a green Parker 51 Aerometric and a Pelikan M600. I've got quite a few more pens.

Had to look this one up. Wow, that's one expensive pencil!

What kind of equipment is required to turn pens? A lathe?

**Bingo_Bob** · 09-24-2009, 08:22 AM

to be frankly honest:

I lose them, I chew then, and I throw them away.
When I get classy, I like the Skilcraft US government. They are free at the post office and are quite reliable and robustly built.

Rotring trio pen for carrying, 600 series trio pen on my desk (too heavy for a shirt since it rips the pocket corner), Yardoled propelling pencil, Swan Fountain pen (rarely used), thick black ball point for forms.
