Pens might be a bit too niche here but I thought I would start a thread. I recently was looking to buy a nice pen and came across a few posts about EDC Pens. What particularly caught my eye was the Tactile Turn Titanium Bolt Action pen. Beautifully crafted with a life time warranty made in the USA. I liked it so much I bought one, arriving in a few days. Not cheap but will last a life time. Anyone else bought something similar?

While true that it may last a lifetime, so do cheap Parker rollerballs. I have several vintage ones from many many decades ago and they still work like new.
 
the last time I took a pen as a daily was on holiday, just in case... I don't tend to need one.. I can't think of a daily situ but then again I work from home and if I go to the office, I will have at least two laptops with me.
 
I keep two fountain pens on my office desk loaded up with ink.

Lamy Ideos which always has Diamine sapphire blue ink.

Then another pen, a Lamy Safari, either blue, green, red or purple, loaded with ink that matches the colour of the pen.

In my shack, I have a black Safari with black ink.
 
I find a lot of EDC kit these days is just overpriced collectors' fluff, including Leatherman's latest approach.
I have a Fisher spacepen because it's small, although there are better refills to use. But I also carry a simple pencil.
 
First time I’ve heard the term ‘everyday carry’ but I do enjoy a good pen. I’m just too tight to buy them myself as the prices can get silly. My face lights up if I get a new one for Christmas though :D A stainless steel Parker is my go to for meetings.
