I can go a whole month without holding either a pen or pencil, without even trying...

New thread: "When was the last time you wrote something?" :cry:

Only use one when meeting clients, I prefer scribbling notes in a pad rather than hiding behind a screen typing. Also nothing worse than people turning up with half chewed bic’s and a piece of cartridge paper.

What do you do with these pens? Write to your pen pals? Write cheques? Write down your client's fax number?

Mostly lend them to people who think a smartphone is the only thing they need to carry!! :D
I often fnd situations where someone needs to leave a note for someone else. It's not like you can stick your Galaxy Note under their wiper...

Nah, I use a lot of parking permits, vehicle logbooks, asset checks and similar things where you either have to write in details, or just sign/initial stuff. Not everything can be practically/afforably digitised.
 
I use a Cross something at work and at home. At uni, I tend to use a Lamy Safari, but I don't have to go in very often so they end up drying out, so then I'm back to using the Cross again. It's a great pen. My uncle got it for me on my 18th birthday. 16 years later, it's still great.
 
Ink pens? What year is it :p

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?

You've been watching this, haven't you?

 
I have a fisher space pen in my car. Never lets me down. Most pens kept in a car won’t work when you need them I have found. Must be the temp changes over time..

My OH collects fountain pens - mostly Japanese brands but also has a few benu's.

She also enjoys hand made pens (where the bodies are made from turned metal, wood or resin). I'll be taking her to the London pen show in October so she can meet some of the makers she follows / bought from.
