Got this for $25 from my countries retailer.

Caran d ache Alchemix

I was given this pen by a student a few years ago at a summer camp I was counselling for. The kid and his friends were the sweetest and most clever kids there. But the pen he gave me was even more impressive. Has the smoothest, quick drying, nice black ink I've experienced, would love to stock up. Any help?

Blacked out Zebra Sarasa Grand from the limited edition Monochrome series

It's really vibrant, writes well, and it's lasted over two years. I'm gonna Google it and hope theres one in black because that is the color I normally use. Anyways just wanted to say this pen is pretty nice :D

Juggled picking one up for the US current mark-up, but I'm glad I didn't. Kinokuniya USA has these in stock on their website, in Champagne. Finally pulled the trigger for $44.14 shipped. Haven't tried it out just yet. It's much smaller in person than I thought 🤔.

Does anyone else love the Schneider Slider Memo XB pens? My Dir. of Engineering turned me on to them 15 years ago and I have been using them ever since.

It’s not too heavy, writes just like my other one. 10/10

After a year of trying different pens here is my (current) lineup of pens for work. Plus a Milwaukee permanent marker.

The power tank and jetstream stick are probably my favorite since they're really the muscles of the operation. Just wish the powertank could be capped and the jetstream refill once done will probably be blue to stand out more on forms.

then the 207 plus & Milwaukee as essentially label writers with the archival ink of the pen & the milwaukee tips lasting way longer than the sharpies while being able to handle dirty surfaces. Been on the hunt for a zento signature, though, so i can swap out the ink for the 207 plus to complete my collection.

The jetstream prime is a really satisfying writing experience even if I very rarely have a need for nicer writing... if I ever get a desk job that would be my go to for sure.

Got this out of the safe after being locked away for years. Only ever been used a few times. Just wondering how this sort of Dunhill pen is viewed?

Y'all ever run into something that is scientifically not genetics (or whatever, I'm not a scientist of any sort) but can't be explained in any other way? I grew up mostly with my mom and she has no clutter. My dad is more of a packrat and I did 100% inherit his brain via genetics (?) and we've always been closer despite physical distance. I've had some form of drawer full of pens since childhood (this is my adult version). When I was still a kid, my dad, mom, brother, and I were cleaning out one of his several storage units and I opened a desk drawer... All pens. I'd never seen it before, he'd never told me he also had a pen collection, I'd never seen someone else with a drawer full of pens. It was like discovering some hidden understanding about both of us. It was real life magic, even now that I'm 41.

Found a forever mechanical pencil 😊
