Do you have a favorite writing pen???
I like a good writing ink pen. I need an extra fine tip for logging guns in and out and have settled on the Pilot Precise V5rt. They work well and cost around $30.00 per dozen. What do you guys use??

Well.....where to begin.........I guess at the pencil sharpener, next to the cast iron radiant heater, in about the second grade. Then there was my grandmother teaching me to write my name in cursive, during church sermons.
Then there were the first BIC pens and Shaffer cartridge fountain pens.
As an engineering freshman I discovered the first Pentel 0.5mm single lead click pencil, along with the Pentel Roller-Ball pen. Later Pentel made multi-lead pencils with an eraser......and 0.7mm leads.
Nowadays it seems that gel pens have taken over.......with the Pilot G2 1.0mm blue being my go-to for everyday use.
I'll admit that a few years back I treated myself.......to a Montblanc LeGrand fountain pen and rollerball.
Yep....I've always liked good writing instruments.

Free pens are like free ball caps - worth what you paid. They work, kinda. Most of the time. I keep a few in my vehicle so I can eventually find one that works and I can toss 'em if they don't. (Take note of the smashed pens you see in parking lots everywhere, they're all cheap/freebies.)
The dividing line between a crap pen and a decent one is if it's refillable. If it's designed as a throwaway, you may as well do that. But if they make them to last indefinitely, they're worth keeping.

I am left handed and many pens drag due to the way I hold my pen. About 15 years ago my secretary gave me a
Uniball Jetstream to try. No drag, no smudge etc. As I had to sign or initial documents several times a day, this was the first pen that really worked for me.
Every year two boxes of these were purchased for my use. (Folks used to swipe them once in a while) Since I retired, I buy them as I need them.
The inky pinkie. #2 has the same issue. I will let her know the brand you use.

I have a Cross pen and pencil set I got after 15 years at work. Still have it, using my 4th refill in the pen, 28 years and counting. The pencil sits in my desk drawer, like new.
