Fisher's satin finished military clicker with space pen insert. Along with a Rite in the Rain pad. Served me well for a many a deployments.
For those of us who love to write, pix on the way?
A friend picked up a Pilot Prera <M> for me while in Japan — I'm absolutely loving this thing. Still getting the hang of using the converter (piston converter), but the Pilot Iroshizuku ink is great! Wish I could get a slightly more generous ink flow though. The width of the pen is perfect, but a slightly darker line... maybe I'll just try a darker ink next. Regardless, this pen is a great introduction to the world of Pen-Fi (because I need more money-draining interests)!

While it’s true that your grandparents were skilled in the lost art of writing in cursive, your grandparents probably were, too.

I've had my EF Lamy 2000 for a week or two now and I'm a little disappointed in it. I find my EF Lamy Safari waaaay nicer to write with. I find the 2000 doesn't put ink down on certain strokes and is a little scratchy. The pen was checked by gouletpens.com (great guys and service) before being shipped to me, so I'm left here thinking it's just me. I'm guessing that it might be because I didn't clean the 2000 properly before filling it, or I'm just not used to writing with it.

Definitely clean it. Out of the factory there's usually a little blue residue from their testing. Likewise gouletpens would have dipped and tested it (hopefully).
