I can't really recommend a desk pen for your father because I have no idea what's available today.
For you, I would recommend the Lamy Studio. isell pens has the stainless model on sale now for $49. The Studio has the same nib as the Safari but has a heavier metal body. The stainless version has a rubberized grip as well. The nibs are interchangeable, too. So if you buy an F or M and don't like it, you can swap for the other.

I really like heavy pens (metal). |
