What Pens Do You Carry With You?

[thagbert]

What Pens Do You Carry With You? Pocket, purse, or carry case? And why those pens?

Of course I used the plural because I assume everybody is like me and has never carried only one pen.

I carry a Pliot Prera F and TWSBI Diamond Mini M.

Both small pens that fit in my shirt pocket comfortably.

Today just a Lamy Safari in my shirt pocket and a Jinhao Pocket Rocket in my front pants pocket...I think they both have Noodlers Lexington Grey in them. I have more in my back pack, but I only use those if I get bored waiting on hold for someone..usually just doodling.

Pelikan 400 ( reliable, nice nib), OMAS Paragon (can't resist), Parker Vacumatic (holds a lot of ink and doesn't bleed much because the nib is relatively dry).

Too many? I try to keep just three going but then more sneak in. :\

Today my leather holder had:
Pelikan 400NN Tortoise
Pelikan 400 Tortoise
MB 144

And my other pen wrap had:
Parson's Essential (stub)
Parker Vacumatic (stub)
Matador 334 1/2

Way too many, need to make myself let a few run dry.

We seem to have quite similar tastes! I've always wanted a vintage mb 142 or 144...you are so lucky!

For the last few weeks:

- Pelikan M400 M with Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black ink - Main writing instrument, reliable and just at the right size/weight ratio
- TWSBI mini B with J. Herbin Lie de Thé ink - Mainly used as a list/outline pen
- Pilot Prera MI with Edelstein Mandarin ink - My headline/highlight pen

i keep a 24 case with me at my desk that goes into my brief case if I'm out of the office so I sort of carry 24 depending on how you define carry. However, when my briefcase is not with me, say I'm out to lunch or at a meeting away from the office or shopping, then there are a Pilot Metropolitan and Twsbi Mini in my shirt pocket.

Today? 4 pen leather pouch with a black parker duofold centennial with a #88 medium oblique nib, a parker 180 flighter with a m/xf nib, a cedar blue Parker 51 with a 1.4 mm Minuskin stub and an Italix parson's essential with a crisp oblique italic nib.

Will if you ever find a MB 144 from the 50s JUMP on it. A great, great pen!

Sometimes I have 14 pens with me in backpack -- 12 in a leather case, 2 in a wallet/clutch bag. The two in the clutch are "work" pens and they're both Pilot 78Gs.

I constantly watch the auctions for the 142s, because they are slightly cheaper....I refuse to spend over $200...and the 142 can be found every once in a while in my price range.

I very seldom carry more than one pen and almost never ever have I carried more than two.

Today it is the Terra Cotta GvFC Intuition.
