    Default What do you use to carry your daily pen and storage?

    My collection is growing massively and I was wondering what everyone uses to carry their daily carry pen with and when they are stored what do they use.

    I have a pen wrap for my daily carries, and a couple three pen leather pen holders.

    For my storage see the thread here: Pen Storage

    I too use a pen wrap for my daily carry pens. I'm working on making a storage box for those not in use.

    My daily carry is my shirt pocket.

    I stopped storing my pens a few months ago. Now they (about 100+) are in 1, 4 and 8 pen stands on my desk. Nib up - the pen is inked. Nib down - the pen is resting. Nib to the right (on horizontal stands) - the pen is inked. Nib to the left - the pen is resting. I also have 3 pen cups to store the most inexpensive pens and nib holders. Which pen cup the pen is in tells me if it is inked or resting.

    I like the idea of a pen stand, I'm considering making one myself, are you using a specific brand or type?

    I bought most of my pen stands from ISellPens. Todd was fire selling them (or so it seemed) a few months ago. I bought about a dozen of them in various sizes, mostly under $5. I just checked and the only stands I see on sale are the vertical and horizontal single stands. The single horizontal is a very nice stand. The vertical one tends to tip over. The two pieces of the stand sort of snap together. The final stand with a pen is very tipsy. I am thinking of gluing the two pieces together.

    My remaining stands are various models of 8 acrylic pen stands I bought on eBay after Todd's sale ended. I paid under $10 each, not including S&H. If you go this route, bide your time. The same stand that is starting today at $20+ will be available sooner or later at under $10.

    I have two, two pen leather pouches that my wife helped me make. I use them for traveling when I need to go light.

    Here's mine:

    It was made by FPN and FPGeek user Trillium. There are 8 slots, two are larger and can hold a crescent filler if need be (I've had my Mark Twain in there before. It's like a really thick micro-suede. The think has been in and out of my bag (Mission Workshop's The Shed, great bag btw...) every day for as long as I've had it. Never had an issue all around. I am fully confident that this thing will survive a war.

    Oops, when they are not in use, I have an old side table that I converted into a pen/pen equipment storage unit. I keep all my inks, ink samples, repair supplies, and pens that are getting some rest in there. I'll add a pic of it once I clean it up a bit.

    I've a Venlo 5 pen case, it looks like this. It is very nice but not worth retail.

    I use my shirt pocket for my 2 EDCs. However, since I'm considering the benefits of carrying 3 pens I believe I'll have to start looking for a pen case.

    I usually use a Montblanc single zip case as I tend to take one pen out with me. However, lately I've been looking at getting one of the old MB Bohème three pen zip cases. I prefer the zippered cases over the flap-over cases because I like the extra security of the zipper and the looks of the case remind me of vintage leather cases that were sold with pen & pencil sets by brands like Pelikan and Parker.

    For long term storage I have a Delta Markiaro 40 pen case that holds most all of my pens except for the very high-end ones which I keep in their original cases. I'm also looking at getting one of the Markiaro 12 pen cases for next year.

    For my daily carry I have a three pen pouch that came with some vintage pens. At the time I only wanted the pens, but now I use the pouch every working day. But I am thinking of upgrading to a four pen pouch. As for storage I use a wrap that was made for paint brushes, but works great for pens. That's all I need for my less than twenty pens. Ask me again in a few years.

    My zippered folio is made by Libelle and holds 6 pens on each side in elastic loops. It has been very durable.

    For carrying, a rather robust leather two pen wallet in an unappealing shade of blue. This was a mistake as it's far too bulky for my needs (I don't do large pens). Something slimmer is on its way.

    For storage, a 36 slot Copic marker wallet like this:



    and a batch of those velveteen pen sheaths. A good inexpensive solution for me.
