@popvulture they do, good value for their price

The black thing here is a Rofmia dyneema organizer designed to fit in the top interior pocket of their Daypack. It’s designed to accordion out so that it is compact by default but able to expand. It has stretch pockets on both sides of the central cavity for organization. If it’s not a pen, it winds up in one of the three side pockets. My Ghurka business card case and pens like the Lamy and Hobonichi tri-color pictured here (and highlighters, refills, and even a Tide stick) live here. This is compact and I can shift items quickly if I need to for example use a higher capacity bag for a single bag overnight trip.

Love that organizer. I have a Peak Design tech pouch that I use in almost the same way. Ironically, it carries no tech.

@chrisjohnnick great thread. Here are some of my most used items. Pretty straight forward…love Blackwing stuff and always keep notes in a Field Notes journal of some type. And Sumo erasers are the bomb!

[Oaktavia]

@endo I have one too!

[Tago Mago]

Thanks @chrisjohnnick for starting a thread I never knew I needed. I still take notes in a journal, so I may have to buy myself a nice pen instead of going through an endless supply of branded merch from my employer

@endo that Legendar looks pretty awesome.

Nice work starting this thread @chrisjohnnick and perfect timing. I’ve been looking at getting a nice pen.

@jaliskoe has a cool looking Wingback that has my attention. Looks like @Danimal506 has a Tactile Turn bolt action…these two are at the top of my list.

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle with a Damascus bolt lever too

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 nice!!
What size and metal are yours??

Gold Parker 61, inherited from my maternal grand dad - he had a rather flamboyant style. People would vie to be in his orbit, and I adored him........

yeah, pretty legen... wait for it...dary

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle Mine is stainless steel. And the regular size. Not long or short. I can’t remember what the exact name or size is.

Being SS, it’s a bit heavy, but kinda like with Iron Heart, once I got used to its heft, nothing was ever the same. I’d go titanium if I were to buy another one, personally.

@mclaincausey love the Ghurka gear

[Anesthetist]

@endo I gave one to my wife and my work wife and they love them.

But ….don't tell my wife or work wife that they got the same pen.

[Anesthetist]

Sorry for blowing this thread up.
Hidetoshi Nakayama w homemade sheath & IronHeart pull

Way too heavy and cumbersome to be much more than a desk pen but it’s definitely insanely fun to play with.

Ordered that rOtring 800, just arrived today. Already in love! Such a practical feature having it be able to retract, makes me wonder how I went so long with the 600 without getting this one. By the way, I did manage to bend the 600 tip back in place (mostly). This is my 2nd 600 (or maybe 3rd?), and have really only used this one for home office use. Excited to have one that I can feel comfortable using as an EDC now!

Here's a pic of them all side by side. The 3-in-1 doesn't look much larger in the pic, but weight-wise and size-wise wise it feels HUGE in the hand. Plus it doesn't have an eraser, which renders it useless as a practical pencil.

LOL I'm here for it!

Just another place for y'all to shine, everyone!

[chrisjohnnick]

@Anesthetist I think I need one of those color wheel rotring's in my collection. Is it just a pen, black/blue/red?
