I'm giving fountain pens another shot, so here's the one I'm trying to use from Bastion. Trying to write more and maybe improve my handwriting. Unfortunately, I may have got either a defective pen or the ink is way too old!
But I also do have a ballpoint pen that I do carry with me. Very smooth and more of what I'm used to, in terms of writing.

County Comm does a variety of mystery packs on their website. I bought their “Summer Mega Big Daddy” pack for $99, $89 with a 10% discount from a previous purchase. The pack came with various cool items of EDC nature. But what I’m really excited for are these two pens! Just these alone are valued well above what I paid.
The black one is their Embassy Pen, done in Delrin with a honeycomb pattern. The clear one is their version of a bolt action pen done in Polycarbonate. The clips and screws are all grade 5 titanium. The bag and patches were part of the mystery bag too. The Morse code one is GITD!

Love CountyComm. I've never bought from them directly, since everything I usually want is sold out, but I have bought a few of their pieces on eBay.

Trying a few new pencils. Uni Kurotoga Advance and a Kurutoga Dive. Really good so far. Will have to see how they hold up with all the complications.

bumping this thread since it's been a minute! I've been using my rOtring 800 pencil as a daily driver everyday and loving it. I have a Montblanc Meisterstück pen that I love, but might replace it (gasp!) with a rOtring 600 pen since I love the size and feel of the 800 so much. That and I regularly bust them out on a daily basis at my new job, and I really would prefer the satisfaction of a click over having to twist.

Also, I use a small notepad to jot down notes all day everyday at work. I have ones that I love, but they are either too big or too small. Anyone have a recommendations for something that is about 4"x6" or 5"x7"?
My usual notebooks are either this or this which are too small. Or this which is slightly too large.

@chrisjohnnick I use the same MB as my biro, and a 149 is my daily used fountain pen.

I recently impulse-bought an “infinity pencil” with a metal tip that supposedly lasts a lot longer than a regular graphite pencil. I like th one I have, but the cap unscrews. I’d really like to find a heavy duty retractable one, or barring that a thicker body with an exposed tip, no cap. Who’s got such a thing or knows where to get it? Here’s the one I have:

@sabergirl I recently got my daughter an Otho Mechanical Pencil, the 2.0 version - would that be something that could fit your needs?
