This article focuses on ink flow, which I understand as important, but my favorite pen is my favorite because of something completely different - the body of the pen.
Personally, I do not like what I refer to as "fat" pens. My favorite pen is a slim model ball point made years ago by Paper Mate. They no longer make it. At its widest, it is not much bigger than a standard number 2 pencil (it's narrower than a Fisher Space Pen). All of the larger, "ergonomic" pens I have ever held remind me of the twice as thick pencils used in pre-school and kindergarten when I didn't have the fine motor skills to hold the smaller pencil - maybe okay back then, but not what I want now.
- hga 10y agoAbsolutely! Hmmm, I can get cheap ball point pens (round Bic Sticks), and I've been able to find narrow fountain pens, but I gather trying to find good ones in-between these extremes is a lost cause?
- dwe3000 10y agoI have looked in what I believe to be the step above the Bic pens - 5-10 USD range - and it has been harder and harder to find anything I like.
