Here are some of my smallest pens.

 

You know, I think those are too pretty to qualify as EDC, JBB!

Uh-oh. What does "EDC" stand for?

 

My grandfather told me once. It's a military term, or at least one that got its start in life in the military: Every Day Carry. Or, as gramps was fond of putting it, "shove in your pockets stuff!"

[jmkeuning]

Is there a benefit of the SS over the titanium? Other than cache and coolness? It the price difference purely a materials and workmanship issue? Does the titanium deliver a special benefit?

[JonSidneyB]

On titanium for an application like this for most people I think the Stainless Steel is every bit as good as the Titanium. Backpackers love titanium for its light weight yet is still strong. If you are going to be working in salt water or corrosive environments titanium is nice and their are items of titanium for just that reason.

 

Most people get titanium because they like it or it's coolness factor but their are exceptions who have a reason to use it.

[JonSidneyB]

A few of these have now gone out. I hope someone will do a review on one of these.

I recommend getting something like a McGizmo clip for these. A 20mm or a 25mm will do nicely. Many other removable clips will work but McGizmo clips are the best I have seen. I carry the McGizmo clip but there are other vendors that have those as well.

You have re-activated my EDC interest with this pen,clips etc.

Here is a thread where those who have the pen have been making comments. Hopefully some here will make comments soon.

Someone made some nice comments on the pen today.

 

Review

 

I am a little curious. I have been getting very nice comments about the pen but I seem to have not generated many comments from here.

 

Any idea why this seems to be off the radar here but is getting feedback elsewhere. This is a very nice forum and I thought it would be a good fit here.

 

Any one have any ideas?

 

Thanks

Jon

Not to be the buzzkill, because they're very cool, but you'll find that a lot more folks around here are more into the fountain pen side of things than ballpoints. I like the design idea, though!

Do the Fisher refills come in blue also? I like the idea of having a pen like this on my keychain. Thanks.
