I've picked my dear Delta Dolce Vita Medium, who sat inked (Delta blue cartridge) from Xmas in my desk stand, and bringed to work today.

It was a hit! A pen that does not pass unobserved, I must say!

Almost every day I've clipped to my shirt collar or pocket a black Pilot knight. I feel more sane carrying around work each day a pen that cost me less than $50. The clip looks nice and holds firm. Just wish they made it with a finer nib, then it's all I would carry. I use a green colored ink that stands out from the usual blue or black, for doing marking on students work.

Safely inside my sportscoat pocket, ... a Lamy 2000 with extra fine nib for writing in my pocket 3x5 inch leather bound moleskine-like notebook. I use noodlers waterpoof ink Its perfect for getting lots of thoughts into a small pocket notebook, and if I drop my notebook in a puddle my writing is safe.

 

At home (it's my most expensive pen) I'm doing creative writing with a previously owned pelikan 800 in a "envirotech" (spiral bound, 3 hole perf pages) notebook made by Ampad with 20lb 100% recycled paper.

 

I *was* carrying an old Esterbrook J with 2550 nib I got as a gift. Being my first *real* fountain pen I loved it! But then one day at work I uncapped it to find ink all over the grip and nib. And then with uncanny timing my co-worker asked to borrow my pen in a meeting. I got the chance to make a good first impression for fountain pens on my co-worker.. .and the Estie blew it. And I couldn't write my meeting notes, until after the break when I could clean up the pen at the washroom. From now on, I plan on carrying fountain pens that have less risk of leaking ink everywhere.
