I’m lamenting the fact that this scenario means I’ve lost all my fountain pens, but I’d go with #5 in a .38
3's grip looks the most comfy

When I was a server, I only used Number 3, but it has to be the 0.5 size. 0.7 still smears too much.

Zebra F301
helloworld55@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Definitely this one. Simple design and the fine point is so smooth to write with
SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Was looking for this. I love my pink barrel F-301’s.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Scrolled far too long to find even a mention of Zebra. Uniball is the intro to good pens, but Zebra is where you land.
jewbies@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
The only option. I’m 43 and still using the one from middle school.

How did you not manage to lose that
BlueLineBae@midwest.social 1 year ago
My husband works at an architecture firm. They exclusively use #2 in 3 different colors. My husband has gotten in the habit of putting a few in his pocket during the day while he works and emptying his pockets when he gets home. We have WAY TOO MANY PENS!!! I’ve been bagging them up and giving them away!! They are nice pens tho… very good for drafting/drawing/etc. I just don’t need 300 of them. Beware that the blue ones tend to explode the most.
skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I had a pen like that when I was very young, had to be maybe in the 5th grade. It exploded on me because I chewed on the end of it while thinking. Parts of my homework desk remained blue until I graduated high school, I’m lucky my teeth didn’t also.
GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Oh my god, the explosions with the black ones are horrible, because you don’t realize until you start to grip and the ink just coats your fingers. I love them, but the horror will live forever in my mind.
Kichae@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Probably 2, 6, or 7. I’ve always loved the V5/V7, but the liquid ink is messy, a bic is a classic for a reason, and the PaperMate flair has been my go-to felt-tip for a long time now. Though, the ultra-fine version is much better for writing than the medium one.
sloppychops@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
2, please.
eric5949@lemmy.world 1 year ago
G2 forever.
Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I was always fond of how the 2 pen scratches the paper while writing.
KeraKali@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Definitely 5, gimme that gel pen every time
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
CptEnder@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I used to use these a lot before I discovered micro tipped pens, these are great ball point though.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I like that they mark on metal. And the tip is great for tracing rough edges and rulers.
TheFrogThatFlies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And respective mechanical pencil!
HarmBasket@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The apex pen.
i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
If I had to choose one of these, 4. (I can’t see a whole lot of detail in the image. Looks like a Uniball.)
But my preference is my Uniball Signo click pen, with micro tip. Love that precision. No cap for me to lose. And I will lose it.
Veedem@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I use 3 at work now after someone gave me one. It’s an awesome pen.
Condiment2085@lemm.ee 1 year ago
My favorite I always get more of these when we run out
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 year ago
Yeah people here are overlooking the Sharpie pen, it’s quite nice.
Veedem@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve been a Pilot G2 guy until I was given this Sharpie.
EvilBit@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If 6 is the Papermate felt tip, then that one. I like the static tip. Otherwise, probably the upstart Sharpie.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Number 7 100%
FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
I used to live quite near to one of the bic factories in France. Ahhhh I’m obsessed with Bic pens.
anhkagi@jlai.lu 1 year ago
if it’s a true bic. knockoffs might not work very well.
blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
1 but micro, not fine.
extinctkimono@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Only answer for left handers!
podperson@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Clear winner.
Godort@lemm.ee 1 year ago
This is the correct answer
Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 1 year ago
5
amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Only valid answer
Devadander@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Always
Burninator05@lemmy.world 1 year ago
With a .07 ball. I don’t tolerate .05 or .1 heretics in my G2 superiority worldview.
pewpew@feddit.it 1 year ago
I’d pick 7 if it’s a Bic, but it’s definitely n.3 because of the ergonomics
capt_wolf@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Uniball Signo 207
Writes easy and the ink is bold and dries fast. Comfortable enough for having to write 7 pages of client notes every night, even with my arthritic hands.
JaymesRS@literature.cafe 1 year ago
This is the true answer. The 207/207+ ink is the greatest. The sharpie pens are close though, especially with the weight of the metal barrel.
