Been carrying a stone washed Karas bolt around.

I bought a few carry pens but I didn’t like two of them, the Grafton and Tactile Turn, so I just carried the bolt. Recently though I’ve looked to expand my selection and to mess around with different replaceable cartridges.

Anyone else carry a pen?

Usually a few Mont Blanc's to make everyone else feel poor.

I had a friend in highschool who did.

He was a hipster in the 1990s. Which was even weirder.

Nice pens prove that if you’re not a capitalist you’re just too dumb to figure out how to get a white guy to give you money.



I carry around Parker roller balls and have Mont Blancs at home FWIW

The Karas Kustoms I posted sells a version for the G2...they sell cool click pens too.

Tactile Turn’s new offerings hold the G2 as well.

I do. Cheap pen with a good insert is usually what I carry.

My pen requires a stylus. No thanks on that pen.

Same. I work around a bunch of construction guys and our vendors. I don't need fancy, I need function.

Yes

I like TTs a lot more than the Karas. That said since I moved my office all my stuff is scattered and I'm using a plain Lamy Safari rollerball (with a uniball signo cut to fit).

It's the perfect capped pen IMO. Indestructible, lightweight, balanced. I had a couple fountain versions previously but never took to them, not sure why.

How do you like the Bolt? I got a Retrakt a couple months ago and was torn between it and the Bolt, but I wasn't really sure how I'd like the funky movement, but it was the funky movement that made it seem special. I am happy with my Retrakt.

I usually carry a fountain however, I haven't gone full insane with it yet. Mostly I have a few Lamy Safari and a TWSBI demonstrator which I love, but a customer destroyed it a while back....which lead me to get the Karas. I think I'll get a Karas EDC next.

I'm a little odd, I chose a pen each Sunday evening as I prep for the week. I keep them all in a desk drawer in a tray.

I know Bob Dole liked to carry around a pen.
