Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen?

Waterford makes an excellent ballpoint, nice and heavy, takes a Parker refill.

I like Tornado by Retro 51 roller ball pens - and fountain pens.

A Pilot G2 Limited is a great everyday pen. Very fluid ink delivery with a good hand feel, all for around $12! Have always liked the Caran d'Ache-Metwood, reminds me of an upper level Clearaudio deck.

If you're buying a pen to actually use, as opposed to collect, you need something that feels good in your hand when you're writing. This leaves out a lot of the high-end pens with odd shapes and sharp edges. I happen to like the Pelican ballpoint for everyday use. I also like the fact that it takes a Parker gel refil, which is a very nice, smooth ink - almost like a cross between a ballpoint and a roller.

Pelican.
