A thread for everyone to share their favorite writing utensils (yes i call them utensils)... Your pens, fountain pens, pencils, brush pens, whatever you love using the most.
Bonus points for flex-nib fountain pens :)

My answer to this question reliably gets me cancelled by "awareness teams" who are part of https://theportal.wiki/wiki/The_Distributed_Idea_Suppression_Complex_(The_DISC),
who will block all occurrences of "creatively combining facts no one else has connected before":
Q: What is the most effective pentesting device?
A: A pen is.
@freemo This is my white-whale pen: https://www.penchalet.com/fine_pens/fountain_pens/visconti_leonardo_da_vinci_machina_fountain_pen.html
Hand etched vegetal resin scrimshaw illustration, an excellent power-fill, and an iridium tipped paladium nib, not counting the amazing icosahedron wooden storage box and other fixings...I'm hoping to get it as a present either for finishing my PhD or for getting Tenure/a good paying job, depending on where I decide to go after I wrap up my degree.
@freemo I have a Lamy Safari fountain pen that is very satisfying to write with.
More frequently, I’ll use a Uni-ball ‘eye’ fine or a Muji 0.5 rollerball.
