I like pens. :) Pens make for a pleasant, pleasing, low-key and low-stakes thing that is just easy to put attention into.
I've been using a new pen at work for a bit now. I wonder what other people who use pens have said about this pen!
Great pen. It does the job great!

The steel construction of the pen feels great in the hand. The tip pf the pen comes to a nice point that will penetrate the arteries on the right and left side of the neck. You can drive the pen all the way up to the clip of the pen with very little effort. This is one fantastic self defense tool. The price point is great! It's not too shabby to write letter.
(Thanks for weighing in, Doctor Dick Thunderbush.)
Is there not even one thing humans—and we could likely add some specifications to this identification—can not and will not ruin?
Anyway. Zebra F-701. Decent pen. All metal, should stay out of the landfill for the foreseeable. Comes with a metal refill, but more can't always be bought. F-301 refills fit inside it just fine, and those refills, as noted previously, are fine, not great. (One thing I don't love about them is that I think I can tell that they write less well once the ink level gets below the barrel's shoulder. I can imagine physical reasons for this, of course, but I'm not an hundo p. Convinced that my perception of this change to deficiency is correct.)
(How to tell the refills apart: the F-701 refills are all metal; the F-301s are plastic. How to tell they are the same: both fit in a F-701; both are extremely badly sketched.)
It's very heavy. This is a little bit of an issue at work, where it's not hugely uncommon for me to need to take a couple pages of notes in a single several-hour meeting. A pen of this weight doesn't exactly fly down the lines of my crummy work-issued steno pads the way a Bic Crystal—nor even a Zebra F-301—will.
Lastly, Zebra's ink doesn't bother me too much, but it is a little blobby on most of the papers I use, and somebody on YouTube—Unsharpen, maybe?—described the Zebra black as "grey" and, lately, that has super haunted me.
(Maybe a little grey, yeah?)
