No judgment if you love yours. I am just noting how expensive ignoring existential dread can get.

    Iā€™d say itā€™s a yes from the perspective of two different styles!

    For the looser grip, farther away from the tip, the materials are super-soft and grippy, the plastic in the tip is some sort of either nylon or acrylic (from what I can tell), so it picks up body heat fast, itā€™s comfy.

    If you claw it closer to the tip, that ridge really helps with positioning and grip stability, the metal tip feels solid, itā€™s slippery enough to allow for a lot of micro-adjustments without it feeling like itā€™s fighting against your finger movements, and the pen itself is pretty well balanced as a whole.

    This one is still my all-time favourite in terms of grip comfort, though. Iā€™ve had it for over a decade now, the weatheringā€™s legit, but I sanded off its pocket clip as it was clashing with the shape to my eyes.

    Well, another one to the wishlist! I started digging yesterday, did a deep dive into Pilotā€™s offerings and that all-metal Capless is a sexy bit of kit! And Lamyā€™s stuff does, indeed, look way more serious than I thought, may have been biased by seeing their consumer grade stuff all over the place so far.

    Oh, that sounds perfect! I tend to write in chunks consisting of several hours of hyperfixation, and I usually have to pop the refillā€™s emergency ration by the end of the second - and theyā€™re those double-long refills, too!
