    Pressurised refill? Easily available for replacement in the UK from places other than purchase point? (Be as negative as you can so i don't have to go to the Heinnie site and start tapping in pin numbers...).

    I carry a Pilot G-tec C4: a great pen that writes superbly; but the casing always seems to collapse before the ink has run out, making the pen wasteful; i wish they'd improve the build of the housing.

    EDC back up is a telescopic Tombow with Fisher refill installed.

    On my desk I use a Dunhill carbon fibre fountain pen... makes writing a pleasure. Quick random-find online pic-review:

    Pens are great, but they can get lost in EDC.

    Hi Sunnie
    I have only just started carrying it but a quick Google reveals plenty of online sources for the refill. I don't know if it is pressurised(I assume you meanlike the Fisher)It is a rollerball type thingy. On another tack, I used a brace of Tombow pens and pencils for four years at Uni, absolutely flawless. I'm strictly old school, all my notes taken on A4 paper, no computer problems for me. For first drafts of essays(many,many essays) I discovered and used the triangularFaber-Castell Grip2001 pencils, really comfortable when preparing 5000word essays

    Apart from a fisher space pen, i tend to use whatever,s to hand, having said that i can appreciate the design and engineering that goes into some high end pens.

    Re: Show your pens

    If you are wondering, that's a dip pen/pencil contraption and the lighter is a zippo armour. Here's another photo showing the nib retracted and in pencil mode. Anyone can tell me where to get 1/16" or 1.5mm lead??
