Thanks for the mentioning the lamy accent. that is a model you dont normally see in the online shops so it flew under the radar for me. It has an interesting design where you can swap out the grips and it has that sleek modern design AND it has screw cap so it has potential to be pen for life. But lmao at that price tag. They cannot be serious with that. It costs more than lamy 2000!
I have this romantic idea of buying a pen and drawing with it for the rest of my life. I think i will buy a few of my current candidates and see for myself which feels the best in the hand + on the paper.
>Kaweco Special Brass
has that octagonal shape like pencils so it wont roll on table, which really annoys me with my current noname pens. exotic material and kaweco really makes WRITING things, the nib and feed is screw in so you dont damage it during cleaning or replacing
>Monterverde Ritma
Basic cylinder pen, but with magnetic cap and is very thick so hopefully it will be comfortable to hold. Again takes standards nibs and international cartridge's like kaweco so you know its made for writing and easy service or spare parts
>Lamy Aion
And lastly i am looking at that cigar shape, because in practice you cannot know for sure if your ideal grip is 12 or 11 or 11.7mm, so in theory with tapered shape your hand will find its own ideal diameter. But lamy uses its own nibs and its own cartridge's, so i asked if there isnt similar pen from diff brand. Like for example Cross ATX Matte Chrome also has that shape, but its grip is polished chrome so grip will be ass. And on top of it it has section bump yet the cap is not threaded so it will get loose over time. And it is thin. I already have thin pencils and ballpoint pens and old chinese pens (parker 51 knockoffs) after my ancestors at home. Fuck thin pens.
Maybe this is foolish idea and the meta is to buy faber castel grip or the platinum preppy or twisbi eco and when it falls apart like all cheap plastic does buy the new one.
