I have no clue, I’m more utilitarian than fancy. I’ve tried fountain pens but found them to be too high maintenance. If it means anything, my second favorite pen is probably a G2.
The f701 is 8 bucks, a space pen refill is another 9 dollars or so.
So for 20 bucks you have a stainless steel pen that will last forever, while writing in damn near all conditions. Looks snazzy enough to trigger the “I better not leave this” for me, too.
I commented this elsewhere, but I figured it deserves it’s own top level comment.
You can take an affordable stainless steel zebra f701 and swap out the ink with a fisher space pen refill for a solid, utilitarian pen for less than 15 bucks.
You can chuck a fisher space pen refill in the f701 if you want to spice it up
If you want to ball on a budget, you can get a steel f701 pen from zebra for $10, slap a fisher space pen refill in it, and call it a day. It’s what I use.
Along these lines, if anyone craving Altoids sours of yesteryear, cracker barrel actually sells the spiritual successor.
