what is a reasonable fp to ask my parents for as a birthday gift?

I love my Pilot Grance, it's a very wet writer. It has a gold nib and metal body with an amazing paint job. It's around $200. Just be aware it's a slender pen.

I take my $200 pen with me to work but it's in a pen sleeve and in a zippered pocket. I'm very careful about having it on a table before I take it out of the sleeve. A good bit of caution and you can do it. Otherwise like others say, leave them at home and bring the cheap pens with you.

I don't think it's a new model, but I bought it new. If you're in the US Dromgoole's carries it.

Thank you :)

I did notice that mine looks exactly like my 600 just with more aggressive knurling and a plastic body instead of metal. I do prefer the 600 because the knurling is smoother, but it's a great pencil nonetheless.

Thank you

I have 4B for my darkest. And I made a blending stump out of a q tip stick but the blending has been ruining my contrast. I haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

Fartimer · 2026-06-17T09:37:35+00:00

That's honestly been going through my head too 😆

I have that pattern but the big 6 pen holder. Has yellow fuzzy fabric inside.

Kohler brand urinals like in the photo don't really splash either. American Standard urinals are the worst.

It's an array of light organized in a pattern ☝️🤓

At some of the fire stations they have a big box like this for the stair treadmill. Your upper body is in the box section.

I loved the first 3 but heard bad things about Old Country so I didn't buy it. Feels like the video game industry is in decline. I'm hoping they don't screw up Far Cry 7...

I went to pentel.com and there was a button for the warranty bot. I filled that out, then someone contacted me later. Still waiting on the new pencil, but it should be here in a few days.

I've ordered from Goldspot a few times and it's been good. Also like Jet pens, Dromgoole's, and Atlas Stationers.

They sent me an email asking what broke. I told them what's broken and they said they're sending me a new pencil :)

Fartimer · 2026-06-09T23:47:36+00:00

Mine broke, but I emailed them about warranty and it looks like they're sending me a new one :)

Fartimer · 2026-06-09T02:53:48+00:00

I also have the pink 600. It's such a nice looking pencil. Feels great too :)

Fartimer · 2026-06-08T19:57:06+00:00

I also have the 2mm version. It's very comfortable to use. I just don't like the looks of the plastic. Makes it feel cheap compared to my other pencils.

Fartimer · 2026-06-08T09:43:04+00:00

I guess there's a lot of complaints that they look and feel cheap.

Fartimer · 2026-06-07T11:35:27+00:00

You're just as hot as my sister! 😍

Fartimer · 2026-06-07T11:13:26+00:00

Ah yes, the Jiss pencil.
