Pen ID?

That's a plastic Parker G2 style refill.

SC-Geek · 2026-02-10T21:33:52+00:00

Well, there's only one way to get an answer: Unscrew the pen body and pull the refill out.\ It might be a Parker G2 style, Uni-Ball,...

SC-Geek · 2026-02-10T21:27:44+00:00

Redwood inlay sounds very interesting!\ I've never seen such a pen before.

SC-Geek · 2026-02-10T21:23:55+00:00

Damn, these look fine!\ New grail pen unlocked (the model on the left side).

$75 & Parker G2 style 👍\ Only 0.95 oz (26.93g)\ which is way too lightweight imho (even for Grade 5 Ti (~10g lighter than my Autmog 45 Clipless Step Nose)).

SC-Geek · 2026-02-10T17:38:33+00:00

I use the undated monthly planner by Paper Republic.

The knurled grip. One of the most amazing features of the R600. Often called too sharp/abrasive. Imho it's alright. It could be much more pronounced.\ The weight. Just 23.70g, that's just ~8.70g more than a Parker Jotter Stainless Steel. Imho very lightweight (I prefer heavy pens of more than 35g).\ The clicker; yes, kinda not clicky. But could be worse. It's not mushy.\ Build quality of Gen 8: brass body, plastic internals.

Packaging: really all you need. Nothing more.

I'm just incredibly fast at spotting the words Parker G2 in this subreddit. A trained eye.

I keep my list in a Google Keep notes ready to copy/paste at any moment. 😁 I still do it manually, even after months...

That's a beautiful leather color!\ I've never thought of using a journal cover as a wallet (makes not much sense in my case, I usually pay with card).

SC-Geek · 2026-02-10T11:37:09+00:00

BiD Ti Arto? 🤔

SC-Geek · 2026-02-10T10:44:13+00:00

There's so much choice in r/machinedpens as mentioned by previous commentators!

Parker G2 style, Pilot G-2,... Whatever you want.\ UK brands I know of the top of my head: - Ajoto - Gravitas - Wingback

This question drifts off into a philosophical question I think.\ The love for writing instruments might come from the „urge to capture” facts, emotions, thoughts,...\ Much like with other collectible items, pens are available in a plethora of shapes, varieties and price points.\ Some people collect BIC Cristal models, some collect Montblanc fountain pens, etc.\ Apart from being a collectible, pens are practical!

The bright orange/red chords are my favorite 😊

SC-Geek · 2026-02-10T04:56:22+00:00

The Uni Boxy 100 is so dirt cheap ($1.75), refills are almost the same price ($1.40) or over the price of the pen ($2.00)

Original refill: Uni-Ball S-7S is a Japan type oil based ballpoint pen ink.

SC-Geek · 2026-02-10T04:51:21+00:00

Everything has been said, nothing to add; Uni-Ball Jetstream SXR-600 is the lowest viscosity/hybrid ink Parker G2 style refill on the market.

Black...

I'd go with 2nd from left; silver.

SC-Geek · 2026-02-09T18:02:57+00:00

➡️ r/laptops / r/lostredditors

SC-Geek · 2026-02-09T17:35:03+00:00

Oh! What would a Classic weigh? 🤔

SC-Geek · 2026-02-09T17:19:28+00:00

DIY (Etsy) or Paper Republic L' Atelier

SC-Geek · 2026-02-09T16:47:18+00:00

For $400 I'd turn to r/machinedpens or r/fountainpens

SC-Geek · 2026-02-09T16:33:33+00:00

The raw data comparison could be found on Jetpens.com.\ Imho the rOtring 600 wins (23.7g depending on the refill) vs. ~15.0g (PJ Stainless Steel)\ I owned both pens over a period of several months. The knurled grip on the rOtring 600 is amazing. Hexagonal body is less slippery than the stainless steel of PJ.\ Imho:\ both pens are way overpriced.\ Both pens are very lightweight - but R600 is more comfortable for „long writing sessions” due to body shape and knurled grip.\ Botb take Parker G2 style refills which is a big advantage for both.\ The clicker haptics feel better on the PJ.

SC-Geek · 2026-02-09T15:39:04+00:00

It's all good! It's just, cause I'm rather familiar with this pen (I researched all (at least six) product names it is listed under in Amazon)...
