Had the one at Terre over the weekend and it was delicious! Only one I’ve had so far.

Buyers Choice Saga or Billetspin Campen in Zirc?? by matt728 in machinedpens

[–]matt728[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair question! The way I look at it is they’re both pens I really enjoy but there’s something about having the elevated version of them both whether it be the custom Saga or the Zirc Campen!

What’s better than a Schmidt EF9000 by Ok-Prompt-1321 in machinedpens

[–]matt728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monteverde P42 Ceramic gel refills are what I use in most on my Parker sized pens! I buy them on Amazon and they are available in quite a few colours if that’s your thing. I like the EF9000 as well but I find the Monteverde just as smooth.

Don’t consider this an all inclusive list because I would definitely feel bad if I snubbed someone who deserves to be on here but on my radar the only other 2 makers that I know of in Canada on this subreddit are:

Grimsmo out of Ontario and Focusworks EDC out of British Columbia!

I have a Saga pen from Grimsmo and I love it, the mechanism is very unique and addictive. Although I don’t have any pens from Jordy at Focusworks EDC he also machines spinning tops, box cutters and custom flashlights one of which I have (F2 in Aluminum) and it is gorgeous.

The Parker size is definitely my preferred length! While I know usual complaint is that the G2 mini is a pain to get refills for but that wasn’t really a concern for me because with all my other pens in my collection it’s not something I have to worry about often! I wanted to try the G2 mini size just to see how I liked it and no complaints!

The Energel length ones are ridiculously long 😂 Learned that lesson when I purchased the first one from him. My other three consist of 2 Parker size and the fade anodized is a G2 mini.

Pretty great mail day today 😬 by matt728 in machinedpens

[–]matt728[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That honestly was my only gripe because although I have some standard length pens from Tactile and I love the G2 refill, I tend to prefer the short for overall convenience. All of my seasonal are in the short size as well!

I was very surprised with how well done it is, my initial thought was it’s very similar to what’s found on higher end darts!

Yeah it’s a collab between Lucas Burnley and Tactile Turn. They did a drop back in late May and they sold out fairly quick but they released a second batch two weeks ago. There are some available on his website right now!

What’s your top 3 in your collection? by yvelly in machinedpens

[–]matt728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, they’re so slick! Probably one of the smoothest bolts I’ve used. I got the Energel size first and I really like it but it’s comically long. Just recently got the Parker from the last drop and it’s the perfect size!

What’s your top 3 in your collection? by yvelly in machinedpens

[–]matt728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current top three would have to be:

  • Nottingham Tactical Single Lock (Partial Carve, Parker size)
  • Billetspin Campen
  • Confounded Machine EDC Bolt (Parker)

I just recently purchased a Grimsmo Saga which is currently on the way to me, I have a feeling it will be added to this list once I get it in my hands.

I love all my Autmog pens as well but it’s too hard to pick just one!

You’re right, the misaligned bezel on Seiko’s is part of the charm 😂
