What got you into Pens?

They will still be worth something in 20, 50, 100 years and will have great stories to tell. Yes quality is in most cases far better. I use all of mine on a regular basis, far more regular for my fountain pens than I had thought before I bought my first one about a year ago.

I always loved my uni ball vision elite micro with blueblack ink. Then one day I was with one of my customers who had a nice pen out and offered it to me before my hand hit my pocket to get mine. I wrote with it and it was so smooth. That got me looking. Then I figured that when I write an appraisal for a couple hundred thousand dollars on one unmentionable, it would be a nice touch to sign it with a fountain pen. That allowed me to justify the first one. Then I need ones to match different attire, I got a nice black ballpoint to match my black belt, watch strap and shoes but it just so happened to say Omega. Well we all know you can't wear a rolex or breitling and carry an omega pen so I had to buy a rolex one too. The story goes on but you get the drift. Also I love that my good pens will write on damn near any surface or paper type.

Buy one, use it, enjoy it, pass it down.
