Any pen snobs out there?
I've seen threads on just about everything else, but don't recall seeing one on writing instruments.
I don't collect pens as collectibles the way many people do, but I prefer a good fountain pen for most of my writing at work. I've tried a few, but settled on this one as my daily driver about 5 years ago:  Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 146 LeGrande What's your favourite pen?

Not much of a pen snob here. I've always used medium point Paper Mate PMOPs.

I have two Mont Blancs, a Boheme and a Solitaire along with a couple of higher end pens. They were all gifts though I rarely use them. I'm using Pilot G-2's on a regular basis.

I have a collection of mid-fi (to use an audiophile term) pens. After owning a few nice fountain pens I decided they weren't for me - a fountain is too messy for crossword puzzles, LOL. I have 3 Waterman Expert ballpoints, 2 Waterman Expert Rollerballs, a Mont Blanc ballpoint and 3 Rotring rollerballs. IMHO the Waterman Expert is a great pen for the money.

I used a Waterman Expert fountain for 2 or 3 years before I got the current MB. My wife has had the same Rotring rollerball for almost 15 years and loves it. No question, fountain pens can be messy if you don't develop the right habits. I can't hand freshly signed papers to people and I refuse to lend my pen, even for a signature. I'll grab a ballpoint for multipart forms or a mechanical pencil for random scribbling (or crosswords  ). It helps to be right-handed, too.I've just never found a rollerball that glides over the paper like a good fountain pen.

This is something I keep forgetting to research. I have several Cross pens but I'd like a nice fountain.

Thanks for the responses, fellas.
Some of the earliest childhood memories that I have of my grandfather are of him sitting at his roll-top desk, filling a big fat fountain pen from a bottle of ink. Stayed with me I guess.

I have two AT Cross pens for work that I got as an academy graduation gift from someone very special to me. I guard them with my life. No one uses them. They write pretty good, but are hard to hold with sweaty hands, and I get vewy sweaty hands when I write for more than a few minutes...
