The real question: Is that Pilot G7 a 0.10 or a 0.07? Very different pens. 0.7 ftw
Another vote for 5, 0.7
Like those Zebra Sarasas, the blue ones are perfect
anyone voting G2 hasn’t used one recently, or hasn’t used literally any other pens in that time. I think the G2 is the absolute worst one on the list. At least the bic doesn’t pretend to be able to write very well.
I have an entire note taking program calibrated around the ink colors of 5. I kinda dug myself that grave though. They are at least decent pens.
Also you can mod them into pen guns. Shooting works better if you replace the ink though.
Give me that smooth 5
None of these pieces of shit.
Probably would stick with my Pilot S95 Elite, or if I wanted something a little less flashy, my Lamy Vista.
The real solution is to find a parker compatible chassis that has the right shape, feel, and weight for your preferences. Then simply buy parker refills of your choice. Energel .5 is pretty great :)
#5 carried me through three degrees.
5 is the objectively correct answer here.
Yeah, no contest at all.
It’s probably the choice I would have to go with, but when I was working with full boxes a lot, I started caring more about which pens were sturdy sharp enough to stab through tape and drag through it 50 times an hour and not end up looking at the end of your pen and find out the tip ripped off. Switching to a box knife over and over slows you down a lot and I needed the pen to cross out and document what was missing from the orders. Pens with caps are a pain for that as well, waste time.
I probably should have tried to find something like this: https://atechgo.com/products/multitool-pen-9-in-1-box-cutter?variant=31317899149448&srsltid=AfmBOorxxFa__k_qsBl8iPIi6kKPJc6A4Ah6nJ8WZ7gm3JZhWGj1qBZ_1AY
I used to have a need to open things a lot while on the other side of a security barrier (and metal detector.) I ended up getting a Gerber Shard to carry around on my keychain. Does most of my multitool, prying and even knife jobs without being sharp enough to get taken by TSA (or rent-a-cop or whomever)

Damn that pen is actually super handy. My only issue I’d have is i really like having a fine tip pen I use a Pilot G2 07 black pen
5 for me
5 has the ink i use, the g2 whatever. But I use it in the fat Dr. Grip pen, cause of my old hands.
Another for 5
No skilcraft government pen?
5, 0.7mm
You lost me at the fat tip
Preference aside, I’ve found that most others use the 0.5mm and that that means my pens usually find their way back to me when borrowed. I generally like the way the increased flow feels and don’t experience a difference in control vs the finer tip. That said, the 1.0mm is crazy and feels like I am trying to paint, so I definitely get how others that prefer the finer tip might feel about my preference.
- Fisher space pen
I keep one at my desk and have one in my pocket (most of the time).
I’ve had the bullet version on me at all times for the last decade or so. Fits in my coin pocket of my jeans perfectly.
