Totally agree R'Gi, but how often does one reach into their top pocket to write... it's all done by keypad. The Donald signs with a fat texta, however, his shirt pocket is not big enough to hold it... that's why I consider many pens as just status symbols. Most should be in nice boxes on a desk highlighting the owner's appropriate status... is his (new BC's) pocket big enough for the box... and then should he take the pencil or the pen... by decision time, the fire has been subdued... oops for the non-gold... when it comes to bugles and color, forgive my ignorance in commenting.
My goto pen is that cigar I always brag about, but as a computer programmer, when I deny my "ex" status, and walk into a PC shop, this is my status symbol, just about falling out of my top pocket for visuals, and you should look at the eyes of the geeks... OK, past the status symbol... that stylus on the tip is a boon for fat fingers for those bloody used unfriendly iPhones..
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
