Hi there -

I'll start out by saying that I really don't know anything about pens, and have not invested any time in serious research to enlighten myself. And honestly, I don't plan to. I do though seek your advice on a matter.

I am looking for a 'nice' pen. To an ignorant folk such as myself, that means Montblanc. In my head, I equate Montblanc to Rolex - possibly wrongly so.
But please tell me of other brands if you see fit.

I want a pen that I can carry in my jeans pocket, and therefore would like it to be small. The only one I have found like this is a Montblanc Hommege a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Reference 15727. Do you think that this is a suitable/logical choice? If not, what do you recommend?

Any input is very much appreciated! Thank you.

Forgot to included that I do not want a fountain pen.

Thanks.

I would think about a 925 Sterling Pen from various companies if I was going to carry it in my jeans. I would not carry an MB made out of "precious resin" in my jeans pocket. I would be worried about damaging it. I usually carry it in my shirt pocket or clipped in between the shirt by the buttons.

Thanks Frosty - I'll look into that

Parker Jotter..$10 at office max.. Nice feel and writes great. Also from goldeneye.. Just make sure you know if you pick up the exploding version

Small with no pointy ends so perfect to carry in any pocket of your jeans. Uses Fisher sealed refills so won't leak in your pocker either!

I have one of these egg-shell pens made by Astoria of Hamburg - It was a fountain pen but they do make rollerballs.

Whoa. Misread the title (quietly backs away hoping no one notices).
