What's on your desk right now?

You’re gonna need a bigger desk!

You need a metal eraser for your claim to be valid :smiling_face_with_horns:

Here’s to another 1500!

#1 Aimvision Pro 05 — Brilliant piece in all aspects.

#2 Aimvision 05 — People say it’s not worth it as a mid tier pencil… hmm.. I like it.

#3 Unknown — Kinda matches the #4 Flat-C perfectly, imo. Has a similar flat clip / same action.

#5 Platinum 171 — The Aimvision is quite expensive and that makes it a desk piece by default, right? So I’m starting to consider the 171 is the best go around pencil that has come out in recent years. This blue model is nicer that the all black one.

#6 Ballpoint pen designed by local architect Souto de Moura — it’s basically a machined unibody housing a BIC refill. Disappointing and very useful at the same time, since I’m a BIC fan and it’s one of my favourite mark making tools for drawings

#7 The Capless Jinhao fountain pen — What looks initially like a slightly bizarre instrument (with the tip near the clip, which is weird and upside down), is in fact a wonderful pen, with a warm plastic feel, very well put together and a reliable tool for writing. Love everything about it, it has become my workhorse pen.

#8 Vintage piston ballpoint from Platinum — a very interesting, collector’s item with a superlative design

#9 Vintage Waterman JIF ballpoint/roller — They were relatively popular in the 80s here

10# 3€ very okay hexagonal brass pen from Temu

This is the MUJI Aluminum Hexagonal Flat Clip Pen / Pencil, made by OHTO from around 2010. Check out this entry on Bleistift!

Oh nice – Thanks!

Looks like my dream come true.

This is the function I wish all ballpoint/pencil modifications had.

Nice. I have not seen that version of the bat pencil. What is the model number? It looks longer than PBS1.

A great selection! Which 2 mm leads do you use?

I feel like he’s a strictly Staedtler guy when it comes to 2mm lead

Did someone mention 2mm lead (holders)? I really don’t care for them :joy::

Oh yeah, thanks to Allen, Eolo, Dan, Michal, and Hammer_Jackson for helping me flatten out my wallet! :star_struck:

Thank you! As @DarkwingDuck expected I use Staedtler Lumograph. I once bought so many that I’ll probably have enough for the rest of my life. However, I’d like to try others, any tips?
