A brace of Pilot Petits...very nice little fellows. Easily pocketed.

I'm loving this thread! My kids an nephews are really into the concept of the pen, and I'd like to introduce them...without compromising any of my writing sticks.

About 75 percent of the oens recommended here don't take standard internationals...and I'm scratching my head on this, so I'm gonna second the hooded Jinhao 599.

 

There's the Nemosine Singularity, with nibs ranging from XF to a medium cursive italic, but those are five over the OP's price point.

Baoer 388, in either black or flighter.

You can find this in bulk and get the price down to less than $4 each, delivered.

You may have to adjust the nib to get the ink flow as you want it. But hey, the pen is cheap.

 

For a piston pen, try the Dollar 717 pen. I think it is even cheaper.

Buy a pack of 10 for $25 = $2.50 each, delivered.

And if you buy enough, you could probably get the price even lower.

BTW, this is the same pen that the SF Pen Show will be using for the ink sampling. One of the group took one of the pens on a business trip to test it, and it worked just fine.

As far as I'm concerned this is the new, cheap workhorse pen.

 

Thanks for the link, that was some hilarious reading. A little excerpt from the description:

 

Number of Yen to expensive, extravagant floats using a fountain pen, and usually do not use pompous words and sentences

A Carpe diem mood, using a disposable pen, how much time to cool our contents become rarefied and lonely

Tend to be. But the design really! Engaging their funny nature and is a favorite pen and eye

Dare to be floated, it'll be hilarious and fun feel.

 

 

Introduce the thing, enjoy the fun and cheerful mood to use fountain pens. My favorite color

You can put the ink used in a variety of applications! A fashionable demonstrator （ air permeability

Akira axis ） fountain pen is. Turn the knobs butt shaft type , so in the same axis books

Has nice features like a pen that inhalation of ink to the body can be.

$3.00 I found in Hobby Lobby. It accepts International standard short cartridges AND stores an additional one inside the barrel. Soft writer. Travel enabled! I suppose it could be used as an eyeropper also. Got it on my desk for daily use among others and never fails to write. It has a fine nib and I don't think there is a choice.
