A Pelikan Souvrain 1000. I'd want something impressive in case the savage cannibals show up and need to be fended off. While the pen is mightier than the sword, it helps to have a really big pen!  Andy

You sure you wouldn't want a pen that COULD double as a sword...like a Rotring 600 old style...aircraft aluminum body and steel F nib. That is the stuff of a good mystery novel...

 

Bill, who would probably opt for a dip pen of some sort, 'cuz eventually ink would have to be created out of SOMETHING and that something would probably screw up an FP...(EDIT) Unlimited ink...until the bloke/blokess forgets to airdrop the goodies...THEN you would have to make the ink that would screw up an FP...

That's easy: my P51 Flighter, medium nib.

[penguinmaster]

My Rotring 600. A man's gotta eat as well, and I figure I can probably beat something to death with the heft of that pen and it'll still keep writing. Although I could stare at some of my Esties for a while as well, so it's a tossup. Pretty shiny pen...or something that'll work as a tool too.

I would have to go with the Lamy 2000 extra fine nib. That way, you could fit more words on your last journal entries before that monster in woods came out to eat you. Or, if I was Richard Dean Anderson, I would buid a Stargate out of it and never look back. So yeah, definately the Lamy 2000.

 

 

Cheers,

John

Aurora 88 with a medium nib. No doubt my favorite pen to use.

What, that wimpy thing? You need a rOtring 600 for carving out a place for yourself in the tribe!

[cmenice]

First choice: Pelikan m800

Second choice: Tame-nuri Densho

 

[goodguy]

This question came up in many ways and many forms and always brings me to think what would I choose.

I almost chose my favorite MB 149 but I had to admit that my Omas Paragon is simply a better writer so I chose my Omas.

 

With a Piston filler,large body,great balance and light weight pen oh and of course the best nib in the market (in my eyes) the Paragon is a pen I could use everyday for the rest of my life!!!

A giant plastic novelty advertising pen, like the 3d billboards have. Hollow it out, and sail to freedom.

[sonia_simone]

Pelikan 600 with Binder .6 mm stub.

[Metric]

While many choose based on bludgeon or sword-like characteristics, I opt for a Sheaffer snorkel, which can in a pinch be used to fire poisonous darts for hunting.

[krz]

My favorite Sheaffer's '49 TD Tuckaway Sentinel with a fine Triumph nib.

 

2cnd choice wold be my 40's Brown Tiger Eye Waterman's Ideal with a flexy fine nib and double cap rings.

[George]

Parker 51 Flighter... mmmm

[guy]

Until my 51 comes back from Mr.Binder I will have to say that my pen of choice on that island will be my 45 with 0.6mm stub.

 

If I am on a cargo ship full of pens when it sinks, I will be grabbing a Pelikan Grand Place fine nib to stay with me on the island. I will then write an order to Mr.Binder for a stub nib, put that message in a bottle with a request for Evangeline Lily delivers it with some Diamine Umber and some Rhodia paper.

Hero 100 Flighter

[Halligator]

My MB 149 (Diplomat) from 1968, Binderized F stub (so smooth!), Parker Quink Blue-Black ink. I love this combination... Second would be my Waterman's 452, F flexible nib, with Scrip Black ink.

[jar]

Most any of my cartridge filled pens, so I could write little notes and put them in the empty cartridges an send them off to my friends.

aerometric 925 sterling silver Cisele P-75, it will also take a converter and a cartridge. A three for one, and if necessary I can sell it for a goodly number of ice cold German beers.

Of course there's a bar there. You don't think I'd go to a deserted Island with out a bar do you?

If it's that deserted that they closed up the bar for good pr for the season, I can hammer the silver into fish hooks, with a flash spinner gadget in front....so I'd not have to dig for worms.

It's a wee bit small for shoveling.

 

I'd drink salt water before I drank Miller Lite.
