Recommend a cheap pocket pen?

That's a nice looking pen but still bigger overall than I was hoping for. It's not the money so much as the size, right now. I want to try a small but cheap pen to see if I even like it. 

 

The Liliput sale was very tempting and I almost got the silver pen... I just don't like how it looks! If I get a nice pocket pen I want either a Fireblue style finish, or copper or brass that will develop a patina. All of which are expensive so I need to make sure I won't hate it first. That's the quest. 

 

I decided to drop ten whole bucks on this pen. Fatter than a Liluput, but just 85 mm long. Fude nib, which I like. I'll just see how it makes me feel and go from there. There were some other great candidates in this thread like the Tasche, and I'll keep my eyes open for them too.  

 

 

 

 

That is a nice option too. I think you made a good choice. Let us know how you feel about it.
