like a pen
i want a pen, but i am very particular about what it does and how it works, so i have decided to “crowdsource” its acquisition. here is what i want:
1. i want the cap to screw off. i don’t want it to pop off, because then it will pop off at all the wrong times.
2. it must be ~3-4” long, any longer and that’s too long. (i don’t really care how fat it is, but it shouldn’t be comically so.)
3. it - preferably the cap - has to attach to a key ring.
4. either black or brown ink. blue ink is used by investment bankers and old people.
5. it should not be flimsy, which means it should not be plastic. in an ideal world this would suffer world war 3 gladly like a rotring or dietzgen, but it should at least suffer the war of being attached to my key chain and biking around a lot.
6. by proxy the clip that attaches it to a key ring should probably not wear over time.
7. the ink shouldn’t freeze at -10F. minus. ten. with a headwind.
8. bonus points if it’s refillable.
9. bonus points if it’s an 0.7mm rollerball.
n.b. that the closest i’ve come is nyuh which fulfills every requirement except for #1, which is a dealbreaker. any suggestions?
