The fact that my english handwriting is shit doesn't help my chances with japanese.
I'm a bit of a penphile. I have a box of triplus fineliners and they are my favourite pens ever. They're cheap and they just feel [I]right.[/I]

Is anyone else here into pen spinning or pen mods?

I'd love to do that but I don't really know how to get started.

I've got a lamy safari and I really like the three sided grip on it. It just feels very natural to me.

There are tutorials.
[url]http://www.youtube.com/user/KTrinh93[/url] (Start with the fundamentals - TumbAround, FingerPass, Charge, Sonic)
[url]https://www.youtube.com/user/vicgotSLOMO[/url] - A good collection of slowmos, these are pretty helpful.
[url]http://upsb.info/wiki[/url] - Pretty much anything else you need to know about pen spinning or modding, ever.
I usually use fountain pens, although I found that gel pens are a really good alternative.
I'm in love with my nine different colored Pilot G2s. All of my school notes are color coded obsessively now.
However much I like fountains as a lefty I just can't use them.
That said the best pens I've come across over the years are stabilo bionics and workers.

Wow, I always though people were joking about having fancy pens but I guess there is a wide group of "pen-enthusiasts" out there. I myself have a couple of crappy PaperMate pens that do the job fine in school. I also have somewhat of a weird grip of my writing utensils so having cushy surface for my ring finger is helpful.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;40440362]I have a really fucking weird way of holding writing utensils, so it's hard for me to find comfortable pens.

So pen wizard, is there any sort of nice but affordable pen that I can find that won't burn my hands after 10 minutes?[/QUOTE]

I use Pilot v7's for pretty much everyday things, love it.
Pilot v5 all the way. Although the ink has started to smell really bad.
[QUOTE=Derp Y. Mail;40441711]I really like fountain pens. I have this:
[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/lofazPh.jpg[/img_thumb]
Nothing fancy. The entire build is plastic aside from the nib which is metal. I'd love to own one with swively art all over it.
Refillable ink. Only downside is their tendency to get ink all over my fingers. I don't use it a lot but whenever I write something by hand I use this.[/QUOTE]
Those are called Maki-e pens I have 3 of them and they are amazing to look at

[img]http://www.stylophilesonline.com/images/09-05/09bee2.jpg[/img]
The process of making them involves a layer of resin and then painting and adding gold flakes and accents. The highest end japenese maki-e are hand made
You can get a cheap maki-e fountain pen for around 90~100 called a Platinum kanazawa with an 18k nib for that price.

New section added just for funs

I decided to add this section just for the sake of showing these crazy things off
[b]Amazing/Crazy fountain pens[/b]
Mainly only S.t. Dupont makes this level of fountain pen and some of them are just jaw dropping amazing.
[b]St Dupont Samurai[/b]
[img] http://luxedb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Dupont-Samurai-Prestige-Lighter-and-Pen-Set-for-Stylish-Men-1.jpg[/img]
Valued at around $66,000 it has a white gold laced and accents every where it takes hours of chiseling to get the fine details along the finger rest. Comes with marble stand, a steel letter opener, a white gold accented lighter and a bottle of ink. There are only 20 of these in the world.
[b] St Dupont Zodiac[/b]
[img]http://www.st-dupont.com/sites/default/files/styles/editions_limitees/public/zodiac_0.jpg[/img]
Gold craftsmanship everywhere, Bling bling! Comes with gold plated ashtray and gold laced lighter. Only 33 of them in the world.

Pilot G2 lyfe. After they start to run out of ink they start to get scratchy and blobby though.
I use simple fountain pens for some of my painting outlines:
[t]http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/099/e/7/jawky_by_lieutenantawesome-d610f72.png[/t]
The ink i use is great, because it doesn't react to anything once it's dried. I can sketch up the image,
Ink the lines, use an eraser to get rid of the excess pencil lines and then colour the image with watercolour.
In a way, it's just like the colouring books you had when you were young!

Blah, my mod collection is so sad. Since I'm pretty much broke, I glued two Supertip barrels together and just wrapped a bunch of copper wire around the ends. I call it the Poor Man's Buster. Looks ugly, but it's basically got autopilot for power tricks.
Could anyone do a pen trick section as I know very little on it?
Oh cool - pen thread!

I'm usually not a fan of gold, but this thing looks magnificent in real life.
I've got a few of those Pentel Energel pens, and I'll be honest, they're easily the best pens I've ever used. Crisp, good tactile feel, and produces a solid black line.

Hell they even sometimes make that scratchy pen sound.
I learned how to write with a fountainpen in elementary school, fucking things would leak all over the place, also the horror when you left a ink refill in your pants and you'd fall on your ass or something.
