Pilot Birdy Stainless Steel Body Mini Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Ink

There are a couple things that I try to always have in my pocket. I keep my car keys, wallet, phone, pen knife, notebook, and a pen. Not only are other pens annoyingly large, I've had several break in my pocket and experienced that rush of fear that the pants were ruined. This pen is small enough to easily pocket without that fear. Not only that it but it writes well and is quite cheap.There are few pens I've had that I was willing to refill, this is one of the few.

I really love this pen. It's not a long-writer by all means, but it fits perfectly with my Field Notes+leather cover. It's best for jotting quick notes and entries.

One thing that I REALLY LOVE is that it fits the Pilot LHSRF-8C refills (Pilot Hi-Tec-C Slim Knock cartridges). While I can't write for long periods of time with it, this has made it to my go-to EDC pen.

I love the size of these pens for my wallet and for keeping on a note pad in my car glove box. My only issue has been the clicker end cap. I have had 2 of them break part of the plastic barrel inside and one cap that liked the come unscrewed.

I've been a great fan of pens from Pilot. I came across with the couleur ballpoint pen, it is awesome and wanted another one or something similar. This one is just another mini in my collections!

I love this pen, though I prefer the blue ink refill to the black. The inkflow is good for a finer-tip ballpoint (tiny hints of skipping but I don't notice it unless I'm looking for it) and it's smooth to write with. This pen is invaluable on the go, I can't sing its praises enough

My only wish is that they'd make this same pen in an "everyday" size, because my hand cramps around something so tiny after writing any more than a quick note in my planner or mini-moleskine. Where is the companion pen that's more user-friendly for an extended period of writing (like at work all day)??! Come on, Pilot!! ^_^
