Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Marker Pen - 0.3 mm - Gray

One of my favorite gray pens, as the ink is darker than most -- some of the gray pens out there simply use an ink which is too light-colored for my personal preference. This is a basic pen, no frills, no bells and whistles, no runs, no drips, no errors (there's that Krylon commercial again), but it works very nicely for me. Can't argue with the nice price, either. I've had my Staedtler since 2007 and it still works great.

OK little doodling pen. It's cheap and it has a moderately fine line--after a page of drawing it settled down from that fresh-out-of-the-cap fineness. Supposedly it will survive for days on the desert of my desk when I forget to put the cap back on, so, THAT's its main selling point for me. It simply puts down a line, to frills, no thrills, and ok also for note taking. The slate grey ink is nice to work with, the triangular shape is easy on the fingers (YMMV: I like a narrower body on a pen...maybe it helps me focus on the line...). At this price, I won't worry about losing it or using it up (or knocking the cap off) if I toss it in my bag for random sketches.
