Editing The Pen Addict 92/transcript (section)

== Kaweco Clip ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' my problem with the Kaweco is the clip situation because I think an everyday carry pen should have a clip so you can clip it to something but I have found the clips that you add to be to not be very reliable like I had a clip on mine and it just comes off yep that's no use what's the point

'''Brad Dowdy:''' agreed completely but I actually like carry I just throw this pen in my jeans pocket and I have carried it in my shorts pocket I have no problem carrying this one in the pocket but I do agree with your sentiment that a traditional everyday carry pen like in the traditional classification probably should have a clip because you want to be able to attach it to things and not just your shirt pocket or pants pocket something like that so yeah I am with you on that but from a lot of the pen addict perspective these are the types of things they're carrying and I just wanted to show the different answers that we get when you're talking to the different groups say the traditional everyday carry pen pocket knife flashlight that type of carry is looking for one type of pen and then the people that listen to our podcast and read the pen addict have a lot of different things for some reason I didn't think about this even when I wrote down Rotring 600 I asked this morning before I went to bed I said hey we're doing an everyday carry podcast what does everyone carry what's your everyday carry pen just to get a gauge on the community what they carry the first word from the very first response I got from Julian K who's been a follower for a long time he's a country made of yours Kuro Toga that didn't even register on me and that came up a bunch of other times in the same conversation one of them called it God's pencil the Kuro Toga Josh Berkowitz on Twitter the Kuro Toga came up over and over and over again I was like I didn't even consider that one for some reason I don't know if it's the barrel there are so many good

'''Myke Hurley:''' ways that this is a perfect everyday carry genuinely because pencils write on more surfaces yeah

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I totally agree with it for some reason I personally overlooked ! I

'''Myke Hurley:''' wouldn't have thought ! I wouldn't have thought it either but it's a perfect choice because it's also extremely durable because it's just plastic and it's kind of hollow it's a really good choice actually the only thing is with it being a mechanical pencil the lead is thin and too much abrasion could break the lead I think that could be your only problem and if it breaks too much it becomes frustrating to write with

'''Brad Dowdy:''' right aside from the Kaweco AL sports there was lots of calls for the classic and the sport the plastic barrel same design plastic barrel which I can understand there was a few pilot high tech C's which I think that's a terrible everyday carry pen pen I mean besides the fact it's one of my personal all time favorite pens it is way too finicky to be taken out and about and writing anywhere everywhere type of thing you don't want to get stuck with that pen not writing which has happened to me so I don't even care I mean I carry them everywhere with me just it's not made for that necessarily what else we got a few of the Kickstarter pens you know in the more traditional EDC sense you know the one called the pen project you know the carous custom retract you know I think it's a good call you know it's the aluminum barrel it's retractable it takes a lot of different refills same with the tactile turn mover for

'''Myke Hurley:''' me though an everyday carry pen should be small

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I

'''Myke Hurley:''' think which is

'''Myke Hurley:''' it should be pocketable as well as to be thrown in a bag I
