Also known as the cheapest pen you'll love. For me would be the $3 Pilot Varsity also sold as the Pilot V-pen. [img][/img] Sold as a disposable, it comes with a smooth medium nib and a rather plentiful supply of ink. When it runs out you can toss it out or reuse it. I refilled mine several times. The graphics on the barrel are rather worn, but it sure writes nice, and nobody will put it in their pocket and walk off with it cuz it aint pretty no more. This could also be called an eyedropper filled pen. All pens were willed that way in the 1800s before internal ink sacs became the thing. In any case, if you remove the nib assembly - pull it straight out using a rubber gripping disc = use an eyedropper to refill with ink - and just replace the nib. It will only go in one way so mark the barrel before pulling out the nib. [img][/img]
