> When was the last time you’ve thought about pens?
Rarely, but that's because I've been using the same pens for years now: the Zebra Fortia 300. I've always got one on me and I've been using the same body for 5+ years. They are minimal workhorses with a super satisfying click.
I didn't realize Fortias were available in the U.S. so I picked up a couple along with many, many ink cartridges at a Loft in Osaka, Japan about 7 years ago. Still going strong.
But it turns out they are easily available here too. [0]
I realize pens may not be a huge deal to many on HN, but if you're on a quest for a reliable pen with ink that doesn't smear, I can't recommend the Zebra Fortia enough.
