Knock around pens i have used:


Pilot Capless.

Nice pen. The gold plating (and perhaps something else) is falling off
of mine, which makes it even more of a knock about pen.

Waterman Phileas:

Apparently they don't make this one anymore. Too bad.

Rotring Cores

I don't like them that much that it would bother me that much if i were
to lose one, but they do write better than some other cheapies (e.g.,
Pelikan 150 & 200s, Lamy Safari).

Esterbrook Js & Dollar pens

Wearevers or some other 3rd tier pen might be a better choice, but it's
hard to resist these.
