If the pen is lightweight, thereРІР‚в„ўs a broader range of lengths that will work for me, but a pen thatРІР‚в„ўs too long, especially if itРІР‚в„ўs back-weighted when posted, is a nonstarter. For someone who takes perhaps a dozen pages of handwritten notes per day, my pen canРІР‚в„ўt cause my hand to cramp. I have pens that donРІР‚в„ўt post, but theyРІР‚в„ўve been living in the Penwell. I canРІР‚в„ўt worry about where I set the cap to write because it will go missing.

I often have a РІР‚СљbusyРІР‚Сњ desk full of documents that IРІР‚в„ўm working on, or trying to sort out into some order that makes sense. Just as the watches that I wear need to have a РІР‚СљdateРІР‚Сњ complication, the pens I use every day need to post. So before I get started on this new series of pen reviews, I wanted to take a few moments to define my criteria for considering something a РІР‚СљworkhorseРІР‚Сњ - something IРІР‚в„ўll keep inked up nearly 100% of the time.

For example, the TWSBI 580 is commonly offered as an example of a reasonably priced pen intended as an everyday writer, but it doesnРІР‚в„ўt work for me as a personal РІР‚СљworkhorseРІР‚Сњ because I canРІР‚в„ўt post the cap (more on this below).

The problem with such broad categorizations, of course, is that one personРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚СљworkhorseРІР‚Сњ might be completely impractical for another.

The term РІР‚СљworkhorseРІР‚Сњ gets thrown around a lot in pen reviews, casually used to denote a pen thatРІР‚в„ўs not necessarily fancy, but rather intended to serve as a utilitarian daily writer. I do change them up a lot, which is how I manage to keep up the pace on pen reviews, but there are several pens that are РІР‚СљconstantsРІР‚Сњ in my rotation. I often get asked, at pen shows or by e-mail, what fountain pens I use on an everyday basis.
