Recommend me a pen - Carbon bodied

[JAGS]

Decided that I would like a carbon bodied pen to go with my existing lot of pens.

Have seen these:

Or:

http://www.dunhill.co.uk/the-shop/pens/sentryman/n...


Thoughts?
Wanting a carbon bodied one. No other reason apart from the fact that they look stonkingly good (to me anyway!)

Already have 3 MB pens that I use regularly. This will be added into rotation.

Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.

Of the carbon pens I've looked at (mostly online as they're not always available in shops to have a look at) these ones seemed the nicest real carbon ones:

Haven't got round to getting one, but Santa may do the honours.

I've got this Dunhill, looks great and feels good to use....

That Dunhill looks superb. Guessing it is a model that is not made anymore...

Second that - treated myself to the rollerball version a while back...fantastic clean lines and great engineering.

Well worth considering.

I have this Shaeffer Intensity. Available on Amazon for about £25, and feels and writes great. Also complies to the law about they propensity to lose the pen being proportional to the value.

It seems that there are good quality carbon pens available at a fraction of the cost of the Dunhill or Mont Blanc!

Any reason why these are massively priced?
Is there a genuine quality difference? Or would I just essentially be paying for a name?

Had my heart set on either of the two that I linked, but now I'm having second thoughts...

Another recommendation for the dunhill AD2000



They do come up from time to time on ebay, I bought this one in 2000 at Hamburg airport and it's been a daily ever since, haven't picked up my MB's hardly since then.

The dunhill you linked to in your first post is stunning. That would be my personal choice. It will last a lifetime and for me personally, I will be passing it on to my son

There is a dunhil on eBay at the moment. £235

I must be getting old ! They all look like ball point pens or biros to me........I thought a pen was something with a nib and ink ?

The quality of the writing / ink on a biro / roller ball / gel is the same, you're paying for the case basically.
An ink pen is all in the nib and the ink, which is surely where the big difference lies...

I've got a Dupont Carbon Fibre roller ball which I like. It's my first 'expensive' pen, although no doubt a lot cheaper than some on here. I am always losing pens so historically have stuck with biros.
