Although we live in an age where we take notes on our phones and send emails through our computers, you simply can’t deny the appeal of a well-made fountain pen. Whether you save it for special occasions (think wedding guestbook or signing the contract on a big deal) or you keep it as an accessory on your desk, a good pen tends to make a statement. That’s why we’ve rounded up the eight best pens for everyday use.

1. JinHao 250 Stainless Steel Gold Trim Fountain Pen

2. Pilot MR Retro Pop Collection Fountain Pen

Sporting a fun, retro style, this fountain pen features a sturdy brass barrel and a stainless steel tip. Dipped in a premium matte finish, you’re able to choose from a variety of bright, popping colors to suit your needs. The refillable ink cartridge works with Pilot or Namiki brand inks.

Each Leedemore fountain pen is beautifully handcrafted with rosewood, making it both lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Featuring an elegant 0.55mm nib and an extremely comfortable grip, this pen makes a great gift or a great centerpiece. And unlike other fountain pens, this one draws ink directly from the bottle, which helps prevent smears and smudges.

With a sturdy build and an extra comfortable base, each pen comes with a Pilot ink cartridge and a Pilot Press Plate Converter.
