I’m a journalist. I write a lot. Right now I use a kaweco perkeo all black fountain pen. But I want to upgrade. I’m looking for a light weight no screw fountain pen in a higher price class. It has to be durable, can take a lot on ink, an edc and around the 100 dollar mark. What do you guys recommend?

    It’s only going to take cartridges, so IDK if that’s “a lot” of ink, but how about a Platinum Curidas? Not everyone’s favorite but the new gift set looks nice if you want a matte pen instead of a demonstrator.

    I use mine for sketching, as I use platinum black cartridges (that I refill) and the light weight and width is nice for long sessions (I have big hands).

    The real stumper to your inquiry is the lack of screw cap. For whatever reason lots of pens in that pricepoint are screwcaps. You could try a couple of cheaper slip cap options like a Platinum Prefounte, or Pilot Prera.

      I write a lot and for my job I need a pen I can open and start writing right away. That’s why I prefer the screwless cap. With a a screw cap you have to screw the cap back every time otherwise it will dry out very fast.
