1st: Ζ# (@Zeta_Sharp)

The 1st one is me. My pick is Ingenuity Slim by Parker. Parker 5th technology, a new writing mode is inside. Simply saying, it's luxury fine writer. Apparently, the flexible resin tip is guided by an engraved metallic hood.

A metal body painted in matte black accented by a blue ring. The iconic arrow clip features a sharper design to match the slim body.

Above all, the machining precision is amazing, with absolutely seamless transition between the section and barrel.

I love this pen.

2nd: 縞 (@ongr_stationery)

縞's pick is rOtring tiku. tiku... cute name.

From what I found, it's fountain pen without nib...? He uses this for drafting.

Irregular fragments with stripes and red accent looks very cool! I like such a randomized pattern.

3rd: haya (@haya19280)

haya's pick is Pilot Automatic.

This is a discontinued mechanical pencil by Pilot. The black base peeks through from beneath the silver outer parts, and the grip is etched and slightly recessed.

Combined with its internal mechanics, the design feels highly industrial and inorganic, yet carries a touch of nostalgia.

4th: 骸骨 (@Gaikotsu013)

骸骨's pick is Xezo Maestro.

Mother-of-pearl inlay; This decoration utilizes the nacreous layer of shells, changing its color depending on the light and angle.

Pairing that with gold trim... it goes beyond being just a pen and feels like a piece of jewelry that fits right in the palm of your hand.

5th: カサゴマン (@kasagoman123)

カサゴマンさん's pick is DARE WORKS Gravity.Mobius, evangelion collaboration model.

Gravity.Mobius with Evangelion Unit 01 color. I have never seen evangelion, so I don't know the details...but it is equal to TenSura collaboration model (it doesn't exist yet) right?

I'm actually interested in the standard model myself, so I might pick it up someday.

6th: Asou (@7Asou7)

Asou's pick is Sailor rencontre, 3rd limited model Terre.

The deep marble pattern—reminiscent of the ocean that covers 70% of the Earth's surface—is absolutely mesmerizing.

The marble patterns are a product of chance during the injection molding process, making each one truly unique. It is literally a once-in-a-lifetime "rencontre" (encounter).

It looks stunning enough in photos, so I can only imagine how incredible it must be to hold it in person. I feel like I might get sucked into the bottomless swamp of marble patterns.

7th: ぐりぶん (@guribun_0518)

ぐりぶん's pick is Nicholas Hemingway Wooden-body mechanical pencil.

It features a slim, straight, and minimalist body, stripping away all ornamentation except for a subtle logo. This simplicity allows the rich texture of the wood grain to truly stand out. The metal fittings and the wooden body harmonize perfectly, creating a serene, beautiful pen.

8th: ペンシルマニア (@uH5nH9wjfm57896)

ペンシルマニア's pick is Wahl Eversharp, made in the U.S.

Amazingly, it dates back to the 1920s or 1930s.

It's a retractable mechanical pencil with a silver-plated barrel. Antique... I can just picture ペンシルマニア writing letters in a quiet study, relying solely on the glow of an oil lamp.

I feel the history of mechanical pencil.

9th: 朧 vioel 永遠 (@oborovioel)

朧 vioel 永遠's pick is Pineider La Grande Bellezza, limited color arco violet。(Is this the correct way to separate it...?)

In my reply, I initially compared this purple gradation to a nebula, but with conversation and seeing it again, "amethyst" definitely hits closer to home.

The arch of the clip and the curve of the grip are incredibly well-crafted. I'm particularly interested in the window-like design between the section and the barrel.

10th: ばおり (@_BAORI_)

ばおり's pick is kaweco original.

Kaweco is famous for Special or Sports, but ばおり selected Original.

Having been discontinued once and later revived, this series deeply embodies Kaweco’s philosophy from that era. The octagonal body is a time-honored icon of Kaweco, established long ago.

Conclusion

First of all, Thank you for all of the participants, retweeters, and so on.

It’s fascinating to see that everyone owns such amazing pens, each choosing their own "coolest pen" based on their unique taste.

In addition, I found obsessions in the fact, all of the twenty-several participants has defferent thoughts...
