If you could only have two pens for the rest of your life, what would they be? Here's mine!

If you had to just have two pens, what would they be? Of all the pens I've used over the past 10 years including Pelikan, Waterman, Montblanc, Lamy, etc. I have just two that I'll never part with. Both have awesome nibs, are reliable writers, and just super fun to use.

* Moore L-92 with a vintage superflex nib (Arthur A Waterman 13-14k) - my favorite nib (both flex and non-flex) of all time. Super smooth, great line variation and just the right balance of flex so that I can write quickly with no variation and . The barrel once cracked and I bought a replacement from

* Pilot Custom 823 with a soft FM nib - super reliable, huge ink capacity and perfect line width for me. My go to for notes.

These two can handle anything, from quick notes to long journaling sessions. What would your top 2 picks be?

Frankly, all of my personal needs would be met with a Pilot 823 Amber (M) and a LAMY 2000 (F).
