J.L. Lawson & Co. EDC | Mark Pen

A great everyday carry pen shouldn’t be too big, too small, or too light. The point is to know you have it in your possession without it being cumbersome, but it must also have some element of desirability, otherwise it’s just a pen about which you won’t give a damn. The EDC|Mark is precision machined in the USA out of solid brass or stainless steel and comes loaded with a smooth Parker QUINKflow black ballpoint cartridge. It weighs in at 40 grams, so there’s also some good heft to it. At 4″ long with the cap screwed on, it’s not too big, nor too small. Fully deployed, it measures 5″ in length that feels good while writing. There are even two rubber o-rings for water resistance. This is one not to lose.
