Wallet, key fab, note book, watch, fountain pen and a Stop Box. This is what I take out the door with me daily.

Since I retired I do not carry anything everyday but, I do keep this pen in my post it notes holder on my desk. I use it almost every day.
I don't remember which kit it is but I have several of this kit that I keep around.

I cannot turn any more, but I have 35+ pens I rotate weekly

that I really enjoy. This is the one the last few days: Not postable, but after 7 years the ink still flows, feels good in my hand, a pure desk pen, simple and nice. Closed end, turned finial, nothing special of the timber - just appealing to me.

A great looking pen. I've always liked closed end kits.
 
For the past year or so it is a blue and Australian burl hybrid that I got from Exotic Blanks at the 2024 MPG on a gunmetal Magnetic Graduate kit from PSI. I use a blue, broad point, Pilot G2 refill in it. The CA finish and plating have held up very nicely considering it is in my shirt pocket every day! - Dave

PS. My favorite (at this point in time anyway) is a similar pen made from a red and Australian burl hybrid from Exotic Blanks built on a hybrid kit with a Magnetic Graduate lower and a Diamond Knurl Cap and clip with a custom cabochon. Same kind of Pilot G2 refill. I only carry it on special occasions!

For so many many many years I carried this Sierra (one on the right) with the copper braiding and copper kit. That pen has made many sales for me over the years. But the kit's plating has worn terribly over the years and I really do not carry pens any more. But I did retire it to my desk and still use it but being last year I made myself an IBEW version with watch dial and also lightning bolts.

I also now make them with just lightning bolts in copper and also black bolts.
