"Vector" is an older model I quite liked...except that the barrel had a tendency to split if you overtightened it.

"Reflex" is the newer one...only place I've seen them lately is Staples.

Ah, yes - Reflex it is! I've seen 'em at Staples for maybe seven or eight dollars, I think. Rubber grip, somewhat thin barrel?

I never tried out a Vector, though I remember seeing them. My cheap fountain pens are furrin...one's a no name jobbie I got for what would have been about four or five dollars at a Woolworth's in Germany - it takes standard "international" cartridges. The other's a Waterman with a steel nib that cost me about seven dollars. Can't get those low-end models here. It's about my favorite pen, too...vey forgiving.

I guess I should be ashamed of bein' such a pen geek...
