I'm going to teach you how to make a $800 pen for a few bucks. This pen will beat the pants off of any pen you currently have, or can buy. I've tried the G2/Monte Blanc hack, it's crap. This is the hack you have been waiting for. When you are finished, you will have the most superior writing implement at any price.

The Jetstream RT Bold 1.0 is my favorite pen for general use. You show what is now called a "Jetstream RT" (which stands for retractable) The Jetstream has a cap (no clicker) (at least not in the US). I use both styles. The refills are not the same length, and thus are not interchangeable. I have never seen that particular white top model Jetstream RT in the US. I like it's looks.

Been buying these for many years for myself and DW. I looked for a Pentel Excalibur after seeing your video. It is discontinued by Pentel, so other than second hand market, do you know any retail options selling them new? I need a barrel with a grip that is best for dry fingers such as that one which has a nice grip and looks awesome.
Why did you chose the jetstream over the signo?
Are there any good alternatives to the pentel libretto or excaliber? Because it only comes with the mechanical pencil where I live.
Does a Mont Blanc refill fit in the Pentel Libretto? If so does it write well because of the extra weight?
Does the added weight actually help it write better or does it just look better?
I bought a pack of Uniball Jetstreams but it looks different than the one you showed.
Can you do the Monte Blanc hack with this pen instead of a G2?
To value pens that much, you must have been seriously traumatized by a childhood writing experience. I suggest you take the "$800 bucks" you "saved" and put it toward a better camera.
Awesome!
