General Pen Story
Well I guess I have a fetish or something for these Japanese "short/long" pens. Must be something about the way they look, feel, fit in the pocket, etc.
Anyone else own some of these?

From the 70s or so.

The cool think about most of these, espically the Pilot pens, is they they are often date stamped. They'll usually have something like H176 on the nib or something. Indicating January of 1976.

I have one in Stealth Black

I discovered the long shorts quite recently. Before I was "into" them, I had a couple of the Elites but traded them off. Now all I have is the Stealth Black. I love the smoothness of the surgical steel nib - even on the fine model that I have. I'll try and post a pic later.

Is that a pen that is like the MYU 701, but all in black?

Nice Pens
I don't own one, but they look pretty nice.
Does Pilot still make them, or are those old?
