I'm a journalist. I write a lot. Right now I use a kaweco perkeo all black fountain pen. But I want to upgrade. I'm looking for a light weight no screw fountain pen in a higher price class. It has to be durable, can take a lot on ink, an edc and around the 100 dollar mark. What do you guys recommend?

I got my Lamy 2000 for about $100 on eBay iso you can sometimes find a deal on what is my favorite, same for both of my Pilot Vanishing Points. Alternatively, the Platinum Curidas goes for about $50.

The market for no-screw pens above a certain price point gets pretty slim from what I know. I imagine it's because many, if not most, pens are made from resin at a certain level.

Good luck!

Seconding the Lamy 2000, been using it for a couple of years now. Great pen, writes excellent.
