I wanted to take notes on what you said here, but I forgot to bring my Bic for Her pen today so I can't. :(
Highly recommend the pens though, I bought them based on the Amazon reviews...
I generally agree with you. Except in those cases where the only difference is that the "female" version is pink/purple/glittery, and then it's pointless.
Amazon's reviews for "BIC for Her" pens are amusing reading.
Even more Amazon reviews for the retractible version
> I accidentally grabbed one of these pens (the lovely purple one) out of my wife's purse and instantly got my period. Now I'm feeling bloated and weepy.
> For those who haven't actually tried this pen, it is easy to make fun of. I LOVE this pen. When I click on it, it sometimes releases an eraser-sized nub of chocolate. At other times, a Fabio-like voice in dulcet tones says "Math eez hard. But you can do it" or "Take a break. Ez time too watch Dr. Phil!". It really just gives me the extra motivation to go on with my day. Also, it has amazing built-in smart technology! When I see my patients using this pen, the pen automatically detects the awkward situation because it knows to say "Do not worry, the real doctor will be in soon." Thankfully, the pen then signals to my male colleague, who will arrive with his "For Him - Bic Magnum" pen, designed to write OVER "For her" scribbles. Lives saved. Thanks, Bic!!!
This may be a ~~trigger~~ rabbit hole for some but I absolutely stand by my day-to-day work pen. Pilot Precise V5 RT. It's a thing of beauty; writes a sharp black line, comfortable grip, retractable so I can click it incessantly. They may not last a lifetime like fountain pens or whatever, but they blow my standard office's pens out of the water.
I had a minor outpatient surgery today and my doctor whipped out a fountain pen to sign his side of the consent documents. I was so startled I commented “oh! A fellow fountain pen user! Nice pen!”
It was a totally unexpected fun little chat we had, pre-anesthesia, about pens. Made me happy.
It was especially unexpected because the Navy has rules and regulations about types of pen and ink that are allowed to be used (spoiler: NOT fountain pens! black or blue-black ink only in ball point pens) and this was a military doctor at a military hospital. I get strange looks at work when I use my fountain pen because it’s so SO unusual for Sailors to use anything other than this basic skillcraft pen .
Wow, this is such a perfect fit for OPs requests:
​
> The ink had to dry within five seconds and be guaranteed not to smear or blot. Printed on paper, the ink had to withstand being submerged underwater for 48 hours and two doses of chemical bleach.
> the pen’s unusually slight size — 5 and 1/8 inches long
Here's the amazon link for the fine point, for the lazy ones: https://www.amazon.com/Skilcraft-Government-Retractable-Point-7520-00-935-7135/dp/B0055KSNYK
That’s accurate. Equality isn’t really conducive to capitalism (or conservative theocracy). As long as there’s division amongst genders, companies can make gendered products and make more money, usually charging more for the “lady” version.
Bic Pens for HER (they're normal pens)
"BIC Cristal For Her has an elegant design - just for Her! It features a thin barrel designed to fit a women's hand. It has a diamond engraved barrel for an elegant and unique feminine style. "
Read the reviews, they are hysterical.
You need a pen...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WGD13U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_GGAEFMK32ENVRYENVDVP
...and a pocket knife....
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AU6GRH4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_80QWZ5DDV2C4BEGQ5T42
In the US, you can get paint pens intended for fixing skufs in the anodizing on guns. Better match and lasts longer than sharpie.
I think this is an example.

You can order those exact pens from Amazon - they really are very good. Skilcraft, the company that makes them, hires blind employees to put the pens together. You can also dissamble the pen and use it to launch the inner ink tube as a projectile.
Source: worked in an office of former Army brats, none of whom was personally in the service, and we ordered these pens anyway.
$50? ... They are cheaper than that. Here's the first result from Amazon for under $20.
Space Penって以前から2000円ぐらいで売ってるけどな
実は1本持っていますが書き心地はごく普通のボールペン
耐水紙のメモ帳と一緒に持ち歩いている
ただし耐候性が問題になるような場面ではまだ使ったことがない
This is the original listing with the thousands of funny reviews. The product is "out of stock" now so it won't appear when you search amazon directly.

I feel you...Idiot-scratched my Dan Wesson 1911 on first re-assembly after cleaning.
Scrub it best you can and then apply some of this...you'll forget about it
I use this, https://www.amazon.com/SKILCRAFT-Aviator-Multi-function-Medium-7520-01-564-9906/dp/B001KKPGHQ. It's very lightweight yet well built and has red and black pens along with a pencil, which i use often so needed. It has the stylus you require. Unless you want a pen with more EDC functions then pen/stylus?
That's some crazy pricing. Amazon US has them for less than US$10 for a pack of 12, with free shipping. Not that it helps you if you're in Europe. Is there anyone in the US you could get to send them to you?
Aluminum doesn't rust, but I doubt a sharpie would stop oxidation. I use the touch up pen (Amazon link) on everything from motorcycles to guns. I highly recommend picking one up. https://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-Super-Black-Touch-Up/dp/B00JSAE0ZY/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1532403216&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=gun+paint+pen&dpPl=1&dpID=310QLbMZkFL&ref=plSrch
It's cliche, but a space pen is pretty fitting for your use case.
Gets quite conpact when you close it, feels very premium (all aluminum construction), is essentially the profile of a regular pen, and has all the space pen gimicks to top it off (writes upside down, underwater, etc.).
It unfortunately does have a very much rounded body, however.
Edit: Also >$20 before shipping or if you have prime.
I have recommended these several times and they have all commented back here for the great recommendation based on the strong clip and the always write no matter what durability.
Can not beat them for the price and quality. Clip holds up great I clip it to the bottom buttons of my polo and/or in my pants every day in my fast paced work day and it never comes off.
Here is how I carry my pen normally - https://imgur.com/GCywdlo
Why carry a pen when you can carry two pens and a pencil?
I wasn't sure if I would use the red ink but it comes in handy more often than I thought.
You can get a touch up marker. A lot of gun stores have them. https://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-Super-Black-Touch-Up/dp/B00JSAE0ZY
I'm a man, but when I think of the weirdest product marketed for a specific gender, it has to be the "BIC Cristal For Her Ball Pen." I just don't understand why a pen is marketed for a specific gender...
The amount the military pays for arbitrary items. Especially less than good quality items.
https://www.amazon.com/Skilcraft-Government-Retractable-Point-7520-00-935-7135/dp/B0055KSNYK
Lol i didnt think id find it but yeah. These things are cheap, about 1 in every box is defective.
Wait till you see the price of things like furniture for an office. You need a wrench roll? Hope you got 2k lying around for 10 wrenches when you only need that pesky 9/16ths
The Rotring 600 with Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 is the forever pen combo for me.
The Rotring 600 is available on amazon.ca in the price range of 36-55$ Depending on the color you want
Cosmetic scratches. At the very least fill that area with some automotive top coat, but a better fix* is getting a matt black paint pen like this and then putting top coat on:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JSAE0ZY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
​
Fixing yourself will never net a factory like paint job, thus if you do want it perfect I would bring it to a shop that specializes in repainting bikes to get it repainted. This might be the best idea since Canyon colorways are pretty boring IMO
Now if it was me, I would actually sell the bike. I am that particular about my bikes
Birch wood Casey super black flat black not an exact match and it don’t last long but it turns it black https://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-Super-Black-Touch-Up/dp/B00JSAE0ZY/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=252VDKAZJCTNS&keywords=birchwood+casey&qid=1660439526&sprefix=birchwoo%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-4
That looks like a pure scratch from the directions of the marks. I would get some matte black paint like this and fill it in or at the very lease get some automotive top coat and seal it granted that will give it a shiny look
