Really interesting
Mine isnt in my front pocket but it is always accessible.
The corollary to this is “always carry a pen that works”…
I’d recommend a bullet pencil.
Why? Pencil are okay, but unless they are mechanical, they need sharpening. So you need a sharpener, too.
Nah, I simply put a clip-on pen holder on my notebooks and either put in a fountain pen or a fisher space-pen in that.
Because it’s smaller than a pen, and will never make inky marks on my clothes or belongings. I don’t bother carrying a sharpener.
A mechanical bullet pencil would be nice, though.
The cap becomes part of the pen and makes it normal sized.
I prefer pens having carried both. Each has its advantages but I simply prefer pens for taking notes.
Does look nice… but still bigger than my bullet pencil, and far too expensive for me.
