Procyon is a solid pen, but a bit of a Platinum cash grab a few years after canceling the $30 Cool/Balance models. Same quality (albeit different design) at twice the price.
Despite the fact that you couldn't flag down even the smallest and lowest-flying of airplanes with a Procyon, I too treasure mine as a boring little oddity in my collection. It's a perfect feature machine; sturdy enough to bludgeon someone with but cheap enough that you wouldn't feel bad about the blood that might get on it. Also, it draws up ink really high on the feed and that's neat.
Yeah great point, that's another thing I didn't mention—the finish wipes clean so you don't have to be fussy about using it after eating or bludgeoning someone (or both, in the case of lunchtime brawls).

I mean penflation has hit us all pretty hard the past year. Hopefully it's finally leveling off.
