Saw a thread on Reddit where people were sharing wear-damaged pens from pockets. Mine aren't too bad.

The Hongdian M2 fountain pen has taken the most damage with a good chunk of its finish removed.

The Fisher Bullet rollerball has some scrapes but isn't too bad.

The Titanium+Copper Emisar D3AA flashlight isn't showing any wear at all.

All of these go in my watch/5th pants pocket. They don't need to be pretty as long as they work.

Photo of several items on a textured gray background. From the top down they are: A Titanium and Copper Emisar D3AA flashlight. The titanium body is shiny and silver in color. The area around the button is copper. The button is semi-translucent and has blue and green LEDs visible through it. The bezel of the light is also titanium. A Hongdian M2 fountain pen. It is a dark blue-like color with sort of a grayness to it. In the center of the cap is a large scrape where the blue has been removed, exposing more gray metal underneath. A Fisher Bullet rollerball which is blue in color. It has some scrapes on the cap, and around the edge of the cap are some deeper sections of wear revealing silver-ish metal underneath.
