I wouldn't have thought that was possible, the pen is SO skinny. Now I need to find one of my Stoways and figure out how to open it up, it looked like a one piece, disposable pen - it is that small - so I assumed there was no screw cap ....

BTW, I changed the link - hope you don't mind - for some reason the original link brought me to a 404 page at the Levenger site.

I struggled with them getting very tattered and folded. It didn't look great if I pulled it out while at a business lunch or at a customer meeting. I started using Levenger's Shirt Pocket Briefcase. Roughly same size. Wallet-grade leather. And you refill it with 3x5 notecards. I've been thinking about ordering the personalized levenger notecards with my contact info on them and using them as stated above by Michael W. Little pricier than the Field Notes route but presents a much more professional appearance. http://tinyurl.com/lqowhd Used to do the same thing with the Moleskin Cahier Journals, which are pretty similar to the Field Notes design.
