I had a pen recently which I really liked. I didn’t buy it myself, it was just one of those pens that wandered in and then out of my purview as pens tend to do. I did look it up once, and it was not super expensive, I seem to recall it being around $10 I think. Anyway, it’s gone now, and I want to get another one, but I’ve apparently blanked on the name of the brand (or model, I’m not sure whether the word I saw was a brand or model). I _thought_ it was called “Tru,” with a line over the u. But googling turns up no results for that. So here’s the longshot question. Any idea what brand or model of pen this might have been? What I know about it is: It wrote real nice. Its name was I think probably something like “tru” with a line over the u. It cost around $10 I think. As to appearance, it wasn’t like a shiny silver pen, it had rather a kind of industrial plastic-and-metal look and feel. ETA It was not tru-stone. ---

TUL. It was TUL. Thanks everyone. 😉 (And I was misremembering the price by a large amount.)
