The pen on the table on Shabbos

Hi,

Where a pen or other kli shem'lachto l'issur was left on a table before Shabbos, and there is no reason to remove it other than the fact that its presence appears to detract from the honour of Shabbos, one should leave it there. The fact that we don't move it is a greater tribute to the honour of Shabbos.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igros Moshe Orach Chaim 5:22:31)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
