[Pen/Pencil Blog] Zebra Sarasa Push Clip – Viridian Green – 0.3mm
This week’s pen review is a different color to a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Clip – in a 0.3mm point with Viridian Green gel ink – because they’re good like that. I am amused by the name because not far from here is a planned community […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Of Sorts…Thoughts and Plans
I know I’ve been a bit AWOL on the pen blog. My Day Job is an “Essential Service” and our staff are essential employees. My brain is full of all things Day Job related — I’m starting to get through the first wave of utter exhaustion and starting to regain a bit of equilibrium. I […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Revisit (sort of) of the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Maica – 0.4mm
I bet you realized there hasn’t been a pen blog this week. You would be right. Day Job is eating my brain this week – along with the suddenly blooming ornamental pear trees and a bunch of other things. Hello, Spring. Nice to see you. Anyway, in the group of pens I got for Christmas […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Retro 51 Pen World Fountain Pen Update
A few weeks back a couple of weird things happened when I reviewed the Pen World Retro 51 fountain pen. I had a few issues with the nib at the time – the ink flow struggled. I posted by review, and was almost immediately contacted through Twitter by Retro 51 to have it sent back […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Grand – 0.7mm
This week’s pen review is another Zebra Sarasa. This one is the Grand in what Zebra calls navy blue, but I would call a dark teal. This is one of Zebra’s “business†class pens. This one I picked up at Office Max/Depot in Tyler, Texas as part of the birthday acquisitions. The Sarasa Grand has […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Clip Black – 0.3mm
This week’s pen review is a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Clip – in a 0.3mm point with black gel ink – because they’re good like that. This one came from the JetPens black gel pen sample pack Jimmy bought me for Christmas. The Sarasa Clip has […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Graphite Pencil + Paper Subscription Box
I attempted an unboxing video for this blog. I still stink at selfies – and stink worse at video selfies. I probably didn’t even do the unboxing part right. This was a Christmas present from Jimmy – the Graphite Pencil + Paper January Subscription Box. Be kind to me on this one, but here we […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Updatey, Rerunny Pen Blog – Pentel Again
This week is going to be a little bit of an update and a little bit of a rerun, because it’s just that kind of week. So, first, a quick follow up on the blog of two weeks ago – the PenWorld Retro 51 Fountain Pen. They saw the post and the nib is apparently […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Uni Jetstream 4 + 1 Multi-Function 0.7mm
My friends currently living in Korea came back to the States for the holidays, and brought back pens. One of them is the Uni Jetstream 4 & 1 Color 0.7mm Ballpoint Multi-Pen plus 0.5mm Pencil. This one is the lime green barrel with the black rubber grip. This is rapidly becoming a favorite and a […]

Welcome to Part Two! This week is the Pen World Retro 1951 Tornado Fountain Pen. Pen World Magazine brilliantly partnered with Richardson, Texas, based Retro 1951 to create their classic Tornado style fountain pen with their name in various fonts in black on the relatively unique Retro 1951 white background which – if you’ve seen […]
