Here we go. Pen review day. Woo hoo! I’m getting stuff done on schedule again! Today’s pen was from my last order from JetPens. This is a Sakura Ballsign Knock Gel Pen in a brown/black ink with a 0.04mm point. This is an interesting little pen. It’s a slimline retractable gel pen but with a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Labor Day 2015 Edition
I’ve spent most of today reorganizing and cleaning out the Master Closet – we have another closet on the agenda. So I’m a bit wiped out by THAT. But in taking advantage of Labor Day sales, I’ve added to the stash of things to review over the next few weeks. I think I’ve also come […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The rOtring Skynn Ballpoint Pen in Red
My first blog post on the new computer. Yay! I’m liking the feel of the computer, which segues into this week’s pen review. The rOtring Skynn ball point pen. I’ve used some of the rOtring pencils before – they’re a favorite of Jimmy’s, but this one was different – and I was looking for an […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Jinhao/Edelstein Revisit
Oh, hi… Monday, you’re slipping away from me. I should try to get something done… But first, a couple of interesting notes: The Pelikan Edelstein long cartridge DOES fit in the Jinhao fountain pen barrel. HUZZAH. The Jinhao’s – which I’ve reviewed before – have a sturdier clip and a better grip than the Pelikan […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] State of the Blog
Today is pen blog day. And this is going to be a wee bit different. Last week I helped man a table at an event for my day job – and pillaged the other tables before I left I have a giant pile of promotional pens. So over the next few weeks, I’m going to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Uni-Ball Air Rollerball Multi-Pack
Last week I had to pick some notebooks up from Staples (they were on serious sale for Back-To-School), and I was sent unattended. Always a danger, because hello, PENS ON SALE! Not only were these on sale, they said “NEW!” Yeah, I had to buy a package of Uni-Ball Air – in the Black, Blue, […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] The Optimus Felt Tip 2 Pack
Last week I hit up a Dollar General for some inexpensive plastic ware to transport cookies to a show. If I’m doing that, I’m also going to hit up the “Back to School” and office supply aisle. Which is where I found this misprinted set, and had to have it – for a $1. The […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Hi-Tec-C Maica in Black
I just found a pen I picked up from JetPens.com a while back that I haven’t reviewed yet. It’s another in the Pilot Hi-Tec-C line. This one the Maica line – which is a “fashion” type stick rollerball pen. The fashion part is in the logo medallion and the point size on the smoky cap. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Atlantis Exact Fine Point Ballpoint
I found the Bic Atlantis Exact fine point multi-pack in blue, black, and red on a sale rack in Office Max. Since it was a rare BIC fine point pen in the US, I decided I needed to try them. You know… for the blog, of course. These pens are much more to my liking […]
