[Pen/Pencil Review] The BatPen Ballpoint Pen – Black Ink – For Halloween
I love doing novelty pens near holidays. So much fun. This one is a novelty I picked up at Party City. It’s a long, plastic ballpoint pen wrapped into the shape of a bat. They came in black and purple with black ink. I kept the black one. I gave a purple one to my […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Jinhao Ebony Jewel Fountain Pen in Red
So, I forgot the pen I intended to do for today’s blog. Discovered another required bottled ink – which is at home… but have no fear. I have a pen to review! I only acquired a few things this year at the Dallas Pen Show because of budgetary restrictions. This is one of them. I […]
[Pen/PencilReview] Zebra 301A Metal Barrel Fine Point Ballpoint Pen
I’ll start working on the Dallas Pen Show acquisitions soon. This one’s been hanging out in the bag for a while, so I thought I’d get it taken care of. This is the Zebra 301-A Ball Point pen in a red metal barrel with a 0.7mm fine point in black ink. I don’t remember where […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Spotlight Ryan Krusac & Brandon Lee
So this pen blog is going to be a wee bit different. It’s going to be more of a spotlight because it’s pen related and I’m gearing back up for the real reviews. 😎 During FenCon I did my annual whirlwind pilgrimage to the Dallas Pen Show. Where I can usually do the “I’m just […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Zebra Z-Grip Multi-Pack Ballpoint 1.0 mm
Quick note – there won’t be a pen blog next week. This is FenCon week – and next Monday I’ll be incoherent. Just wanted to let you know that up front. And now… Zebra is a great company for a wide range of writing instruments. I like most of them, and try things from them […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Franklin-Christoph Sugar Cane Paper Notebook A6
I’m going with something a little different today – a notebook I picked up after seeing it mentioned in Pen World Magazine. Paper made from sugar cane pulp instead of wood. There were a couple of different vendors mentioned, but the one I picked up was from Franklin-Christoph. Their notebooks come in three sizes and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Monteverde Telescopic Ballpoint Pen With Stylus
Jimmy and I were taking advantage of a sale at Fry’s Electronics last week when we saw this week’s pen (in a two-pack) in their Office Supply Section. This week’s pen is part of Monteverde 365 Everyday Collection. It’s the S-102 Telescopic Ballpoint pen with stylus – also part of the One Touch Stylus line. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Intensity Permanent Porous Point 0.5mm
This is one of the last finds on the last Office Depot run. These are the BIC Intensity permanent pens – fiber tipped in a 0.5mm fine point. These came in a five-pen multi-pack – two black, blue, green, and red. The BIC Intensity permanent pens are kind of cool. They’re long – 5.5″ capped […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] PaperMate ClearPoint Customizable 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil
I picked this interesting mechanical pencil at Office Depot on that binge shopping trip. It intrigued me – and I totally got it wrong, but it’s still kinda cool. It’s the PaperMate Clear Point Customizable Mechanical pencil in 0.7mm lead. There won’t be a writing sample – because well, mechanical pencil. 0.7mm #2 HB Lead […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Spiral Ball Point 0.7mm
This is another pen from my last Office Depot spree, and I found this in the Clearance section – so I hope they’re not discontinuing them completely, just changing packaging or will be available in other retailers. This is the Zebra Spiral Ball Point pen in a Fine point 0.7mm black ink. This is an […]
