[Pen/Pencil Review Post] Pilot US Customer Service
This week’s pen blog – in the spirit of “Good Will Towards Men” – I’m doing a Stage 1 follow up on the Pilot Petit1 review and how Pilot handles at least some customer service issues. I don’t know how they deal with all of them, but this is one of them. I have several […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Jolt 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil
Okay, okay, okay, it’s not a green or red pen… it’s a pencil with green in the barrel. It’s what I had in my stash that fits the December theme. This is the Pentel Jolt 0.7mm mechanical pencil. This was sent to me quite a while ago in the giant box of awesomeness. There won’t […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Ener-Gel Green Ink 0.7mm Point
This week’s pen review goes back to Pentel and another version of the Ener-Gel. This one is a 0.7mm retractable in Green Ink that I picked up as an “impulse” buy at the checkout at Staples. And the green ink because it’s Christmas… I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this pen, I’ve mentioned my tendency for […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Petit1 Fountain Pen – Fine Nib – Apple Green
Today’s pen review starts the pseudo-traditional red and green ink posts. This is also another Pilot Fountain pen – The Petit1 in Apple Green in a fine nib. I want to say I loved this little guy, but I can’t. I’m sorry, Pilot, it could be this one pen, but that’s all I have to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel Sign Pen – Red Ink
One more from the Big Box O’ Pentel from so many moons ago. This is the Pentel Sign Pen in red ink. According to the Pentel Website, this pen has been around for 50 years (wow, 1963 was a pretty powerful year). These pens are also touted as the “original fiber tipped pen”. But that […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot V-Pen Medium Nib Disposable Fountain Pens
Today’s pen review is the Pilot V-Pen disposable fountain pen in a Medium Point nib, which is similar to the Varsity, but different. I’m pretty sure I got these from JetPens, since the Varsities are ones more likely to be found in US stores. The Pilot V-Pen fountain pen is a great little “starter” fountain […]
[Spotlight Post] International Fountain Pen Day
I’m a bad blogger… I didn’t even know November 1st is International Fountain Pen Day. Not until the fine folks at Pen Heaven told me about it. They even asked if I would share some information from their blog with you. Since last night was Halloween, I hope you all had a fun and safe […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Impact Skull Pen with Blue Ink
It’s Halloween week, and that means one last novelty pen. This one, I swear was given to me by my friend, Meredith Hines as part of a survival kit for FenCon. It’s a skull pen (because well, yeah) that only lights up on an impact. Which makes it not only awesome as a pen, but […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Disney’s Nightmare Before Christmas Novelty Ball Point Pens
** NOTE ** I made a mistake – Sarah didn’t give me the below pens, Rie Sheridan Rose did. Not to belittle Sarah or FenKids – but credit where credit is due. Rie is an awesome writer. Go check her out. For the next couple of Mondays I’m going to do Halloween (ish) novelty pens, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Fullst Mechanical Pencil – 0.05mm
Today’s review is another mechanical pencil. This one is from Zebra – which is a little different. I picked this one up at JetPens.com because it was plaid. I dig the plaid. I give you the Zebra Fullst Mechanical Pencil in a 0.05mm lead. This is pencil is just fun. I picked the black barrel […]
