[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Precise V5 RT – Classic Colors
I often do revisits of pens or different versions. This is another Pilot Precise V5 RT (retractable) in a classic color 3-pack – red, blue, black. That I picked up on a clearance table at Staples when I “needed” to get a narrow-ruled legal pad for a job thing – because I have preferences about […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Hello Old Friends 3-Color Multi-Pen 2 pack
Several weeks ago, we had the impulsive trip to Kinokuniya and Daiso in Carrollton. One of the many purchases was this adorable 2 pack of 3-color ballpoint pens with bears on them waving and saying, “Hello” on one side and “Hello my old friends” on the back – and there is a front and back […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Excalibur – Black and Stainless – Vintage
This week is a slightly unusual pen review. It’s more of a “vintage†review. I’m looking at two versions of the Pentel Excalibur which have been permanently. The numbers are going to be FUN. But there’s an interesting (to me) story of how these came to be. As many of you know, Jimmy has a […]

Sometimes I find the most random things at Half-Price Books, this past week it was the Splendid Fountain Pens by OOLY in blue and black – so I had to get them. Just for kicks. And because I was “celebrating†finishing up a thing for work. And I have an office supply…problem. I didn’t need […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC 3 Color Pen Plus Pencil
I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine point pens and pencil. I’m still NOT a fan of the default 1.0mm ballpoints and 0.7mm pencils are okay but… However… sometimes you gotta try stuff when it looks interesting. This
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Kirari 0.7mm Retractable
This week’s pen review takes a look at the Pentel Kirari Get. This one is a 0.7mm retractable with Ener-Gel ink refills. This line came from Tokyo Pen Shop and come in pink, purple, and gold. The gold is a bit beige-y for me, but for what I’m doing it’s the right color for me. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC 4-Color Pen + Stylus
I know I’ve complained loudly about pen manufactures (BIC and Papermate, I’m looking at you) defaulting to larger and larger ballpoint sizes. I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine points. I’m still NOT a fan of the default 1.0mm ballpoints. However… sometimes you gotta try stuff when it looks interesting. This looked interesting. […]
