[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] 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] 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 […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra SK-Sharbo+1 2 Color Eco Multi-Function Pen
Today’s pen blog is a multi-function pen. I don’t do these often, but this one caught my eye. It’s the Zebra SK Sharbo Eco +1 2 Color Multi-Pen. It’s a mouthful from JetPens. This is one of the Japanese offerings, not necessarily found in the US, except through online portals like JetPens. The “eco” part […]
Shachihata Artline Ergoline 0.5mm Rollerball – Green Ink
This week’s pen is also from JetPens. It’s the Shachihata Artline EgoLine 0.5mm rollerball pen in green ink. This is, I guess, technically (from the name) a pen more designed for artists, but it’s promoted as having a “smooth writing experience”. This pen is basic black (so it goes with just about everything). It’s 5.25″ […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Year of the Dragon Sherpa Fountain Pen Insert
This is a quick and dirty pen blog – because it’s been that kind of Monday. It’s a follow up to the Sharpie Sherpa post – I did get the fountain pen insert from Paradise Pen Company. So I could use the Year of the Dragon Sherpa. I’m not as afraid of messing it up […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel Tradio Apple Green Fountain Pen – Fine Point Nib
Today’s pen review is on the Pentel TRF91 Tradio Fountain Pen. This also arrived at Christmas from my JetPens wishlist. Of course, it’s the green body and fine point, which apparently is no longer available on JetPens. This isn’t like the Stylo I’ve already reviewed. This is an honest to goodness fountain pen. It’s about […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Avant Next 0.5mm Gel Pen – Black Ink
So sometimes I shouldn’t be allowed into Staples. Really. I managed to get out of Office Max and Office Depot relatively unscathed earlier this week. But Staples? Not so much. I did pick up a refill to try in my Pentel Libretto, and a couple of solo Sharpie gel highlighters (blue and green). Then there […]
[Pen/Pencil Post] The Uni-ball Insight 0.7mm Black Ink
This week’s pen review – back to “real†pens. 😎 The Uni-ball Insight Fine Point 0.7mm black ink. I bought this pen in a multi-color pack of red, blue, and black at our Office Depot’s moving sale, I think. They are available at most office supply stores. And I don’t believe they were that expensive. […]
