[Pen/Pencil Review] Staples Tru Red Retractable 0.5mm Assorted Colors
Before FenCon, there was an unexpected trip to Staples – because it was a convenient side trip. I picked up a couple of things on sale. One was a 5-pack of their new line Tru Red ™ retractable gel pens. I had to try them, because I am me. I bought this package because I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Precise V5 RT Lime Green
I know, I know… I just did a Pilot Precise V5 RT. This is another Pilot Precise V5 RT (retractable) in a lovely lime green that I picked up during the last Kinokuniya trip. The things about lime green pens is the tinting of the colors. At first I thought it was a different type […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel RTX 0.3mm
This week’s pen review goes back to Pentel and another version of the Ener-Gel. This one is a 0.3mm retractable EnerGel. It was on “Back to School” special, and I’m a sucker for super fine points and sales. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this pen, I’ve mentioned my tendency for retractables on the work desk. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The LEGO(tm) Pen – 3-Pack
It’s time to get back on track. I was off kilter last week, muddled through and now I’m back – or at least back-ish. Trying to get everything back to kilter (whatever kilter actually is). So, pens! Let’s talk about pens. This week, we’re taking a look at LEGO™ pens I picked up at Half-Price […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra bLen 0.5mm Blue Ink
This week’s pen is a new design from Zebra. I picked this up at Kinokuniya on the way back from my Favorite Ex-CoWorker’s wedding. If we’d thought it through, we’d’ve left for the wedding earlier and stopped on the way UP. But this one is something interesting…and I’m looking forward to working with it more […]
[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] Uni Signo 207 RT Apple Green and Purple
I was out running some errands this weekend and popped into Dollar Tree. Found this double pack of UNI pens – they had a few options, but I found the green and purple and decided to check them out again. And not sure I’ve done the straight 207s. I’ve discussed the BLXs in the past, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Hybrid Technica 0.4mm Black Stick Pen
This week, I’m reviewing the Pentel Hybrid Technica 0.4mm gel ink pen in black. I either picked up this pen at Asel Art Supply because they ran a little bit cheaper because they were “loose” and not in Pentel packaging or at Kinokuniya. They’re also available (along with refills) at JetPens.com and the pen averages […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Prefill 5 Color Multi Pen Body Component – Belle Red
In my Christmas stocking this year was something I’d forgotten I’d put on a JetPens wishlist. It’s a Zebra Prefill 5 Color Multi Pen Body Component – Belle Red and five inserts in a random assortment of colors in 0.5mm points. The Belle Red is a female “Snoopy” holding a heart, which makes it perfect […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.4mm Green Ink
‘Tis the Season to be totally behind – on everything. The pen blog is no exception. I’m constantly amazed by the pens I’ve managed to NOT review even though I’ve apparently had them a long time. I’ve done a couple of reviews on versions of the Pilot Hi-Tec-C. This is the 0.4mm green one – […]
