[Pen/Pencil Review] Sakura Ballsign Knock Gel Pen – Brown Ink 0.04mm
Here we go. Pen review day. Woo hoo! I’m getting stuff done on schedule again! Today’s pen was from my last order from JetPens. This is a Sakura Ballsign Knock Gel Pen in a brown/black ink with a 0.04mm point. This is an interesting little pen. It’s a slimline retractable gel pen but with a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Platinum OLEeNU Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm
Today’s blog is a mechanical pencil from Platinum. The last thing I reviewed from Platinum was the Preppy Fountain Pen, so I thought it was time to try something else. This is the Platinum OLEeNU Mechanical Pencil. At first blush, this is a typical mechanical pencil. It has a clear barrel with a frosted rubber […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Lamy Tip Rollerball Medium Point
This week’s pen review is a “nicer” rollerball (but fun) pen from Lamy. I picked up the Lamy Tipo Rollerball from JetPens in December. It’s referred to as a “medium” point, which I think is a 0.7mm. Part of what makes it “fun” is, in fact, the box the pen comes in. The Lamy Tipo […]
[Pen/Pencil Review Post] Zebra Sarasa Study Retractable Pen
This week’s pen review is a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Study – in a 0.5mm point and black gel ink – because they’re good like that. I picked this one up on a JetPens after Christmas shopping order. The Sarasa Study has a nice, dark black […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The JetPens Chibi Mini-Fountain Pen
Today’s pen review is another small fountain pen. This one is JetPens.com Chibi Mini-Fountain Pen. Which is a slight redundancy since “chibi” means “small” in Japanese. This cute little guy has JetPens.com embossed on the clip. This cute little guy is a bit longer than the Pilot Petit fountain pens. The pen is about 4.75″ […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot V7 Hi-Techpoint Roller Ball – Green Ink
The last pen review of 2014… where does the time go? And DUDE who’d’ve thought we’d be here? This is Science Fiction years. But here we are. This last pen for 2014 was something I saw in passing on JetPens and then bought as stocking stuffers for Jimmy and myself. I give you the Pilot […]
[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] J. Herbin Lie de The (Tea Brown) Ink
So last week, I talked about the J. Herbin roller ball hybrid pen that I really like. Because I have some family stuff to deal with this week, I’m just going to add to that by talking about the Lie de Thé (Tea Brown) ink from the same company. You saw it a bit in […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] J. Herbin Refillable Hybrid Roller Ball – Medium Point
Today’s pen is something a little different. It’s a J. Herbin refillable roller ball pen – medium point. This is a pen I picked up from my last JetPens.Com order along with the current ink – also from J. Herbin. You’d think there’d not be anything special about a refillable roller ball – well, this […]
