[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Grand – 0.7mm
This week’s pen review is another Zebra Sarasa. This one is the Grand in what Zebra calls navy blue, but I would call a dark teal. This is one of Zebra’s “business†class pens. This one I picked up at Office Max/Depot in Tyler, Texas as part of the birthday acquisitions. The Sarasa Grand has […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Clip Black – 0.3mm
This week’s pen review is a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Clip – in a 0.3mm point with black gel ink – because they’re good like that. This one came from the JetPens black gel pen sample pack Jimmy bought me for Christmas. The Sarasa Clip has […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Graphite Pencil + Paper Subscription Box
I attempted an unboxing video for this blog. I still stink at selfies – and stink worse at video selfies. I probably didn’t even do the unboxing part right. This was a Christmas present from Jimmy – the Graphite Pencil + Paper January Subscription Box. Be kind to me on this one, but here we […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Updatey, Rerunny Pen Blog – Pentel Again
This week is going to be a little bit of an update and a little bit of a rerun, because it’s just that kind of week. So, first, a quick follow up on the blog of two weeks ago – the PenWorld Retro 51 Fountain Pen. They saw the post and the nib is apparently […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Uni Jetstream 4 + 1 Multi-Function 0.7mm
My friends currently living in Korea came back to the States for the holidays, and brought back pens. One of them is the Uni Jetstream 4 & 1 Color 0.7mm Ballpoint Multi-Pen plus 0.5mm Pencil. This one is the lime green barrel with the black rubber grip. This is rapidly becoming a favorite and a […]

Welcome to Part Two! This week is the Pen World Retro 1951 Tornado Fountain Pen. Pen World Magazine brilliantly partnered with Richardson, Texas, based Retro 1951 to create their classic Tornado style fountain pen with their name in various fonts in black on the relatively unique Retro 1951 white background which – if you’ve seen […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Retro 1951 Tornado Rollerball – Pen World Edition
I now have a set of pens that I am probably going to have to do a two-parter on. Between the Dallas Pen Show and Christmas I have acquired the Retro 1951 Tornado roller ball and fountain pen built for Pen World Magazine. It mixes my two loves – reading about the pens and actually […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Happy New Year – 2020 edition
We are all going to be doing “vision” jokes for the next year. I wish I could say everything was going to be on time and brilliant – because it’ll be one or the other, and sometimes neither, consistent might be a thing. But I promise to do my best. There will always be things […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Reindeer Bird Christmas Ballpoint Pen
It’s not a holiday season without at least one funny novelty pen. This one was from the last trip to DAISO. It’s silly and fluffy and cheap. I had to have it. This is a fluffy brown, duck-billed, flamingo thing wearing reindeer antlers and a jingle bell ball point pen. The ink point is a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Precise V5 Multi-Color 10-Pack
This is a day late because 1) Thanksgiving Week; 2) much work/life balancing; 3) we went to see Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary last night. WORTH IT! So I’m doing a wee bit of revisit. This week is the the Pilot Precise V5 extra fine in ten colors – because COLORS. These are 0.5mm […]
