[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 […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Retro 1951 Tornado Fountain Pen – Pen World Edition
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] 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] Yookers Yooth 549 Scarlet Red Refillable Fiber Tip Pen
This is the second pen I picked up in New Orleans. This one from Scriptura, which is more in the Garden District. Scriptura is more of a stationary/paper store with a few pens. I was going to pick something up anyway, but this week’s pen caught my eye near the register. This week’s pen is […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] New Orleans Trip
I know I missed the story blog this week – good reason, we were on vacation in New Orleans. While there we hit two places that I’ve only heard about on Pen World Magazine – Papier & Plume and Scriptura. Papier Plume is a higher end pen store with some notebooks/stationary. Scriptura is a stationary […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel PH 803 Super Multi 8
Today’s pen blog is a multi-function pen that Jimmy found for me somewhere in his quest for all thing Pentel P205. This is the Pentel PH 803 Super Multi 8 multi writing function instrument. That’s the only thing that I can call it. This is slightly different from other multi-functions. This one is a 2 […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Opt – Stardust – 0.7mm ballpoint
We return to Pilot this week late, as seems usual for this time of year.. This is the Pilot Opt ballpoint pen with the Stardust body. This is just a darned cool looking pen. This is one of Pilot’s “fashion” ballpoint pen lines. The Stardust is a navy blue barrel with silver glitter for a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Sharks are Still Cool When They’re Pens
I’m doing a rerun this week because 1) I’m looking at another color version of this pen; 2) I kinda forgot yesterday was Tuesday. Why did I forget that? Because I’m in the middle of teaching a 3-day – with some help – class for work. It’s been a huge undertaking for many reasons. It […]
