[Pen/Pencil Review] The Giant Christmas Novelty Ball Point Pen – Love, Mom
‘Tis the season to be jolly. This week I’m reviewing a novelty Christmas pen. My mother gave me – as a joke – one of the Giant Christmas Ball Point pens you can get for $1 at any CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid or any other like retailer. This pen comes from Greenbriar International out of Chesapeake, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The UNI Jetstream Premier 1.0 mm Ballpoint
Last week we were graced with an Office Depot reward certificate, which meant I was given about $27 with which to buy some new writing instruments to review. I’m starting with a UNI-ball Jetstream Premier. The UNI Jetstream Premier is a retractable ballpoint 1.0 mm pen. It runs 5.5″ long with a slick clip and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot FriXon Caused Me Friction
I’ve seen a lot of chatter on many of the pen blogs and sales sites on the awesomeness of the Pilot FriXon Erasable Gel Pen. A lot of people seem to really like this pen, and why not? It’s a gel pen that comes in a variety of colors – and now highlighters. It’s a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Smaller is Better – For Editing – the Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.25mm
This is the last one of the “Smallest Pen” mini-series. Though not small in length, it is the finest point I’ve knowingly used. Today’s pen is the Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.25mm in brown ink. With the onrush of Steampunk in literature, I’ve had “brown” days…and I don’t have TONS of brown ink pens. At first I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Going to Extremes – The OHTO Pieni Needle-point 0.3mm Ballpoint Pen
Last week I wrote about the largest pen I now own – the Lehr Arts .50 caliber handmade bullet pen. This week I’ll begin a short series on the smallest pens I now own. Jimmy and I did a run on JetPens.com last week. I wanted to do an experiment to see if there really […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel RSVP Ballpoint
I’ve probably written about these before, but I’m drawing a blank today… so bear with me if this is a “re-review” or a revisit to my favorite ballpoint pen. Yes, I have a favorite ballpoint pen – at least my favorite to date… The Pentel R.S.V.P. fine point. This is an inexpensive “everyday” pen that […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Sharpie Liquid Pencil
My friend, Meredith, asked me if I’ve reviewed the Sharpie Liquid Pencil yet. I haven’t, and in fact, I hadn’t used the Liquid Pencil in a while and had to go find it in my massive stash of pens and pencils – or, more accurately, I purloined my husband’s from his desk. We both played […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra R-301 Rollerball Pen
The Zebra R-301 Arrow Tip rollerball pen was on sale at Office Depot this weekend, so I picked one up to try – needing something to review this week. I tagged along with my husband who needed adhesive dots for the FenCon Art Show packets (like I wouldn’t go to an office supply place – […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot HI-TEC-C Cavalier
My husband reminded me that I’ve never reviewed the Pilot HI-TEC-C Cavalier he gave me for some gift-giving holiday. He knows I like fine point rollerball pens – and the finer the point the better. The HI-TEC-C Cavalier is Pilot’s higher end, refillable “executive” HI-TEC-C pens. The HI-TEC-C Cavalier is 5.25″ capped and 5.75″ with […]
