Probably one of the dumbest reasons I've ever bought a product, but I liked the package and I thought one of the highlighters looked like they might be red, so I grabbed these Zebra Optex Care Highlighters like a dummy. Not to say they aren't good highlighters, but its just a plastic box and the one highlighter definitely isn't red, more like peach. Anyway, before we dig into the review, here is where you can grab a set for yourself on Amazon. … [Read more...]
Parker Premier Monochrome Black PVD Review
I feel like Parker pens don't get much love unless they are of a vintage status, but I've long had an eye on the Parker Premier all black design and was happy to take up an offer from our friends at Goldspot to do a review of this loaner from them. Pen boxes always remind me of coffins for some reason, I'm not a particularly morbid person, but this always jumps out at me and the Parker Premier is no exception to this rule, and being all black it kind of … [Read more...]
BIC 4 Color Clicky Pen with Stylus
I've always had a nostalgic appreciation of the original BIC 4 Color Clicky pen as it was one of the first pens I had as a kid that I really appreciated. Back in the day I had no idea why it had that little round ball on top of it, but apparently it was to use to help dial an old school rotary phone. Fast forward to today, and the Bic 4 Color Clicky pen has evolved and replaced the rotary phone dialer with a stylus tip. Check out the Bic 4 Color Clicky … [Read more...]
Modern Fuel Mechanical Pencil 2.0 Review
Andrew Sanderson, the creator of the Modern Fuel Mechanical Pencil 2.0 (via Kickstarter) recently sent me a review sample of this amazingly engineered heirloom quality mechanical pencil. I'm so glad he did because the craftsmanship, uniqueness, materials, and thought that went into designing this are all pretty impressive and I'm excited to share it here with you. … [Read more...]
Nock Co Lookout 3 Pen Holder
As part of our sponsorship with the lovely folks over at Goldspot, they share stuff with us from time to time for reviews, so today because of their generosity we are going to take a look at the Nock Co. Lookout 3 Pen Holder. The colorway we are looking at here today is the Peacock Coal but you can also snag one in the Coffee and Amethyst colorway or Raven and Aqua here on the Goldspot site. … [Read more...]
Uniball Signo UM151 Grey .38mm Review
Its been a while since I've reviewed a Uniball Signo DX (aka Uniball Signo UM151) but I recently saw that our sponsor JetPens had some new colors available so I grabbed a few. One of the more interesting ones was this Uniball Signo UM151 in Grey (buy via JetPens). Thanks to JetPens btw for making this pen available free of charge as part of our partnership with them. … [Read more...]
Aurora 88 Minerali Azurite Demonstrator Limited Edition Fountain Pen Review
The Aurora 88 Minerali Azurite is a new limited edition demonstrator faountain pen from Aurora that our friends (and sponsor for full disclosure) at Goldspot let us borrow and test out for this review. Besides being one gorgeous looking pen, it also comes in a pretty amazing and substantial wood box with grey/silver finish and leather-like lining. As I said this is a loaner from our friends at Goldspot and you can find it right here on their website, but … [Read more...]
MyLifeUNIT Fineliner .40mm Review
Anytime I see an item on Amazon with a ton of reviews and promoted as a "Amazon's top Choice" with their little branded logo, I get a little skeptical. With that said I thought I'd grab a set of these MyLifeUNIT Fineliner Color Pens in .4mm (via Amazon, obviously) to see what I thought of them. The first thing I noticed about these MyLifeUNIT Fineliner pens (besides the really odd name) was the fact that on the package they are described as being … [Read more...]
Fisher Space Pen Backpacker vs Fisher Space Pen Trekker
My Fisher Trekker Space Pen has been a permanent fixture on my key chain for years now and I love it, but when I saw the new Fisher Space Pen Backpacker (via JetPens) I thought that maybe it might be time for an upgrade. If nothing else I just liked the visual of the blue with black accents, so into my cart it went, without much worry knowing how much I loved my other one. … [Read more...]
Baron Fig Prismatic Archer Review
The newest member of the Baron Fig Archer Pencil Family is the Prismatic (via the Baron Fig website). They are the first new Archer offering since the Snakes and Ladders edition that had some issues with the cores being off center causing lots of breakage issues. Knowing how Baron Fig established themselves with a mind of continually improving their products and reacting to customer feedback, I was naturally very curious to see how these new Prismatic … [Read more...]
Pilot Precise V5 Pink Purple and Turquoise
I've always been a big fan of the Pilot Precise line of pens going back to grade school, however I kept forgetting to grab a pack with some of the additional colors you see above. Its easy to be happy about the great writing performance of the black, blue, red, and green versions of these pens that are readily available everywhere. Whats not so common though are the Pilot Precise V5 pens in pink, purple, and turquoise (via Amazon). … [Read more...]
MUJI Aluminum Fountain Pen Review
I came across the MUJI Aluminum Fountain Pen on Amazon recently and was surprised because I know of MUJI because of their awesome store, but I've never seen their fountain pen before. Its a pretty simple and well done pen that feels great and seems to be constructed in a very solid fashion. Lets take a closer look, but as I said, I grabbed mine on Amazon right here. … [Read more...]
Baron Fig Squire Experiment Limited Edition
The very generous folks at Baron Fig put their newest subscription/limited edition Squire in my hands a few days ago so I could do a review, and a funny thing happened. It sold out before I could even get all the pictures taken and write about it to share here. I still wanted to share the pictures and give my thoughts on the Baron Fig Squire Experiment limited edition though because quite frankly, the pen is gorgeous and if its an indication of things to … [Read more...]
Lamy Safari Petrol Special Edition Fountain Pen and Ink
The Lamy Safari Petrol is the newest special edition of the classic Lamy Safari pen. Its a really great looking color that is kind a dark turquoise. As with the standard Lamy Safari, the Petrol is a plastic body and has a flat finish with a glossy metal clip that looks like a twisted up portion of a large paper clip. I picked up this pen at Hinkson's Office Store in Princeton, NJ which I stumbled across by accident while strolling through the streets of … [Read more...]
Uni NanoDia Green Lead 0.5 mm Review
I've always found colored mechanical pencil lead refills to be hit or miss, but mostly miss. I figured I'd take my chances with these Uni NanoDia Green Lead 0.5 mm leads that I saw on JetPens (right here if you are in a shopping mood) recently. The package that they come in is a hard plastic container with a sliding top, which contains 20 individual refills that measure 60mm. Quick reminder too that these refills were free of charge for this review as … [Read more...]
