I've always been a fan of the Pilot Precise line of pens for as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure I had several of them that I used in grade school decades ago, however I don't recall ever using this "GRIP" version. I'm sure they are probably available in most of the usual places, however like just about everything I buy, I grabbed these here via Amazon, where they also have several other options as well as additional colors available. … [Read more...]
Ti Arto – The Ultimate Refill Friendly Pen
In general I've become kind of cynical and tired of Kickstarter pens. Lately most are just some fancy but nicely designed metal that look nice but offer no real innovation. Then I saw the Ti ARTO (back it on Kickstarter here) by BIG IDEA DESIGN. My cynicism stopped dead in its tracks and within a few seconds I decided to back the project myself. The Ti ARTO not only looks amazing, but it also does something that no other pen does to this magnitude. I … [Read more...]
JetPens Mini Aluminum Fountain Pen
I was a bit surprised when I came across this JetPens Mini Aluminum Fountain Pen (buy via JetPens, of course) when I was viewing all of the new arrivals on their site recently. Before we dive into a closer look at this, just a reminder that this pen was acquired free of charge via our sponsorship with JetPens. … [Read more...]
Sostanza Pencil in Amaranth
Today I wanted to take a quick look at the Sostanza Amaranth endless pencil made from sustainable materials. Above you can see each of the different materials you can get this in from the picture at the Sostanza website. Unfortunately I received this sample in the Amaranth wood after the Kickstarter project ended. If you want to purchase one, there will be a bit of a waiting game ahead of you. … [Read more...]
RNG Products SQ1 EDC PEN on Kickstarter
I'm kind of annoyed with myself that I completely forgot about these pens, but they are available on Kickstarter with only a few hours left to go, so apologies for the short notice. For the most part I get kind of tired of Kickstarter pens, but these are so amazing looking, yet simple and elegant. I've already backed them myself so I wanted to share for those of you that will get to read this before the project funding period ends in a few … [Read more...]
Zebra Sarasa Dry – Ultimate Left Handed Pen
The Zebra Sarasa Dry (purchase via JetPens) is a fairly new offering and targets the needs of left handed writers with its fast drying ink. Today we look at the .4mm red version, which for full disclosure was purchased as part of our sponsorship with JetPens. … [Read more...]
Uni Kuru Toga Rubber Grip
Because I find the need to review every single Uni Kuru Toga available (including the Hello Kitty version) I thought I'd give this variant with a rubber grip a try, although I'm running out of things to say about them other than that I love them. I do have to say I was not really paying attention and didn't realize it had no clip when I picked it up here from our sponsor JetPens. … [Read more...]
Pentel Twist Erase III Mechanical Pencil BIG Eraser
After experiencing the abject failure of the Paper Mate Clearpoint (see the trainwreck review here) that should be embarassed to call itself a pencil, I was reluctant to try anything else with a big bulky eraser that relies on a twisting motion to expose itself. Regardless though, I was willing to give the Pentel Twist Erase III (here on Amazon) a chance. … [Read more...]
RIIND Pen Prototype on Kickstarter
I recently had an offer to check out some new pen prototypes of a Kickstarter campaign, but due to some timing issues I didn't get as much hands on time with them as I usually like before a review. I still wanted to share them here though because the first impression was great. The pen is the RIIND prototype pen (via Kickstarter) but you need to jump on these now because the project has soared past its funding goal and ends very soon! … [Read more...]
Rotring Quattro Multi Pen
In my quest for a decent writing premium multi pen, I decided to give the Rotring Quattro Multi Pen (via Amazon) a shot. I figured since Rotring has a great reputation for quality and construction it was worth giving it a try even at a little bit of a bigger price than some similar offerings. … [Read more...]
Hello Kuru Toga, The Hello Kitty Kuru Toga
If you have been under a rock for the last um, I don't know, 30 years or so, you may have missed the fact that Hello Kitty can be found on just about any product you can imagine. The Hello Kitty Kuru Toga (via Amazon) is clearly never going to be my go-to favorite pencil however I just thought since I've reviewed just about every other Kuru Toga, I shouldn't discriminate so here she is in all of her glory. I mean heck, just because something isn't my cup … [Read more...]
Paper Mate Clearpoint Mix and Match 0.7mm
Conceptually, the Paper Mate Clearpoint Mix and Match (via Amazon) seemed like an interesting idea when I saw it in pictures online. Because I generally avoid pencils except for my Uniball Kuru Toga I really didn't have high expectations for this offering from Paper Mate. … [Read more...]
Redesigned Sharpie Pens
Rather than a full review today, this is more of just an FYI on a pen that we have reviewed a bunch before that got a nice visual upgrade. I was browsing for new office supplies online to review the other day and these new redesigned Sharpie Pens (via Amazon) caught my eye. If you are unfamiliar, the old and original design of the very popular Sharpie Pens had all black caps, so these colored caps really jumped out to me. … [Read more...]
Uni Jetstream Prime 3 plus 1
I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this Uni Jetstream Prime 3 plus 1 (via Amazon). I mean seriously, look at that odd shape and awful blue jewel on the clip. You think I would have learned my lesson when I reviewed the Uni Jetstream Prime (3 colors, but sans pencil) and couldn't have hated it more. I guess because I love the regular non-fancy pants, plastic version of the Jetstream Multi Pen, I'm obsessed with finding a high end metal … [Read more...]
Baron Fig Squire Pen Review
A little over a week ago, we were lucky to get our hands on this new Baron Fig Squire pen directly from our friends over at Baron Fig (check it out on the Baron Fig website), which was a welcome surprise. I was looking forward to eventually trying this pen out, and now that I've had my hands on it for a week or so, I have to say it has exceeded my expectations both visually and functionally. I usually don't spill the beans in the first paragraph of a … [Read more...]
