The nice folks from Bic sent over a bunch of items recently that I will be reviewing, so I thought the first item we should take a look at are these Bic Cristal Bold Colors 1.6mm Ballpoint Pens. One thing that I didn't notice until after I opened these was that although the package says 10 pens in the bottom right corner there, you can actually see that inside the package there are 11 pens. … [Read more...]

Solid Titanium Pen with Capacitive Stylus Takes Amazingly Ridiculous Number of Refills
Today while I was checking out one of my favorite non-pen sites (Uncrate) I came across...an amazing pen, go figure. This solid titanium pen with a capacitive stylus takes more refills than any pen I've ever seen before. I'm really itching to get my hands on this thing to do a review, but it looks very promising. You can find it here on Kickstarter, which is appropriate because I think this pen literally kicks the s4#!t out of any of the other … [Read more...]

Ultimate Clicky Pen Project on Kickstarter
Here is another great project that is going strong on Kickstarter. It is "The Ultimate Clicky Pen Project" which is a pretty descriptive name. This pen is from the same people that brought you the Tuffwriter line of tactical pens which I am a big fan of, here is our review of the Tuffwriter Frontline Tactical Pen. Lucky for me, Jack from Tuffwriter and the designer of this pen was kind enough to send over one of two of the prototypes for me to try … [Read more...]
Paper Mate InkJoy 700 RT Review
A few weeks ago I picked up a few of the new Paper Mate Ink Joy 700 RTs along with a few other of the InkJoy models, and I completely forgot that I even had them to review. The recent review by Brad over at the Pen Addict reminded me that I still needed to review mine, so here we are today. … [Read more...]

Zebra F-701 Stainless Steel Ballpoint Pen
Here is another pen that was generously sent to me by Brad from JetPens to review. So standard disclaimer here, free pen for me, and they get a review out of it. I've been a happy customer of JetPens since before this Blog, and I have been a fan of Brad's work since before this site. He's a good guy, even for a Braves fan. :) ANYWAY, if I were to do a one word review of this Zebra F-701 Ballpoint Pen, it would simply say "Solid." and I'd be done. … [Read more...]

The Bic 4 Color Grip Ballpoint Pen is a new twist on the classic version of the Original Bic 4 Color Pen.

As I mentioned earlier this month, the folks from Zebra were nice enough to send over a bunch of their new line of pens, so today we will take a look at the Zebra Erase Away Retractable and Erasable ballpoint pen. My pen of choice isn't usually an erasable ballpoint pen, but I still wanted to give this a fair look. … [Read more...]
Uniball Jetstream3 3 Color Ballpoint Multi Pen – 0.5 mm
Every time I think I've reviewed my last Uniball Jetstream, I find myself buying a new one and writing about it. I've owned the .7mm version of the Jetstream3 multi-pen, but the other day when placing my last JetPens order, I browsed around a bit and found Uni-ball Jetstream3 .5mm Multi Pen, which I had yet to try. We will keep this short for some mid-week light reading today, and as not to get too gushy with all the Jetstream … [Read more...]
Staples XENO Retractable Ballpoint Pens
The other day when I was at my local Staples, I saw these Staples Brand XENO Retractable ballpoint pens, and while I don't normally like ballpoints, I really liked the unique design of these. After looking to see if they had a rollerball version with the same design, I concluded that it was a futile effort and that I should just grab the ballpoints and give them a try. … [Read more...]
