[Pen/Pencil Review] The Editing Pen Side-by-Side Comparison

What’s new for the 2012 pen review blog? Well, I’m going to try to put a more objective grading system in place so maybe a more consistent way of awarding the Bronze Pencils evolves. That way there can actually be some kind of plan to this blog. Not sure how that’s all going to work [...]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Uni-ball Signo Bit 0.18mm – The Last Red Holiday Editing Pen
