This week’s pen review is a different color to a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Clip – in a 0.3mm point with Viridian Green gel ink – because they’re good like that. I am amused by the name because not far from here is a planned community […]

[Pen and Pencil Review] Zebra PM 701 Stainless Steel Marker
This week’s review is a variation of a previous (and a different manufacturer) post. Several years ago I posted about the Stainless Steel Sharpies.

[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC 4-Color Pen + Stylus
I know I’ve complained loudly about pen manufactures (BIC and Papermate, I’m looking at you) defaulting to larger and larger ballpoint sizes. I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine points.

And even though I’ve pretty much reviewed all […]
