[Pen/Pencil Review] The PaperMate SharpWriter – 0.7mm
This is going to be quick and dirty because it’s FenCon week – and time is of the essence. This week we look at a classic mechanical pencil in fun colors – the PaperMate Sharpwriter. This pencil has been around for decades – I did try to find out how long, but couldn’t quite narrow […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Dr Grip Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm
I know I didn’t get a pen blog done yesterday. I was finalizing some fiction submissions for a short story submission deadline and some last bits of novel process. The novel has me very, very excited. In the interim I knew I was going to have to do let something go… well, this ended up […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Platinum OLEeNU Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm
Today’s blog is a mechanical pencil from Platinum. The last thing I reviewed from Platinum was the Preppy Fountain Pen, so I thought it was time to try something else. This is the Platinum OLEeNU Mechanical Pencil. At first blush, this is a typical mechanical pencil. It has a clear barrel with a frosted rubber […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Jolt 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil
Okay, okay, okay, it’s not a green or red pen… it’s a pencil with green in the barrel. It’s what I had in my stash that fits the December theme. This is the Pentel Jolt 0.7mm mechanical pencil. This was sent to me quite a while ago in the giant box of awesomeness. There won’t […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel’s e-Sharp 0.5mm Sky Blue Mechanical Pencil
Here’s one of the many Pentel reviews coming up over time from the last batch of stuff they sent me – because Pentel is awesome like that. This is the e-Sharp 0.5mm mechanical pencil. There won’t be a writing sample because it’s Pentel’s HB lead – so it’s standard #2 pencil lead, and when it […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel Stein 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil
This week is also featuring a pencil – the Pentel Stein 0.5 in Metallic Green. This mechanical pencil was also a Christmas gift from my husband – but through JetPens, so you can get this one a lot easier. The Pentel Stein is a fairly standard mechanical pencil. The body is enameled in what they […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Spoke Pencil – In Green
This week’s pen review is going to be a little bit different. It’s a pencil, so there’s no writing sample – because let’s face it, why? This mechanical pencil was a Christmas gift from my husband through a Kickstarter project so there’s going to be a few unusual bits. The pencil comes from Spoke Pencils. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel Sharp Kerry 0.5mm
I could’ve sworn I’d done a review on this pencil before, but I can’t seem to find it. So I’m going to doing it again—or maybe for the first time. Jimmy bought me this a while back, because he’s a great enabler. This is Pentel’s Sharp Kerry 0.5mm capped automatic pencil. The Pentel Sharp Kerry […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The UNI Kuru Toga .05mm Mechanical Pencil
My husband ordered a UNI Kuru Toga .05mm pencil and then gave it to me. It’s an intriguing concept, I have to admit, and I was happy to give it a shot. Of course, being ordered by my husband, he bought the black body. I would’ve gone for the green… UNI (Uni-Ball) designed the Kuru […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The TomBow Zoom 505sh 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil
The Tom Bow Zoom 505sh is the matching pencil to my previously reviewed 505bw rollerball. I had a review written about this pencil back when I first received it, but it went…somewhere. And now I’m kind of glad about that, it’s given me a chance to revisit the review. The first thing I did with […]
