[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Precise V5 RT – Classic Colors
I often do revisits of pens or different versions. This is another Pilot Precise V5 RT (retractable) in a classic color 3-pack – red, blue, black. That I picked up on a clearance table at Staples when I “needed” to get a narrow-ruled legal pad for a job thing – because I have preferences about […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Hello Old Friends 3-Color Multi-Pen 2 pack
Several weeks ago, we had the impulsive trip to Kinokuniya and Daiso in Carrollton. One of the many purchases was this adorable 2 pack of 3-color ballpoint pens with bears on them waving and saying, “Hello” on one side and “Hello my old friends” on the back – and there is a front and back […]
[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.

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 […]
