[Pen/Pencil Review] The Monteverde One Touch Ballpoint Pen
Back in September of 2011, I hit up the Dallas Pen Show for a whopping two hours. I would’ve spent a lot more time there if it weren’t for the fact that it was (and will be) the same weekend as FenCon -which takes over my life (in a good way). However, in my limited [...]
[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] Another Editing Pen for the Holidays – the Pentel Slicci 0.25mm in Red
I told you there would be a slight Christmas theme this month – the color red. Normally, I’m a green person (color not eco-nazi – though I do like to recycle and take care of the planet), but this year… Christmas 2011 is the Year O’ Red. Don’t know why. So today I give you…The [...]
[Pen/Pencil Post] The Zebra Technoline 0.4mm BallPoint Pen
Continuing the smallest pen “mini” series, today’s post is on the Zebra Technoline 0.4mm ballpoint pen. This was from a JetPens.com New Product line and only available through JetPens or other online retailers, the Technoline line is not available on the Zebra Pens website. So this pen is not yet widely available in the US. [...]
[Pen/Pencil Review] .50 Caliber Purpleheart Wood Ballpoint Pen by Lehr Arts
A Facebook comment said, “Heavy round for heavy words”. Or so I can hope, maybe. This Lehr Arts ballpoint pen is hand -crafted by Aaron T. Lehr in Austin, TX. I do like buying one off pens on occasion, especially if it supports an independent artist. This pen is made from a .50 caliber bullet [...]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The TWSBI Diamond 540
A couple of weeks back my household had debacle with the post office. Much of our mail went astray (some still lingers in limbo). One piece of mail slipped past the Event Horizon to make it into our possession… the delivery of our TWSBI Diamond 540s EF nibs. Jimmy ordered the clear for himself and [...]
[Pen/Pencil Review] [Writer Blog] The Dallas Pen Show
This week, I’m actually going to combine pen blog with writer blog. Mostly because I participated in TWO conventions this weekend (one only for a limited amount of time), and this second one had bearing on both writing and pens. I participated in FenCon and The Dallas Pen Show – thankfully they were on opposite [...]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot G2 Family Comparison – G2 vs. G2 Pro vs. G2 Limited
This is a busy week so this is kind of thrown together. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Pilot pens and ink. The G2 is my go to ink. I do wish the 0.38 points came in all the colors and not just blue, black, red, and green. So what’s left to say? [...]
[Pen and Pencil Review] The Pilot Bottle to Pen Pens
Staples had a “Back to School” sale on the Pilot B2P (Bottle to Pen) pens a few weeks ago. I know I’m behind on my review of it – lots of other people have already talked about this pen, but I finally got to try it out. I’m a huge fan of Pilot products, and [...]
[Pen Review] The Seven Year Pen by Sustainable Seltzer Products
About a year ago I ordered a pen from Sustainable Seltzer Products, The Seven Year Pen in the “Need Coffee” motif. Why would I do this when I’ve said often that ball point pens are my least favorite ink pen? 1) I was curious about a pen that boasts it can last for 7 years, [...]
