I had been hesitant to invest in the Zebra Sharbo-X because its a pricey multi-pen at $49.50 for the body only. But its one of the few brand name multi-pens that has an aluminum body rather than plastic. So, when I saw that quantities of the minty green model were getting limited at Jet Pens,…

Upcoming: Blackwing Slate Notebook
It’s a week chock full of new notebooks. The new Blackwing Slate is an updated version of the Blackwing Luxury notebook.
