While out and about I stumbled across the Pentel Hybrid Technica 0.5 in black. Its a simple black gel pen in a clear hexagonal plastic case with a color coordinating silicone grip area. In other words, visually, its a very unassuming pen. On paper though, the pen rolls smoothly and leaves a dark solid line…

Copic Drawing Pen Review
The Copic Drawing Pen FO2 (0.2mm) is an interesting little tool.

This model is considered part of the F*Series (F for feminine but I think…

Delfonics Utility Bag Review
I recently ordered a Delfonics Utility Bag from Notemaker in Australia and boy am I ever glad I did! This bag is extremely well made with pockets galore. The front of the case has three pen slots and then four other pockets, the back two pockets large enough to hold a Field Notes book easily.…
