In a pinch, today’s review was photographed with my new iPhone 6. Pardon any wonkiness but I had a wicked migraine yesterday and didn’t get a chance to pull everything together until today at lunch. And its here! The amazingly cool Karas Kustoms RETRAKT in the new Tu-Tone Colors… green, of course. And its…

Review: Pentel i+ 3 Multi-Pen
I’ve got a soft spot for multi-pens. Especially Japanese gel multi-pens. While the Pilot Hi-Tec C multi-pens are often the most talked-about, followed by the Uni Style Fit line, I still find a little space in my multi-pen universe for Pentel and their Sliccie line of gel pens. The individual Sliccie pens are not much…
Review: Pentel Energel 0.35 Needle Point
The Pentel Energel 0.35 Needle Point ($2.50) is a pen I can’t believe I had never tried or owned before last week. I’ve heard others talk about them but I’d never tried one. It was about time! In the past, I’d only ever seen the larger point sizes (0.5, 0.7 and 1.0) and I knew…

The length of the pen is relatively short but quite…

Its a pretty book with short pieces about the history of letter writing as well as common references, quotes, books and movies where letters feature prominently and other…
Ka-Week-O! Review: 14K Gold BB Nib
Have you heard about the new 14K gold nibs available from Kaweco? Ooh la la! I got the chance to try out the BB, double broad nib. By eye, it looked like a stub nib, wide and flat but when I put it to paper, it created a wide soft line. Not hard edged at…
Ka-Week-O! Review: Kaweco Skyline Rollerball in Grey
With pens, I tend to choose silver and grey as my go-to colors since there are seldom options in green. With the new Skyline series for the Kaweco Sport line, I went straight for the Mint color. I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200 – or a grey pen. Most people are…
