I realized there were green gel pens I did not yet own, so I immediately popped over to Jet Pens to remedy the situation. This time, it was both the Zebra Sarasa Clip 0.3 in Veridian Green and the Pilot G-2 0.38 in Green. When they arrived I noticed how remarkably similar these two pens…

Review: Kuretake Fudegokochi Extra Fine Brush Pen
Brad challenged me to try the Kuretake Fudegokochi Super Fine Brush Pen last week on The Pen Addict Podcast so I went ahead and ordered it. I’ve been on a brush pen kick lately so I saw no reason not to give this pen a try. He described it as being fine enough for writing…
Review: Pilot Super Gel 0.5mm Green

Beyond black, white and aluminum, I…
Review: Dixon Tri-Conderoga Pencil
I’ve always been a fan of the classic Ticonderoga pencils from Dixon. Where the Ticonderoga is a classic hexagonal wood-cased pencil, the Tri-Conderoga is a triangular pencil. The Tri-Conderoga has a rubberized coating with a matte black finish. What most surprised me is that the Tri-Conderoga is wider in diameter than the regular Ticonderoga or…
