First of all I'd just like to say that only sailor could pull off a sea creatures/sea slug fountain pen collection. It's completely original and that's what I love about sailor. They like thinking out of the box. So does Kingdom Note for that matter. Previously they had the vegetable collection, which was pretty interesting … Continue reading Kingdom Note x Sailor – Blue Mino Sea Slug
So I've been toting around this beauty for quite some time, and I've even tried other pen cases. As much as I love the Superior Labor pen roll, the issue there is that the pen slots are not all individual sized, which means that you can fit two or more fountain pens to a pen … Continue reading The Penvelope by Franklin-Christoph
Franklin Christoph hardly ever sells their prototype pens on the website, so when I saw that they were selling the model 66 and the model 45 in nuclear green, I jumped on the chance to see them for myself and ordered them both. Yes, it's excessive, but they have a 30 day return policy that … Continue reading Franklin-Christoph in Nuclear Green
I don't think there's been a more anticipated fountain pen purchase for me in quite some time. I've also never come across as many fake versions of a fountain pen, as I have for this one, so buyer beware, because there are a whole lot of copies out there and just as many unscrupulous sellers … Continue reading Montblanc Heritage 1912 Fountain Pen
The notebook that finally stole my heart away from leuchtturm1917. With 160gsm paper it handles a fountain pen like a dream, sure there's still a little bit of shadowing, but no bleed through and no feathering. And the best part is, it's basically the same price as a Leuchtturm1917, $20. The pages are numbered, there's … Continue reading Scribbles That Matter Notebook
The Coolest ink ever made? Yes I think so, after all it changes color. That is pretty freakin cool. I'm not going to write that much about the ink, other than I love it and it's a little on the expensive side. I think you can determine for yourself what you think with the below … Continue reading Platinum Ink: Citrus Black
I never thought I would see a Gray Montblanc, never thought they existed until I came across one while browsing eBay. But here it is. A Vintage Gray 342 Montblanc. It's on the small side, but it still fits quite nicely in my hand, and it's very light. And the very best part, is that … Continue reading Vintage Montblanc 342 Gray
I ordered the Wancher Urushi Dream Pen knowing full well that it would take 4 to 5 months to ship due to the kickstarter. Everyone that's ever invested in kickstarter items knows that it's months before you see the finished product. And yes sometimes those timelines are stretched. But I've never had one stretch … Continue reading Review: Wancher Urushi Fountain Pen
My first stop at the Atlanta Pen Show is always Franklin-Christoph, pictured farther down below. They're special edition and prototype pens are the highlight of my day. Which is why I walked away with a prototype Pocket Model 20 with Antique glass barrel pen. This time I attended on Friday and took the time to … Continue reading Atlanta Pen Show 2019 Pics
I first saw this ink swatched at Wonderpens in Toronto and I was much intrigued, but it was sold out at the time so I couldn't purchase it. Incidentally I forgot about it until I was perusing Amazon and I saw it listed for $25. The price teeters on the edge of where I draw … Continue reading Platinum Ink: Lavender Black
