My new friends at Pen Chalet sent me a very nice fountain pen to review: the Pilot Knight. Like the Metropolitan, this is a newer release from Pilot. Disclaimer: I received the pen free of charge but no other paymentor incentivefor this review, and all the opinions herein are my own. For now,...

Thanks to Goulet Pens who sent me these pens for review, I can present you with two Pilot Metropolitan fountain pens, one plain silver with medium nib, the other plain black with fine nib. Disclaimer: I received the pens free of charge but no other paymentor incentivefor this review, and all the...

In an unprecedented turn of events, a few weeks ago I was swayed by a sale that Amazon was having on Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pens, and decided to buy one. I had noticed the Vanishing Point and lusted for it for a long time but never dared spend so much money on a fountain pen. As a...

Happy America Day folks and may the Fourth be with you, always! Brought to you by TK-421 and his new Pilot Vanishing Point. Original Post Thanks! But do you love Star Wars?

Just a heads-up regarding the Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki giveaway hosted by Jetpens. The winner is Amy Thompson of Los Angeles, CA. Congratulations Amy and thanks all for reading my review of this awesome ink! Original Post Congratulation Amy !! Really awesome ink it is !! colour kitchen I...

Today I'm going to talk to you about a fountain pen and an ink that I have already reviewed. The two were reviewed separately but now they've come together, and it is such a good match that I just had to say a few words about it. As you might know, I'm not a fountain pen collector and I certainly...

In my last post I reviewed the Pilot Varsity "disposable" fountain pen. Now, I will explain why the word "disposable" is within quotes. Although Pilot intended for this to be a throwaway pen, some crafty folks have come up with various ways in which to refill it with their own ink. There are many...

The Pilot Varsity might be the cheapest fountain pen on the market (even cheaper than the Platinum Preppy) and as a disposable pen some would be tempted to disregard it completely as a real fountain pen, yet the Varsity is more than meets the eye and I'll tell you why I think so. Pilot markets the...

The Pilot Parallel pens, although fountain pens, are not meant for writing novels, journals or to use in the office. That's because they are primarily intended for calligraphy. This is not meant to be an exhaustive review of the Pilot Parallel, but rather an insight into what makes these pens so...

The past week has been the "week of the Noodler's flex pen" it seems. Goulet Pens, in particular, was assaulted by orders for the latest batch of Noodler's flex fountain pens and I was one of the lucky ones who managed to get their hands on a Noodler's flex in Lapis Inferno (aka blue with white...

My second Jetpens haul was a smaller one. This one also happened at the end of last year but I only got the chance to blog about it now. First there's a Pilot Parallel calligraphy pen, with a 2.4mm nib. The Parallel is a very interesting pen with an unique nib design. The tines are actually two...

I bought the Pilot Prera from Jetpens, along with a couple of inks and a bunch of other stuff. See my previous post titled 1st Jetpens haul. I fell in love with the Prera the moment I lay eyes on it. The Prera has such a premium look that it can easily fool one into thinking it costs a lot more...

JetPens was the store that started the pen & ink craziness for me. I came across them on an un-related site that I read regularly and the author of the article was fascinated by the multitude of Japanese stuff carried by them. I started browsing the site and was also amazed at the wonderful...
