Serwex 101 fountain pen review
Serwex 101 fountain pen review
I received this Serwex 101 eyedropper demonstrator for free with another pen I’d bought from Fountain Pen Revolution. It can be found for less than $6 if you look around.
The nib is as scratchy as they come without being useless. Any scratchier and it would be tearing up the paper but it doesn’t and it fulfils its basic function of putting ink onto paper. It’s quite a wet writer and it’s very…

Kaweco Elite fountain pen review
Kaweco Elite fountain pen review
The Kaweco Elite is the top of the range Kaweco fountain pen.
It’s a largish pen and is made from black acrylic resin (posh plastic), with a chrome plated cap. The barrel has the octagonal cross-section that makes the Sport line so distinctive. It’s well made, with a nice weight to it.
The cap is very shiny! It’s marked with “Kaweco Elite, Germany”. Kaweco do this with all their pens. I think…

Diplomat Traveller Fountain Pen review
Diplomat Traveller Fountain Pen review
The Diplomat Traveller fountain pen is a metal barrelled pen that, as far as I know, is available only with a medium steel nib.
The nib is surprisingly good – I perhaps had low expectations but it’s smooth and very pleasant to write with. It takes international cartridges and my Monteverde converter fitted without any problems.
The Diplomat Traveller is a small pen (so you can travel with it,…

Zebra Z-Grip mechanical pencil review
Zebra Z-Grip mechanical pencil review
The Zebra Z-Grip is a 0.5mm mechanical pencil that costs just 38p from Cult Pens. (That’s about 60 cents in American money.) It has a clear plastic barrel with either black, blue or red grip and trim.
It does feel and look pretty cheap but I find the clear barrel quite appealing. The tube that holds the lead is visible running down the length of the pen like a vein. It adds interest and makes…

Staedtler 308 Pigment Liner drawing pen review
Staedtler 308 Pigment Liner drawing pen review
The Staedtler 308 pigment liner is a fibre-tipped drawing pen available in 9 different line widths (0.5mm to 0.8mm) with black ink.
I’ve found it difficult to find very many good drawing pens. The Copic Multiliner is a great and so is the Sakura Pigma Micron but apart from those I’ve not found any that I’ve been impressed with.
A good drawing pen, whether it’s to be used for drawing or…

Kaweco AC-Sport fountain pen review
Kaweco AC-Sport fountain pen review
The Kaweco Classic Sport was the first pen I reviewed on Pens! Paper! Pencil! I love that pen. Until recently I kept it in my pocket and used it every single day. It got scuffed up but I didn’t care, although I did buy a lovely leather sleeve for it. It now sits stored away at home, sad and lonely. What happened? The Kaweco AC-Sport happened.
In 2003 Steve Jobs said,
Most people make the…

The barrel is the ice and the section is the smoke. The smoky section shimmers as you turn it and…

Pilot Juice gel ink pen review
Pilot Juice gel ink pen review
The Pilot Juice is a gel ink pen that is available in three different tip sizes (0.38, 0.5 and 0.7mm) and a large range of colours. (Thirty-six colours in the 0.5mm size, fewer iin the other sizes.)
The grip is comfortable and slightly squishy. The barrel is clear plastic and a good sensible size.
The ink is waterproof and fade-resistant. It writes in a very consistent and sharp line. It’s a…
