Sailor Pro Gear King of Pens Winter Sky
AKA: the pen I love and would never recommend. I would call the Sailor King of Pens confusing in that it’s one of those fountain pens which you see get released, but I can’t say I see a ton of people posting about online, yet Sailor keeps releasing more KOPs with somewhat regularity despite this.…

Pelikan M205 – 2020 Moonstone Review
While this review focuses on the 2020 Moonstone edition of the M205, much of the review applies to all the M205 pens. Despite the fact that most of my pen purchases are impulse, the M205 took me a quite a while to decide on. The M205 Moonstone was Pelikans 2020 release as part of the…

Leonardo Momento Zero Review
Tthe Leonardo Momento Zero has become a fan favorite amongst collectors. The Mango colorway came out in 2021 and I sat on my decision to purchase one until a Black Friday sale rolled around. I’m glad I waited because it’s a pen that took me a while to warm up to. I went with the…

Pen Addict x Opus 88 Halo Review
I try not to be a person who jumps right on new products when they cross my socials, but when Brad at the Pen Addict announced the Pen Addict x Opus 88 Halo collaboration, I knew I wanted one. Opus 88 had been on my radar for a while, but I had yet to see…

Wing Sung 618 & Private Reserve Tanzanite
This pen was a Christmas gift somewhere handy of over 5 years ago and it quickly became my every day carry for work. I coupled it with my favorite (at the time) ink of Private Reserve Tanzanite and I haven’t changed a thing about this combo since I started using it. The 618 is a…

Kakimori Brass Dip Nib Review
Kakimori is a Japanese company known first for its order-made notebooks, but one of the “big” things that has popped up from the brand is it’s metal dip nibs. There is a brass, which is what I’m reviewing today, and a steel version of the nib. Deep groves in the nib hold the ink, and…
