New review of the mechanical pen and pencil by @inventery.co is now live at clickypost.com

Not all pens in my collection are equal... this one I received as a gift from my friend @heymatthew that was made by Troy (amazing guy as well) from @bruteforcedesign. What’s cool about it is the wood is heart of pine from an old railroad depot that was torn down near where Matthew lives which makes it even more interesting. This is a pen that I’ll always have.... are there pens you’ve received as a gift?

A couple months ago I wanted to put together a durable pen and paper “car kit” to keep in the Jeep for when we head out for some adventure (and possibly mud) and @riteintherain was my first choice. I told them about the idea and they were kind enough to send me over some goods to check out. I think this combo is solid.... toss in the glove box and go. I’m putting together a more in depth post of what they sent me, but fantastic products that serve a unique need so well. Have you used them?

Review of the @spokedesign pen (currently on Kickstarter) is now live at clickypost.com

Review of the updated @ajoto Ebony (cerakote) stainless steel pen is now live at clickypost.com

If you are a fan of @retro1951 you may not know this guy by name, but he is likely behind many of your favorite designs and I thought it would be fun to give him a formal introduction. Richard was kind enough to answer some questions for us about his time at Retro and about himself to get a more behind the scenes look. Check it out at clickypost.com! And thanks @richardkoehler1218!

Thin vertical and wide horizontal.... These two architect nibs were done by @thenibsmith and are always in my rotation as they fit my handwriting style. Do you have a favorite specialty nib?

Non-pen related post, but might be interesting to some folks... Sometimes there are products you see and think “I totally need that.” Now, I’m not a big gamer, but when I saw these walnut (of course, walnut...) controller stands from @geekmadedesigns I knew I needed one for my office. Such a clever and elegant design! And, supporting a small business which I love. Definitely check them out.

Got in a prototype of the @spokedesign and @penaddict pen over the weekend... so far all good things! Cleanly executed as I would expect from Spoke. Their Kickstarter campaign starts tomorrow, but keep an eye out for a full review soon.
