	Pentel Keityo Double Sided Sign Marker Pen - Black & Gray Ink I love this pen. Both..., May 27, 2012 By uek... I love this pen. Both sides write cleanly with great color. It feels good in my hand and is perfect when you don't want to carry a large pen case. Personally I like a very fine point for note taking (0.35 at most) but this would be a great writing pen for many people. I use it for drawing and designs. For a minimal drawing kit i take this pen, a mechanical pencil with good eraser and a small sketch book. I make puppets and swear by two color design drawings. One color for the look of the puppet and another for the controls. Highly recommended!
	Zebra Tapli Clip Ballpoint Pen - 1.6 mm - Black Body - Black Ink I Love this PEN!!!! ..., May 26, 2012 By lad... I Love this PEN!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!
	Pentel Sharp Drafting Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body My favorite pencil ever...., May 26, 2012 By dba... My favorite pencil ever. I've used (as I like pencils) probably most mechanical (and wooden) pencils available mostly from Germany and Japan, two countries that produce quality products, costing from few dollars to over $50 each but, I always come back to this classic pencil. It just becomes part of my hand with its lightness and shape, I can use it all day while most other pencils I either get uncomfortable or bored after some time. I mostly use 0.3mm and 0.7mm so I can have two different thickness in lines (0.5 and 0.7 is too close for me) but 0.5 and 0.9mm can be used for this purpose too. 0.3mm pencil (brown barrel) is currently not distributed by Pentel USA but is by web shops, especially if you order from Europe or Asia. eg, pixiemall (Korea) or stationeryart from Hong Kong and many Japanese sites. 0.3 (p203) is probably the best 0.3mm pencil ever made. I'm surprised JetPens does not carry it yet.

	Uni-ball Alpha Gel Pencil - 0.5 mm - Blue Grip YAY! IM GONNA GET THIS..., May 25, 2012 By mic... YAY! IM GONNA GET THIS SOON MY FRIEND HAS THE SAME THING AND IT WORKS LIKE SO WELL!:)
	Kokuyo C2 Tray Type Pencil Case - Light Gray + Pink One of the best pencil..., May 25, 2012 By cla... One of the best pencil cases ever! So cute, and it holds a lot for it's size. The way it opens up to a tray is great. You can see all your pens/pencils without having to dig around. I have 3 lead packs, 2 block erasers, a Kadokeshi (small), lip balm, a panda Iwako eraser, a mono one, and 13 pens/pencils (a mix of skinny and wide barreled ones) and it's still easy to zipper up.
	Uni-ball Signo Broad UM-153 Gel Ink Pen - Dark Blue Ink Really like this pen...., May 25, 2012 By smeitus Really like this pen. Ink color distinctive. If I write slowly looks great (if I go at scribble speed, handwriting falls apart ) So pen functions as zen device to keep me slow. Also looks better than American versions available at Amazon.
	Zebra Mildliner Soft Color Double-Sided Highlighter Pen - 5 Mild & Fluorescent Color Set I LOVE LOVE LOVE these..., May 25, 2012 By hallegraeme I LOVE LOVE LOVE these highlighters. So tired of the garish colors of regular ones these light pastels are wonderful! I can use these in my Bible, my books, etc, and not feel like I'm degrading the book! At first I didn't think they were double-ended but yes, the write part comes off to reveal a point highlighter, which is perfect for underlining. JETPENS rock!
	Sakura Gelly Roll Regular Gel Ink Pen - 0.3 mm - Blue I've never used a gelly..., May 25, 2012 By hallegraeme I've never used a gelly roll pen that I didn't love! No matter the color, they write so well and makes writing more fun!
	Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pen - Blue Writes as well as my..., May 25, 2012 By hallegraeme Writes as well as my expensive fountain pen, lasts twice as long as a cartridge, and ships out FAST. Best company ever!!!!

	Pilot Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink - 50 ml Bottle - Kon-peki Deep Ocean Blue (Deep Blue) I've tried many different..., May 25, 2012 By sheldon.holland I've tried many different blues, J. Herbin Saphire and Periwinkle, Pilot's Blue, Parker Blue, and even Platinum Blue Black. This is by far the best ink I have ever used. It flows great, and the color is unbeatable. I need to use blue for office work, and this makes my writing so much more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
	Retro 51 Tornado Classic Lacquers Roller Ball Pen - 0.7 mm - Ice Blue Body I've had the pen for..., May 25, 2012 By dsa... I've had the pen for two weeks now and am loving it. The heft and quality sets it apart. Besides the looks the pen writes great and I get comments all the time on what a nice writing instrument it is. You cannot go wrong with a Retro 51 product, they are solid.
	Ohto Fude Ball Liquid Ink Roller Ball Pen - 1.5 mm - Black Body - Black Ink Love this super, broad..., May 25, 2012 By business Love this super, broad pen! I love broad strokes, and this one is awesome!
	Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto Multi Pen Ink Cartridge - 0.5 mm - Orange Never thought this yellow..., May 25, 2012 By penny.ho Never thought this yellow would stand out on my notes but it looks nice. Its a dark orange yellow. Writes smooth...I like it better than the 0.3mm I bought. Great for note taking~
	Pilot Dr. Grip Play Border Shaker Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Honey Orange Body PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..., May 24, 2012 By zainjaffer13 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-STOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had this on my wish list for months, then it finally came back in stock and write when I was about to type in my address, IT WENT BACK OUT OF STOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	Uni-ball Jetstream 4&1 4 Color 0.5 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen + 0.5 mm Pencil - Bright Series - Purple Body To use the pencil part,..., May 24, 2012 By justina110 To use the pencil part, push the metal clip part down toward the tip. :)
	Kaweco Special AL Mini Lead Holder - 2 mm - Black Body WOW, lucky me, my son..., May 24, 2012 By mo.doma WOW, lucky me, my son (6 years old) has to use a special pencil at school to help with his grip, it requires 2mm lead. So I came to Jetpens to buy 2mm lead and while I was here, looked at a way to use the lead for myself since it made sense to order the lead in larger quantities, shipping blah blah, well I decided on this pencil and WOW!! So its instantly my absolute favorite pencil for so many reasons, I do a LOT of writing in pencil on my job during our busy season and my hand cramps up TERRIBLY because I simply must press forcefully with the pencil due to the need to make multiple copies of the documents, I started using this pencil with 2B lead, WOW first with the 2B you dont have to press as hard, it comes out bold, and this pencil I get absolutely NO cramping in the hand. Its PERFECT!! I had other smaller writing tools in the past, and they didnt fit right, and also lead to hand cramps, the lenght on this is perfect, and I have long fingers, so I imagine this would be usable to almost everyone. Solid metal, its just a fantastic lifelong pencil, I started looking for the pens to go along with, but apparently there are some plastic pieces in there. I will be ordering the full length of this pencil when I need lead again. I cant say enough about this pencil, I like writing instruments a lot, but I am no collector by any means, this pencil I cannot recommend highly enough. The lead lasts a LOOOOOONG time, but you do have to sharpen it often with the softer leads like the 2B, so its not as "productive" as a standard .5mm or anything like that, but really it doesnt take much time to sharpen. It also looks like something from a long long time ago, really cool vintage looking pencil to have laying around the desk, I love this
	Rotring 600 Drafting Pencil - 0.35 mm - Black Body Years ago I had a Japanese..., May 24, 2012 By jki... Years ago I had a Japanese made .3mm Koh-i-Noor and it was the most amazing pencil I had ever used - it traveled with me for many years. Sadly, I dropped it and the Chinese made Koh-i-Noor was absolutely no comparison. In the years since then, I have used old .5mm and .9mm Koh-i-Noors (both Japanese) and struggled my way through. I never sought to replace the pencil after the initial Chinese failings because I had serviceable (though not wholly enjoyable) replacements and my job requirements took me from pen and ink to keys and mice. Now, I spend amazing amounts of time with paper in hand: I needed a replacement! So...I threw caution to the wind and with fear, I plopped down the $33 for the pencil. Now, I said all of that to provide context for my commentary: Wow! The feel of the pencil in-hand is awesome. If you are a "wooden pencil" kind of person, this beast will not satisfy. The balance is awesome. If you have delicate hands, this pencil may not satisfy. The feed is precise and doesn't gum-up with 2B (which can be a problem with other .3mm pencils). For me, the combination of the .3mm size and the super soft 2B allows me to use a feather-light touch to get precise, tiny and dark lines. If you are a drafting pencil junky, you need this pencil. But...you probably already know that. (-:
	Nomadic CB-01 Wise-Walker Multi Compartment Day Backpack - Black Absolutely porous. Everything..., May 24, 2012 By griffinsobel Absolutely porous. Everything in the bag is ruined if you are out in the rain, even with an umbrella. Ridiculous
	Uni-ball Signo (DX) UM-151 Gel Ink Pen - 0.38 mm - Bordeaux Black A terrific color that..., May 24, 2012 By ang... A terrific color that is truly versatile -- simultaneously professional and fun. I use for taking minutes, editing, as well as for spicing up a party invitation or note. A reliably designed pen that has yet to skip, bleed, or go on a lunch break!
	Kaweco Special AL Mini Mechanical Pencil - 0.9 mm - Black Body I have used Kaweco fountain..., May 24, 2012 By jtc... I have used Kaweco fountain pens for many years because they really do fit in your pocket and they work well enough, especially the aluminum models. (As they say about cameras: the best fountain pen is the one you actually carry with you.) Likewise, I was looking for a 0.9mm mini pencil. This might be the only one available. I have had it only a couple of days and it seems to work well enough. I would give it 5 stars but I think it is overpriced. On the other hand, there is no competition, so it is hard to compare prices. Lamy makes a similar sized pencil but it is not available in 0.9mm - and it costs almost exactly the same.
	Pilot B2P Bottle to Pen Gel Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - Blue Ink My purchases: I bought..., May 24, 2012 By parallels9 My purchases: I bought B2P in colors black and blue. In dim-lighting, the identical barrel coloration and design of each pen make the pens very difficult to differentiate. I think the only noticeable ink indicators are only visible under brighter light: the lighter blue ink of the blue pen, the pen clicker colors, and the written color indicators on the pen labels. I have found it too easy to accidentally presume the dark-blue barrel of the black pen indicates blue ink, or vice versa, since the barrels are the exact same in dark-blue plastic coloring. I think this is a minor, or maybe major, problem, with implications for many specific writing needs and particular environment conditions; and due to it, I have limited my use of B2P pens for informal, casual, non-professional use only. My issues with the B2P identical barrel coloration aside, for such a reasonable price, and very cool concept, buying several B2P pens seemed like a great idea, and I would buy more again. The pen cost is inexpensive for the higher quality of pens I believe I have with my B2Ps compared to even cheaper alternatives. So, considering the low-cost alone, and noble cause to bring awareness to environmental implications, overall I think the B2Ps are better than OK. The ink performance is good, and up to the standard of quality I have gratefully experienced from all Pilot pens. In the future though, I would consider buying or using only one of the three colors of B2P ink options available... I hope this information is helpful to you!

	Zebra Knock Highlighter Pen - Yellow I find the design simple..., May 24, 2012 By mst... I find the design simple and sleek, and the way the click performs fascinated me for quite some time. I like my highlighters very, very bright, and this pen was satisfying. However, the downside was it started to run dry within the first week.
	Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen - 05 Medium Nib - Black Ink Love, love, love this..., May 24, 2012 By nhartzog Love, love, love this pen. The nib is very smooth and ink is a nice wet flow no matter how long it's been since I have used it. Who would ever think such an inexpensive pen would perform so well. I have some very expensive pens; Sheaffer's, waterman, pelican that don't write nearly as well. I plan to turn this into an eye dropper after I use up the cartridge that was included. It's definitely not impressive to look at and I wish it didn't have the writing on the barrel but that is a small complaint and doesn't in any way affect the performance. If you don't have one of these I would highly recommend that you give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
	P+G Pochi Silicone Slim Pen Case - Green Love it! It's just the..., May 23, 2012 By mceciliamurphy Love it! It's just the right size, light weight and closes with a satisfying and secure snap.
	Uni-ball Pure Malt Wood Grip 2 Color 0.7 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen + 0.5 mm Pencil - Navy Body - Limited Edition The Uni-Ball Pure-Malt..., May 23, 2012 By and... The Uni-Ball Pure-Malt is a good pen for the price. I have purchased three so far...one a navy Limited Edition. I use that one every day. The inks (black, blue, and red) are vivid and flow easily. I haven't noticed any skipping yet. I would like to see Uni-Ball produce a "3+1" version and utilize the fourth slot inside the pen body. The clip could be improved but it works well. I'd prefer a metal one along the lines of the Pilot Dr. Grip 4+1 multi-pen. I like the form and it fits well in my hand when I've got a lot of writing to do. The fact that the upper portion of the barrel is plastic with a metalicized finish is fine.
	Kokuyo Dual Head Keshipita Correction Tape - 6 mm X 10 m Finally a correction..., May 23, 2012 By jlanedc18 Finally a correction tape that you can count on. This is the first of its kind that I have had no problems with, the first to be able to use the full reel of tape. I have had no problems with it twisting, unwinding, or simply not working. It is the first that is easy to guide and comes out with ease. I was expecting the worst (or at least the same as the others I have used, which happens to be many) and was delivered the best. The tape stays down and holds up well writing over it. I have not tried pencil but all types, brands, styles, colors, and sizes of pen, have been no problem. If you use correction tape then you will not want to wait any longer before ordering this product. I can assure you there is non-other like it on the market (at least in the US) I have tried every style from the leading brands as well as all of the generic office supply store brands, and obviously I have tried all of the other brands jet pens offers. I will say it is not as cute as the birdie but it works much better.
	Rotring 600 Drafting Pencil - 0.5 mm - Silver Body This precision-constructed..., May 23, 2012 By wagneric This precision-constructed pencil has amazing balance, a solid mechanism with no play, and is altogether a pleasure to use for work and hobbies. The grip is perfect for me, with the knurling not too rough and a comfortable diameter, but -- judging from other reviews -- it clearly does not work for everyone. I think it might be cooler if it were made out of titanium, and if the entire mechanism were stainless, and if the tip were retractable, but at this price it's great! I machined a cap for it out of polycarbonate, just to make it pocket-friendly!
	Pilot Automac Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Diamond Silver Body Dear Jetpens, ..., May 23, 2012 By mel... Dear Jetpens, You have GOT TO RESTOCK THIS PLEASE!! I have wanted this pencil for soo long and you guys wont restock it so please restock and it would make me so happy!! Thanks alot nick
	Rotring 600 Drafting Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body I love these pencils...., May 23, 2012 By greatfulbread I love these pencils. I have been using them for years, very technical, and although expensive are worth the cost. I found them here on http://www.google.com and glad I got such a good deal!
	Uni-ball Vermilion Red and Prussian Blue Wooden Pencil - 7:3 - Pack of 12 Wow! what a difference..., May 23, 2012 By ssy... Wow! what a difference from using a prismacolor carmine red color pencil. The lead is very smooth and NOT crumbly, the color is well saturated and what a joy to use.
	Uni-ball Alpha Gel HD Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Chrome Green Body - White Grip I have a left-handed,..., May 23, 2012 By mailkimg2 I have a left-handed, 13 yr old daughter with many sensory issues, and according to her, this is a great pencil. She loves the squishy feel, and I think the little bit of extra weight keeps her focused when she writes. She loves this color, and I'll be ordering her refills soon because it's already on my mind for school starting up again in August. In all seriousness, if my daughter's happy, it's worth sharing with the world.
	Pelle Leather Journal - Rustic Saddle - Medium + 1 Plain Linen Paper Notebook (4.3" X 6.8") Insert - 64 Pages I've owned a Midori Travelers..., May 23, 2012 By bob... I've owned a Midori Travelers Notebook for years - it's clear these folks have worked hard to copy every aspect of that product from the linen sleeve to the packaging to the dimensions of the notebook to the way inserts are held by the notebook. The same way I'm not going to by a Bolex watch, I'm really, really reluctant to endorse the Pelle, regardless of where it's made. A knockoff is a knockoff.
	Pentel Sliccies Gel Ink Multi Pen Ink Cartridge - 0.4 mm - Milk Blue This is a very nice color!..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 This is a very nice color! It looks very nice wih the Golden Orange color; I love using them together.
	Pentel Sliccies Gel Ink Multi Pen Ink Cartridge - 0.3 mm - Golden Orange This is a really nice..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 This is a really nice color! It looks especially nice with the Milk Blue refill color. Really enjoy using.
	Pentel Sliccies 2 Color Gel Ink Multi Pen + 0.5 mm Pencil Body Component - Orange I bought this with the..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 I bought this with the 0.3 mm - Golden Orange refill and the 0.4 mm - Milk Blue refill, and I really like the set! The body is a nice light weight with a pleasant shape, and the colors work well together. I love the 2 inks and 1 pencil combination, and find it to be a really fun pen to use. The clear orange body brings me lots of joy to see, too. The different tips/lengths advance and change well; it is a nicely made body/set that is easy to enjoy!
	Zebra Laflleche Sweets Scents Gel Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - Chocolate Scent - Red Ink This ABSOLUTELY smells..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 This ABSOLUTELY smells like chocolate! My friend and I loved the ones I bought us. So yummy... oh yeah, and the red ink is nice, too!
	Staedtler Mars Plastic Eraser This is the best eraser..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 This is the best eraser I think humankind is capable of creating. I've used it for years, and it's the only one I will seek out when I want the perfect erasure of my work. I recommend it to my comic book creation class students as a truly great eraser to get out almost anything. In my own use of them, I've even used it to remove smudges on my apartment walls when cleaning for move out! I recommend it so highly, if it were legal to marry an eraser, I'd ask Staedtler Mars Plastic to be mine forever.
	Iwako Zoo Novelty Eraser - Elephant This guy is adorable!..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 This guy is adorable! I couldn't ever have the heart to have him erase for me, but I keep him on my shelf or in my pencil case to keep me company and smile at. His trunk is detachable, so I take care not to knock him around in my bags too much. :)
	IL Slim Bag-in-Bag - Apple Green I've used this as my..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 I've used this as my main "purse" inside of my messenger bag every day for the last 3 months, and it's so wonderful. It keeps everything organized as advertised, and it's so soft and touchable! The color is as soothing as it's texture, and it's really well made. I can see using this for years. It seems like it could be used well on its own, too. Very good purchase, would purchase again!
	Uni-ball Style Fit Single Color Slim Gel Ink Pen - 0.28 mm - Black I think this is my favorite..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 I think this is my favorite fine drawing pen now. Works wonderfully well on the grained paper of the Maruman Mnemosyne - Word Book - 105 mm X 54 mm - 100 Sheets. Smooth and very fine. I've been using it to draw very fine art cards, and I absolutely love it!
	Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Marker Pen - 0.3 mm - Red Very nice pen. Almost..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 Very nice pen. Almost to prove itself worthy of its "dry-safe" feature, when I opened mine from the mail it had jostled open and had its cap come off during shipping. It still ran red as if I'd just uncapped it! Lol, so apparently these pens are dry-safe AND clever.
	Kuretake Zig Letter Pen CocoIro Pen Refill - Super Fine - Black This is hands-down the..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 This is hands-down the smallest tip I've ever had the pleasure to use. It writes so finely, that I was able to write a poem of 107 words on a 2" post it note, with margins around the outside and between the paragraphs! I was amazed at the quality of the writing, with very smooth, dark ink. The pen "refill" itself handles just fine, but I used it with the Kuretake Zig Letter Pen CocoIro Pen Body - Light Blue, and it was really very pleasant. Definitely recommend for fine/small writing!
	Maruman Mnemosyne - Word Book - 105 mm X 54 mm - 100 Sheets I LOVE this book! It's..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 I LOVE this book! It's the perfect size for a pocket sketchbook, or drawing little art cards. The paper is amazing for pen and ink, and works fantastically with the colored leads I used on it. For the price and how many sheets you get, it's a really great deal if you love doing little sketches or art cards. The paper makes it look very professional when finished, too. To keep it closed I just wrap a hair tie around it, and it's great. I bought one for myself, and another for a friend who sells mini art, to use on the go. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
	Uni-ball Kuru Toga Auto Lead Rotation Mechanical Pencil Flower Collection - 0.5 mm - Black Flower - Limited Edition This limited edition..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 This limited edition is so pretty. Being a fan of the Kuro Toga, I bought another one to enjoy. It feels nice in my hand, sits well. I like knowing it's working as hard as I am when we sit down together.
	P+G Pochi Silicone Slim Pen Case - Black Really fantastic texture,..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 Really fantastic texture, so smooth you want to keep holding it. Perfect size for putting into almost any bag; it's about the size of a glasses case, and only about an inch thick. The black is really nice, I could take it anywhere and it would be the right style to match the occassion. Thanks!!
	P+G Nuu Silicone Pen Case - Blue Very cute! Nice and smooth,..., May 23, 2012 By lucas42 Very cute! Nice and smooth, good size for carrying about 15 regular-sized pencils as mine fit. Very slim and perfect for sliding into my bag. The smoothness really makes me want to keep petting it; everything looks really well made. Has the mild smell of silicone that I believe fades with some air time. I really look forward to using it as a regular pencil bag, and would definitely buy for friends.
	Dong-A Anyball Ballpoint Pen - 1.4 mm - Blue Unreliable. ..., May 22, 2012 By sealand75 Unreliable.
	Uni-ball Kuru Toga Auto Lead Rotation Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body I personally enjoy this..., May 22, 2012 By vectrexlover I personally enjoy this pencil butthe lead rotation thing doesn't work for me. The sensetivity of the roatator should be stronger. I naturally push lightly on a pencil when in use so the lead rotation gimmick doesn't work for me. The little ring of rubber on the tip of the pencil is perfectly placed due to where I grip the pencil.i also think the eraser on the end should be a bit larger and when I put more lead in the end I have to put in one lead stick at a time!! Overall it fits my hand well and I would though prefer reaching for my papermate megalead 0.7mm pencil.
	Pilot Choose Gel Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - Yellow Actually a yellow-orange,..., May 22, 2012 By Nyx... Actually a yellow-orange, like macaroni and cheese. A nice color, just not what I needed. I would have happily purchased this color on its own merits; I just need a yellow to make rainbow progressions.
	Pentel Aquash Waterbrush Pen - Medium - Compact Body This is straight up my..., May 22, 2012 By leigh.cain This is straight up my favorite waterbrush. I like the compact size, it's easy to squeeze out more water as needed, but it doesn't leak. It's comfortable in my hand (though I do have small hands - it's pretty short). I need to order another soon, as I am wearing the brush out! I do wish it came with a plug like the Koi waterbrush, so I can transport it filled in two pieces, to take up less space, but that's my only complaint.
	Pelle Linen Paper Notebook Insert - Large (4.3" X 8.3") - Drawing - 64 Pages I ordered the Drawing..., May 22, 2012 By lei... I ordered the Drawing insert to see if I liked it, and test it with light watercolor. I won't reorder it again after this one is used up, but it's really not bad paper - it's just not what I need for my style of art. This is very heavy, very stiff paper. But it is (understandably) not for wet media - I have tried a couple of watercolor sketches, and you can't push the paint around at all, it buckles (which I don't mind) and it pills (which I do mind). If you were to just do a quick, small wash of color for a visual pop in a sketch, it's ok, though not ideal. For drawing, I'm not fond of the texture with pencil. I like the plain unlined insert better for pencil sketching. With an Pentel Pocket Brush Pen, it's actually pretty good, though the ink shows (not bleeds, just shows) through a little more than I would like. Collage seems like it would work well - the paper stands up to glue well, and the piece I glued on doesn't show any signs of peeling off. Once I use up the unlined insert that came with the Pelle journal, I will use this up by journaling in it, and then just make my own sketch or watercolor inserts.
	Pelle Leather Journal - Brown - Large + 1 Plain Linen Paper Notebook (4.3" X 8.3") Insert - 64 Pages I received my journal..., May 21, 2012 By lei... I received my journal last week, and fell in love with this form factor. It's very portable, fits in my purse/bag very well. It's very customizable. I've added a charm to the elastic closure, I've made my own inserts - grid, sketch paper, watercolor, 2 made of an old map for collaging, and a 2-pocket thing made of an old file folder that will fit around one of the notebook-type inserts. I added an old name tag holder to the inside front cover (with double-sided tape) in the included insert to hold 3x5 cards and making-tape sticker sheets. The stock inserts are a little bigger than 8x8 - and not perfectly square. It's close enough though, that I am making my homemade inserts 8x8 and it works fine for me. The included unlined insert is good paper. I have been using Uniball gel pens for writing, and that works quite nice and smooth; also tried out the light black Aquash Brush Pen filled with Pigment Ink, and it didn't bleed through. What kept me from giving it a top rating is that, rather than being similar to the Midori Traveler's Notebook, it's an outright clone- right down to the positioning of text stamped in the leather, the box printed on the first page of the inserts, the packaging. They didn't take the idea and make it their own, they just imitated. I went with the Pelle because I figured it was a little greener ordering something made here in the US where I am, but after getting it and comparing reviews online that show pictures of both side by side, the outright lift of design is so blatant that it made me uncomfortable.
	Zebra Arbez Piirto Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - White Very cheap!!! Though..., May 21, 2012 By sen... Very cheap!!! Though is a very amazing pencil!!! Very durable for the price especially if you are trying to find something to fill in for that free shipping. Very comfortable to hold in your hand. I love this pencil.
	Pilot AirBlanc Mechanical Pencil - 0.3 mm - Green First of all I would..., May 21, 2012 By anurajd First of all I would like to say that pilot did a really good job with this pencil. I practically use it everyday now. The price is great for a 0.3 pencil. The only reason i gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because the grip attracts a lot of lint and dirt. I can't stand that, so I find my self rubbing it off the grip every couple of minutes.
	Uni-ball Signo (DX) UM-151 Gel Ink Pen - 0.38 mm - Blue Black This is the sweet spot...., May 21, 2012 By tys... This is the sweet spot. The .38mm is not too thing or too bold. I found .4 to be too thick and .3 to be too thin. 0.38mm seems to be the sweet spot. Also, as far as the color, its just the right amount of blue where it doesn't hurt your eyes but its enough blue to distinquish it from black. Its the best!

	Uni-ball Jetstream 4&1 4 Color 0.7 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen + 0.5 mm Pencil - Silver Body This is pretty much the..., May 21, 2012 By youngstoic This is pretty much the only pen I use. Whenever I am in any situation that I need to write I, and am able too, I use this pen. I always have everything. Pencil, a pen, green/red/blue ink pen, its awesome! I used mine for over two years until the pencil clicker started acting funny, catching and holding. I could probably get a new pencil portion or something like that, but I am going to order up on refills and get a green replacement! I absolutely LOVE this pen! Best pen ever made by far! P.S. Make extra/replacement cushions. The gel cushion is fine, but having different materials with different designs/softness would be good, variety is nice. I would like a little thicker extra soft gel cushion myself.
	Morning Glory Mach II Liquid Ink Pen - 0.4 mm - Black The best liquid ink pen..., May 20, 2012 By miphol The best liquid ink pen I have ever used. The ink is distinctly black and flows very smoothly. The nib size is perfect for both writing and sketching.
	Sakura Aqualip Liquid Ink Pen - Clear @Wei... The product..., May 20, 2012 By joki9121 @Wei... The product description was changed since I bought it. It stated that this pen was white and not clear. Jetpens had a Product Type for white pens that seems to be gone now. This pen was under white pens and the product description said it gave off a "pure white color," but Jetpens changed it. Oh well, people will think I'm a liar for my previous review from 3 years ago because Jetpens messed up the product description and corrected it later. But as a clear pen I recall it worked well that way because I was annoyed at the fact that it was a clear pen and not a white pen as it was previously described.
	Metaphys Blanc Fabric Cover Memo Pad - 2.6" X 4.1" - Orange Cover Nice little notebook...., May 20, 2012 By jonathan.probber Nice little notebook. Linen cover feels great in the hand. Flips easily, pages come out readily, but not when you don't want that. Paper high quality.
	Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen - Hard - Blue Body A recent college graduate,..., May 20, 2012 By adjoshi5 A recent college graduate, I did most of my final project with this pen, Franklin Booth Style, old school pen and ink Comic book illustrations, these things ROCK ! While I admit my hand is very harsh ( I use a .9 lead in my pencils ) that take a toll on these pen's tips ( my pens still have ink, but I have worn out the nibs), but of you have a delicate ( normal ) hand, these things are a godsend for comic book artists and illustrators. I have recommended these to several friends and they love this too. So in short, give these a try, you will wonder why you have never tried these.
	Cplay Sevenroll Leather Pencil Case - Rich Espresso Dark Brown This case arrived in..., May 20, 2012 By mic... This case arrived in a timely manner and in perfect condition. All I can say about this case is wow! I purchased the Rich Espresso Dark Brown since it looked the most professional in my opinion. The case itself is sturdy but not stiff. The leather feels very nice and is very plyable. I filled the case with two pens per slot (while the pens do touch, they aren't rubbing against each other). I wish that I could post a review picture here to show you what my setup looks like. In any case, this pen case is worth the money and I could not be happier with it!
	Saki P-676 Leatherette Pen Case with Handle - Brown This pencil case is amazing...., May 19, 2012 By anurajd This pencil case is amazing. Its a bit smaller in real life than in the picture but it still holds a good amount of stuff.
	Nomadic WR-08 Wise-Walker A4 Shoulder Bag - Black I agree with all of the..., May 19, 2012 By sarahpressman I agree with all of the positives that everyone has said on this bag. It truly is amazing in terms of intelligent design, stylish look, not too big, and a zillion pockets to put everything you need into. I use it daily and really love it. Unfortunately with daily use this bag has not held up as much as I had hoped. Because the bag only has one way to hold it - by the shoulder strap - the strap has started to degrade. The shoulder strap pad has started to fall apart and leaves little bits of black all over my clothing and skin every time I use it and now the white padding underneath is showing through. For such a costly bag I would not have expected this after only a few months of use. It's very disappointing.
	Tombow Kay Coat Double-Sided Fluorescent Highlighter Pen - 10 Color Set Jetpens offers a wonderful..., May 19, 2012 By jlanedc18 Jetpens offers a wonderful array of highlighters to choose from. I have had the pleasure of using every single one (to date except for the new Monami they added this week which is what I am ordering now) and love most of them. The Tombow Kay coat happen to be my least favorite. While I understand why some people will love them for nice color selection or even the quality of ink and the decent flow they produce. But the aspect I dislike about them can't make up for their positive qualities in my opinion. The tips are surrounded by metal to reinforce them I guess but it makes it so you have to be at a very precise angle in order to make a decent line. It makes it very challenging to enjoy using. One of the great things about these highlighters is they are refillable. Jetpens does not carry the charging stations as of now and I am not sure if they ever will but they are out there. If you are familiar with the Staedtler Textsurfer refilling sysetm they sell on this site it is very similar to that. While I am not suggesting you should purchase other items from a competitor that Jetpens carries I do think it is ethical to suggest Writers Bloc as the store you can get refills to these highlighters. I am also OK suggesting that here becasue you would be crazy to buy anything else from there due ti their outrageous shipping charges, limited choice in products, and delayed shipping times. All of which Jetpens does perfectly. However you can at least use them to get your refill stations.
	Tombow Mono Zero Eraser - 2.3 mm - Circle - Black Body This is a nice eraser..., May 19, 2012 By her... This is a nice eraser for erasing micro-details. I'm very happy with it and it complements my larger Staedtler eraser stick. One minor criticism is the mechanism allows the eraser to be pushed back up the sleeve if you apply to much pressure. Not a problem. You don't need to apply much pressure when erasing small detail. However if the sponginess bothers you then just by the refills and stuff it in an extra 2mm leadholder you may happen to have. A leadholder would actually allow you to use up almost the entire eraser because the leadholder jaws require little area to firmly hold the eraser in place. Goodluck
	Kaweco Ice Sport Fountain Pen - Extra Fine Nib - Green Body This is a very good pen..., May 19, 2012 By hrt... This is a very good pen for its price but there are better. The pen is compact but once you post it, its average length. Very comfortable to write with. Its also very light and the color is pleasing to the eyes. Extra fine nib writes great if you write at the right angle. If you deviate just a bit, it'll skip the first letter but go right back to writing smoothly. My Lamy fountain pens doesn't do that at all. (By angle, I mean something like 10 degree difference) Other than that first letter skip at wrong angle, I've had no problem with leaking, skipping or flow issues. It is a great pen and problem is minuscule but I would probably stick to Lamy or keep trying different ones. It takes international short cartridge so huge plus there. I get to use my J. Herbin cartridges! Oh and for those of you used to Japanese tiny nibs, this writes more like a fine nib than extra fine.
	Lamy Fountain Pen Ink Cartridge - Violet Purple - Pack of 5 This is a beautiful ink. Th..., May 19, 2012 By hrt... This is a beautiful ink. The actual color isn't as bright as it looks on packaging. The actual ink is a beautiful darker purple. In some lights, its hard to tell its purple but if you look at it directly, its very clearly a purple. Though the color itself is beautiful, I probably wouldn't buy it again as I was hoping for a more violet than dark purple.
	Lamy Safari Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Charcoal Black Body & Black Clip I love this pen! This..., May 19, 2012 By hrt... I love this pen! This was my first Lamy and I fell in love with it. I used to have a very expensive fountain pen that got stolen. I always wanted another but decided to buy an economical one to start. Boy, am I glad I did! I've bought several more fountain pens since this one and its still my everyday go to pen. (even over my Lamy Al-star!) The shape of the pen was odd but once I held it and started writing, it fit like a glove. Its very comfortable to hold for a long period of time without my hand hurting, which happens quite a bit with smaller or too large pens. Flow is even and doesn't skip. Everything from handmade Italian papers to regular printing papers, it wrote like a dream. There is one cheap post it I have that it doesn't agree with but it's most likely the ink, not the pen. Pen writes beautifully without skips but ink on that post it is blotchy. Otherwise, its a thing of beauty. I bought the fine nib and am perfectly happy with it but I need to purchase an extra fine nib. I prefer my nibs small. If you're used to Asian pens, mainly Japanese, this fine feels more like a medium.
	Zebra V-301 Fountain Pen - Medium Nib - Black Body This one definitely has..., May 19, 2012 By norcross141 This one definitely has some pros and cons. First off, to get it to start insert the refill, then run the complete nib under warm water for a bit. Then hold the pen over a sink or paper towel and pound the base of your hand against the edge of the sink. (Really.) You may earn a slightly bruised hand but it'll get going. I do like a little resistance in writing, but as mentioned below, for those that don't, don't bother. I didn't have the dryout problem mentioned, either, but that's not an uncommon problem to have with fountain pens in general. If you're willing to work with it it's a not-bad pen; pretty smooth overall. If you're a bit of a fountain connoisseur, you can do better. If you are not the patient sort, look elsewhere. ;-)
	Nomadic PE-08 Easy Classification Pencil Case - Black Simply Fantastic. ..., May 18, 2012 By tyl... Simply Fantastic. I use this to keep my pencil and ink supplies in, and everything fits without putting strain on the material. Lots of storage space. Sturdy material, both outside and in. The inner pockets are also well organized, keeping everything snug and secure. Five stars for sure! Love the color too!

This pen is great-- very light, comfortable to hold, and lays down ink very smoothly. It's stylish in an understated way and feels tough enough to take anywhere, which means that it'll get a lot more use than my possibly-too-pretty Watermans. Also, you get some nice flexibility from the fact that the nibs are easy to change.
	Staedtler Mars Plastic Combi Eraser DO NOT BUY THIS!!! It..., May 18, 2012 By cla... DO NOT BUY THIS!!! It DOES NOT erase ink, and if you do buy it and you say "oh I'll just use it as a regular eraser" you can't. If you take off the dark blue cover, it is 1/3 plastic eraser and 2/3 blue rubber.

	Zebra Surari Emulsion Ink Pen - 1.0 mm - Black Ink I LOVE this pen. I bought..., May 18, 2012 By rikku I LOVE this pen. I bought one of each color in 1.0 mm, 2 in black. The first day I brought one to work, I let a nice old lady sign her receipt with it. BIG MISTAKE. She kept saying how nice it writes. I turned around for a second, and she was gone. With my pen. This pen is so awesome, sweet old ladies will steal them from you. Since then, I bought 20 more to be safe. I put a bright orange tag with my name inside the barrel as well, after another old lady tried claiming it was hers. BEST PEN EVER. But watch out for those pen thieves.
	Palomino Blackwing Wooden Pencil - Pack of 12 When I bought these,..., May 17, 2012 By zho... When I bought these, I ideally wanted to use them for notes or homework. Keep this in mind, because I'm no artist. I love how dark and smooth these pencils are, but they're a bit impractical for everyday use. I write extremely lightly, but the lead still loses its point pretty quickly. Even if I rotate the pencil at the end of every word, the line becomes thick very quickly. The only solution is to sharpen the pencil every couple minutes. Also, the unique design of the eraser doesn't really help, since you won't be able to use a pencil holder to make use of that last inch of precious lead. I find that writing with my Rotring 600 with .5mm 4B lead works much better. It's just as smooth, if not smoother than the Blackwing, and there's no need to sharpen every 20 words. Overall, I'm sure the Blackwings have their use for artists or the occasional bold word, but they're not the best for notes.

	Zebra Expandz Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Body - Black Ink Wasn't quite as sturdy..., May 17, 2012 By bra... Wasn't quite as sturdy as I expected, but not a slouch either. The ink is where it loses a star. After writing with the Zebra surari ink, this just doesn't compare. If it had the emulsion ink, it would 5 *'s easily. The ink was reason enough for me to give it to my wife. I write very small and I need a crisp ink. This didn't fit the bill. Aside from that great pen with great slide action.
	Uni-ball Power Tank Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Body - Black Ink Ok, this pen writes in..., May 17, 2012 By ric... Ok, this pen writes in normal conditions as good as any regular ballpoint. Not as good as the Jetstream/Surari/Vicuna, but not too far off. I bought this pen + 1 refill for use in my job. I work security and I find myself standing outside in all weathers writing people in an out using security logs. This will definitely be my "heavy weather" pen.
	Uni-ball Jetstream Ballpoint Pen - 0.5 mm - Basic Series - Black This isn't too bad! ..., May 17, 2012 By ric... This isn't too bad! I find that for me the 0.7 is the best formula of smoothness and boldness. I ordered this one as a curiosity to see how the famous Jetstream series would handle itself in this tip size. I purposely tried this on CHEAP paper. No fancy journals or notebooks for me! It did fine! I found that if I wrote with less pressure than normal this one wrote almost as nicely as the 0.7 variety. Your mileage may vary, but it worked for me! I now have a smaller tipped pen I can use as needed that's nearly as smooth as the 0.7.

	Pilot FriXion Point 04 Gel Ink Pen - 0.4 mm - 3 Color Set These are great for very..., May 17, 2012 By ibu... These are great for very small and detailed accounting work. I don't like writing in pencil, it's too smeary, so have been on the lookout for pens that write small, but then corrections were difficult. The .04 fits the bill perfectly, I can write small on my reports, make notes for others, but then if I have to make corrections or revert a copy to an original and take out my notes, voila--erases right away!! The ink flows well, doesn't smear, and erases cleaned, with not residue or ghost markings. I would highly recommend this to accounting people who like pens, but not the permanence. Of course you wouldn't use these in instances where you would want permanence, like a signature.
	Zebra Penpod Mini Keychain Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Body - Blue Ink Amazing pen for a keyring...., May 17, 2012 By kar... Amazing pen for a keyring. Best one I've ever used because it's so short and easy to carry, yet expands to a reasonable length. I immediately bought several in different colors because I wanted to be sure I'd always have one handy. I did have the problem of the pen opening by accident and lost a couple that way. Finally solved the problem with an o-ring (from the local hardware store) that fits around the top of the pen just below the wide end part. The o-ring narrows the gap between the pen and cap so that it takes a little more effort to push them together to release the cap. It has worked perfectly ever since. O-rings in basic black are a perfect match for the black penpod, but I've never seen o-rings in colors. So I use small rubber bands that match the colors of the caps, and with several twists around the pen, they make passable substitutions for o-rings. I found tiny, bright colored rubber bands in the hair accessories department of my local pharmacy that work quite well.
	Pilot FriXion Point 04 Gel Ink Pen - 0.4 mm - Red Great pen when it works...., May 17, 2012 By myn... Great pen when it works. The last two 0.4 mm Red Frixion pens I've bought did make it past half an inch of writing when they seized up.
	Uni-ball Signo (DX) UM-151 Gel Ink Pen - 0.38 mm - Brown Black I want to disagree with..., May 17, 2012 By jme... I want to disagree with the reviewer that says this color is not dark enough to use for business. I use this pen anywhere I would use a black, or blue-black pen and am quite happy with it. It is especially nice to use if there are several people writing on the same papers, and you can identify your own writing by color. It is not quite as distinctive as blue-black in my opinion, but just subtle enough that few people will notice it unless they know to look for it. Also, I'd like to say that I find the 0.28 and 0.38 pens last much longer than the 0.5 size pens. It's quite noticeable to me. I prefer the 0.38 size overall. The 0.28 can be hard to read for some people depending on the lights or their eyesight, and I avoid the 0.5 just because it runs the ink out too fast. Great pen!
	Pilot Color Eno Mechanical Pencil Lead - 0.7 mm - Red Not bad lead-- it writes..., May 16, 2012 By bosslady Not bad lead-- it writes smooth and has a decent colour-- a bit more pink as the other reviewer mentioned, rather than a true red, but not bad. Biggest drawback about this lead for me is that it really doesn't erase well. Even light strokes fail to erase completely. Strange, because its light blue brother erases completely very easily.
	Pilot Color Eno Mechanical Pencil - 0.7 mm - Soft Blue Body - Soft Blue Lead I love this pencil, and..., May 16, 2012 By bosslady I love this pencil, and more specifically, the lead inside the pencil. It writes smoothly and erases cleanly. I really wish I could give it a full "Good" rating except it has two drawbacks: the lead is very soft and even with a light hand you're constantly clicking out more lead. But worst drawback is that this lead fades in light, and sometimes very quickly. Even in indirect, artificial light your lines will fade to barely visible in a few weeks. In bright natural light I've had my drawing disappear in just a few minutes. I've experienced this on several different papers (and true, some papers are worse offenders than others), but this stuff just isn't very light-fast. Pros: -writes smoothly -goes under inks nicely -ERASES COMPLETELY! Cons: -very soft -not light-fast
