Celebrate 10 Years With Cult Pens (Sponsor)

Cult Pens - purveyors of pens, pencils, papers, inks and everything in between - turns 10 years old this week!

Since they started out much has changed, but one thing that has stayed constant is their mission statement: 'Sell Pens. Be Nice.'

New this month is another addition to their range of products that have been designed in-house. Following on from the success of their mini fountain pen - which was produced in collaboration with Kaweco - and their Deep Dark Inks - made for them by Diamine, Cult Pens now present their vision for the perfect mechanical pencil. Double-knock mechanism, strong metal barrel, lovely knurled grip and a useful pocket clip. Available in 0.5 and 0.7 lead sizes the cult pencil cannot be found anywhere else. For a limited time, the cult pencil is available with a free pack of Pentel's wonderful Ain Stein lead - stronger, darker and easier to erase than competing brands.

Cult Pens is also stocking the hot, new Kaweco Brass Sport lineup, which features a fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint, and pencil. They also have loads of great deals on their Special Offers page.

A huge congratulations is in order for 10 great years of Cult Pens. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

Get 20% Off Your Order At Cult Pens (Sponsor)

There is no wonder why Cult Pens has a cult following in the stationery world. They do an incredible job of hunting down and stocking the newest pens, pencils, paper, and accessories. Just look at some of the latest additions to their ever-growing inventory:

As someone who always has an active notepad on their desk, the classic look of the Exacompta Desk Pad checks all the boxes for me. It features a retro looking metal non-slip base filled with 200 sheets of high quality, perforated Exacompta paper. Several different sizes are available in plain or squared ruling, and refill packs will keep you stocked as you doodle your way through that conference call.

I'll admit it: I have a thing for wooden pencils. There is something about the feel and feedback of graphite on the page, and as far as style goes, the limited edition Les Crayons de la Maison from Caran d'Ache are some of the most beautiful I have laid eyes on. Made from rare and certified woods from around the world, the fourth edition in this series is a head-turner.

Calepino Notebooks are made right across the English Channel from Cult Pens in Nantes, France and feature beautiful, simple designs in their pocket notebooks. Choose from blank, ruled, squared, or dot grid, and add in their functional Metal Line Markers to keep your notes organized.
