Sailor Bespoke Pens And Nibs Now At Anderson Pens (Sponsor)

I am a big Sailor Fountain Pen fan, and when I want to shop the latest and greatest that Sailor has to offer, I shop with Anderson Pens.

In less than three years, Anderson Pens went from being the newest, smallest
Sailor account to being one of three US dealers to be honored with the Sailor Bespoke line. Bespoke means hand-made, with over 20 different nib options and numerous body options not available in the standard Sailor lineup. Combine the two for the most personalized Sailor fountain pen available.

The nibs are the stars of the Sailor bespoke lineup, and to get you started Anderson Pens has created a guide to the all of the 21 karat gold Bespoke Nib offerings. The Naginata-Togi and Cross Point are great entry points, with wonderful Music, Fude, and Concord nibs to choose from, among others.

Barrel models for the Bespoke line include the 1911 Standard, 1911 Large, Professional Gear, Ribbed, and of course the King of Pen and King of Pen Urushi models.

Creating your own Sailor Bespoke pen is not something you can do anywhere at any time, and having this option at Anderson Pens is fantastic.

Pen Uno + Pencil Uno Now On Kickstarter (Sponsor)

Writing instruments have been a design challenge for thousands of years. Ensso, a small design studio in Los Angeles, step up to the challenge of creating a new pen with a simple yet powerful solution. Pen Uno is the study of liberating a pen of unnecessary parts and ornaments.

After a very successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, Pen Uno is back as an exciting pen and pencil combo. This new super minimal all-aluminum pen has been redesigned so it can be transformed into a mechanical pencil by switching two parts only. When a pen, it uses the beloved Hi-Tec-C Coleto ink cartridge, and as a pencil it uses standard 0.5 mm leads.

Pen Uno is one of the thinnest pens in production at only 5.3 mm in diameter. The grip section is wider for a very comfortable writing experience and also doubles as twisting cap to protect the pen tip when not in use. A few turns of the barrel will open or close the pen. Pen Uno is machined out of aluminum anodized in five distinct colors: space grey, gold, rose gold, red, and black.

The Pen Uno and Pencil Uno start at just $25 individually, with the Pen + Pencil converter kit starting at $35.
