Karas Kustoms Mini Fountain K And Papier Plume Ink Now At Vanness Pens (Sponsor)

Karas Kustoms is one of the most innovative machined pen manufacturers on the market. Whether it is unique barrel materials, or bright, brilliant anodizing, they do it right. The Mini Fountain K is their latest release, and is a pocket rocket of fountain pen fun.

There are basic Aluminum and Brass models, but the real fun lies in your ability to mix up materials and colors. My favorite is the Brown Anodized Aluminum with Copper Section, followed closely by the Blue/Black Anodized combo.

No matter your style, Karas Kustoms has a pen that fits you. To receive 10% off your Karas Kustoms purchase, use the code “penaddict” at checkout.

If you are looking for the perfect ink match for your new pen, Papier Plume now has their own ink lineup available at Vanness Pens. The colors range from the vibrant Peacock Blue, to the subtle Moss Green, to Oyster Grey, which is a personal favorite and part of the Pen Addict Ink Sampler.

Karas Kustoms and Paper Plume ink make a wonderful writing combination, and Vanness Pens is your source for both. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

New Pilot Vanishing Point Limited Edition And Bookbinder's Exclusive Ink Now At Anderson Pens

One of my most used pens is the Pilot Vanishing Point, and the new 2016 Limited Edition Guilloche model has rocketed to the top of the must-have list.

This design takes its inspiration from chased hard rubber pens from the early 1900’s, featuring precise, interwoven lines flowing throughout the body of the pen. The result is a subtle texture and stunning look that sets it apart from other Vanishing Points.

If you are looking for a fresh ink to use in you new pen, Anderson Pens is the only authorized US retailer of Bookbinder’s Ink from Australia. Colors such as Emerald Boa and Everglades Ratsnake jump off the page as much as their snake-related names.

To complete the writing trifecta, Life Notebooks offer some of the best fountain pen paper on the market. This Japanese brand comes in several formats, styles and colors to meet your writing needs. The light green Pistachio paper is a personal favorite of mine.

Anderson Pens has everything you need to Ink It Up and get writing. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
