Kaweco Sunrise and Sunset Special Edition now at Fontoplumo (Sponsor)

Well isn’t this a sunny surprise!

Fontoplumo has been on a roll with special editions, and this time around, it is the Kaweco Special Edition Sunrise and Sunset.

Kaweco Sport fountain pens are some of the most fun and functional pens on the market, and these two models add another bright color to an already vivid lineup. The Sunrise model features a warm yellow barrel with silver trim and silver steel nib, while the Sunset model uses the same barrel and changes out the trim and nib colors to gold. The end result is one of the most fun Kaweco Sport barrels I’ve seen to date.

The Kaweco Sunrise and Sunset are Fontoplumo exclusives and are a single production run. When the sun finally sets and these are gone, they are gone for good. At just € 25,00 (€ 20,66 outside the EU), and with your choice of Fine, Medium, or Broad nibs, they are sure to be popular.

My thanks to Fontoplumo for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

Kensa Pen and Mechanical Pencil, now on Kickstarter (Sponsor)

What if you could build your perfect pen and pencil around a classic design you already know and love? The Kensa Pen and Mechanical Pencil aims to do just that.

The traditional hexagonal barrel of disposable ballpoints is well known for it’s style, but not its durability or writing experience. The Kensa Pen and Pencil upgrades every part of your writing experience, with aluminum, brass, or stainless steel barrels, plus your choice of high-quality Schmidt refills (also compatible with Parker-style) and pencil mechanisms.

Apt Studio, makers of the Kensa, designed a unique twist mechanism to deploy the pen refill, allowing them to keep the barrel diameter a more traditional width. Each pen and pencil also comes with a strong, single-piece aluminum clip that is removable to suit your carrying needs.

Starting at $35, the Kensa Pen and Mechanical Pencil is an iconic design, built to write a lifetime of words. My thanks to Apt Studio for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

Beautiful new Conid Monarch Minimalistica now at Fontoplumo

Conid and Fontoplumo are back with another wonderful collaboration: Introducing the Conid Monarch Minimalistica.

For round two of this perfect pairing, the Minimalistica barrel was chosen, with a clear demonstrator style and orange ebonite ends. The result is stunning. Plus, you get Conid’s fantastic filling system, large ink capacity, and your choice of steel or titanium nib.

Take a look at the video, and head over to Fontoplumo to learn more about the Conid Minimalistica. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
