August Sponsor Spotlight

Sponsor support is very important to me here at The Pen Addict. My sidebar advertisers put their faith in me to deliver good value for them month in and month out, and I want to shine the light on the best of the best for you. If you are shopping for pens, paper, inks, and more, please check out these great companies and see what they have to offer. Some recent highlights:

Pen Chalet gets tropical with a new release of the always popular Caran d’Ache 849 ballpoint pen lineup. The bright gradients are really fun.

Goldspot has the new Pelikan Classic M200 in Smoky Quartz, and also has sets available with the matching Edelstein limited edition ink.

Anderson Pens now has Kobe Ink available, with some of the best shades Sailor has produced, such as Ikuta Orange and Marchais Blue.

JetPens has all of the Doughnut Macaroon Backpacks in stock, including the original, and new Mini size. These flew out the door last time so act now if you have been waiting.

Vanness Pens

Life Stationery is a favorite brand around these parts, and Vanness Pens carries the full lineup of goods from this wonderful Japanese company.

The Margin A5 and B5 notebooks are the newest arrivals, along with the A5 and B6 Spiral Bound notebooks. Each contains some of the best fountain pen friendly paper on the market, with smooth sheets and no feathering to speak of. Their Airmail Writing Pads and Envelopes also provide you the perfect letter writing kit for all of your correspondence.

Vanness Pens has all the pens, ink, and paper you need in your life, and even offers free shipping on US orders over $40. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

TiScribe-Pencil Now On Kickstarter

The ultimate bolt-action pen is back - as a pencil! Available in 0.5mm, 0.7mm, and 0.9mm. The TiScribe-PNCL is a 100% CNC machined pencil made from Titanium, Copper, or Brass. It integrates the clip, bolt button, and bolt carrier into one unit. The entire assembly is held together using a three-point system. This means the bolt button will never loosen.

The campaign has cracked $20K and 200 backers is just a few days and is already funded several times over. My thanks to Urban Survival Gear for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
