Pentel Sharp Kerry Mechanical Pencil Winner

I smiled when I saw this comment come in as an entry for the Pentel Sharp Kerry giveaway, and thought wouldn't that be funny if he won. Well, the lords of the random like to play tricks sometimes, and wouldn't you know:

Believe me, I have neither the time or the interest in playing around with the contest results for a good story. Never have, and never will. But this turned out pretty cool I must say.


So Rip Van, you have one week to claim your prize. Please leave a comment on this post, and email me your shipping address using my address on the sidebar. Don't sleep on it!

#OnePenOneDay Blue Sharpie Pen

Sharpie Pen - Blue


The Sharpie Pen is one of my all time favorites, so I had no trouble using this pen all day long for the #OnePenOneDay project.


The long, slender barrel is very comfortable, and the plastic tip doesn’t break down as quickly as other similar type pens. I don’t even mind the sharp edge in the grip area, but it looks like that has been taken care in a recent update. I also like the original lighter blue ink more than the darker blue, which is the more common shade.


The picture above shows the paint chipping problem that many people encounter. I prefer to say that my pen has been loved. There is no reason to not own at least one of these pens.

Pentel Kerry


I just reviewed this pencil yesterday, and while I expressed my never ending love for it, I don’t want it to get lost in the shuffle of pens and pencils here at Casa de Pen Addict. I want to give my bright red Kerry a good home, so this is your chance.


This giveaway is for my review sample of the Pentel Sharp Kerry reviewed right here. The pencil is not new in the package, but is essentially brand new outside of my testing and review, and is in perfect condition. Here is how to enter:

  3. For this contest, I will pick one winner at random from the comments section of this post. The comments will be numbered in the order they are received, i.e. the first comment is #1, the second #2, and so on.
