January Sponsor Spotlight

Donuts anyone?

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:

Goldspot has the Fisher Space Pen to end all Fisher Space pens. The Infinium features beautiful titanium designs, and a lifetime guarantee that you will never run out of ink. Out of this world!

Anderson Pens has the latest Retro 51 Limited Edition, called Donut Dollies. Only 918 units of this beautiful Popper were made, so move quickly if you want this one.

JetPens received the new Lihit Lab Smart Fit A5 Cover, featuring a plethora of pockets for all of your carry needs. Six different colors are available, but Orange is the choice.

Ensso is the newest sponsor of The Pen Addict. Widely known for their Kickstarter projects, their online store is now open for business. Their designs are minimal, yet highly functional, and are well worth checking out.

Sunderland Machine Works

If you are looking for the best machined pens money can buy, then Sunderland Machine Works needs to be on your radar.

The MK1 is a personal favorite of mine. The aluminum body is lightweight and durable, the cap posts securely, which is rare for a metal pen, and the anodized colors, such as blue, red, and orange, are striking. Did I mention there are no exposed threads? That too. They are hidden in a very unique way, which I’ve only seen Sunderland Machine Works pull off.

Any Pilot G2 refill will fit, such as my favorite Pilot Juice refill, as well as the screw-in Montblanc cartridges, such as the rollerball and fineliner.

This is a wonderful pen that is well worth checking out. My thanks to Sunderland Machine Works for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
