TiScribe-Pencil Project - Final Hours!

Another successful project is nearly in the books for Kelvin Verrett and Urban Survival Gear. You have just a few hours left to back the TiScribe-Pencil, a wonderfully designed and manufactured pencil that will last you for years to come.

There are several material options, such as Brass, Copper, and Titanium, plus you can add on the TiScribe-Bolt, the original and matching machined pen.

My thanks to Kelvin and Urban Survival Gear for sponsoring the blog this week.

Blog Update and Future Planning

The pen tray of dreams...

Now that pen show season is over - for me anyway - it's time to update and improve the blog over the next several months.

I'm currently working on the revised Top 5 Pens list as we speak and will have that published before the end of the month. I also have a brand new collaborative article series in the works that I think everyone will really enjoy. On top of that, the Pen Addict blog 10th Anniversary is coming in November, so I need to get planning!

I want to know what you would like to see here on the blog and on the podcast. Feel free to leave a comment below, or reach me on Twitter with your thoughts and ideas.

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.
