Site sponsor Goldspot asked me to participate in their community gift guide this year, but there was one catch: I had to make a video! I’m getting used to being in from of the camera more with my Twitch streams, and have been uploading them to my YouTube channel for later viewing. So, I figured why not? Enjoy my video, and be sure to check out all of the participants this year below:
The name is a mouthful - Kokuyo Jibun Techo Biz Diary 2020 - and so are the insides of this “not a planner, but a system.” The Jibun Techo has gained steadily in popularity over the years, especially for those that need more than a day-per-page breakdown. The main section of this diary is the two page per week layout, with a 24 hour column for each day. It also has monthly calendars, project pages, and entertainment checklists. It’s a lot, and it can be yours. Read the rules below, and enter away!
Brad Sunderland spent the last couple of years upgrading machinery and streamlining the manufacturing process, and is happy to announce that the Sunderland Machine Works MK1 is available once again.
The MK1 has long been a favorite of mine for several reasons. For starters, there are no threads visible on the pen, and yet the cap screws on and off AND posts on the back. The front-end threads are hidden neatly in a slot under the grip section, and screw into the threads inside the cap for secure closing.
When posting, the cap slides deeply on the back end of the barrel, which has a slight taper to accommodate this. The cap is fit with a polymer liner, which not only keeps the posted cap in place, but also prevents metal on metal scratching.
The clip is machined from a block of stainless steel, making it strong and durable. And, the MK1 comes in several cool anodized colors - orange, green, blue, and red - plus standards such as grey, black, and clear anodization.
The Sunderland MK1 fits all Pilot G2 compatible refills - such as my favorite, the Pilot Juice - plus Montblanc’s screw-in refills for their rollerball and fineliner.
Check out all of the options available at Sunderland Machine Works, and pick out your favorite today. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
