As we arrived home from the Arkansas Pen Show, we received notification that a new TWSBI ECO in Slate Blue and Onyx is on its way to us and set to begin shipping as soon as they arrive (Friday 3/28 or Monday 3/31, depending on UPS). We also have stock of the latest Lamy releases, the Kaweco Collection Sport in Honey, the Lochby Field Folio, and a large Notsu restock. Check out our recap of the recent 2025 Arkansas Pen Show for a discussion of what was popular among attendees, because some of the choices really surprised me!
I need to post more before and after photos of how these products wear: A new Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter cover (left) vs. my 7+ year-old version of the same model (right).
Come see us in person! Our brick and mortar location is open today (Thursday 3/27) from 1pm-6pm, tomorrow from 1pm-6pm, and Saturday from 10am-6pm. We will have special hours next week, probably Wednesday and Thursday due to the Atlanta Pen Show the following weekend, so stay tuned!
TWSBI ECO Slate Blue Fountain Pen (Pre-Order). The new TWSBI ECO “Slate Blue” model is now available for pre-order, with pens starting to ship March 28th! This is TWSBI’s second ECO model that features the black-plated “onyx” trim, which has proven extremely popular.
Lochby Field Folio A5. Just like the Lochby Field Journal, only with a zippered closure instead of a clip. The Field Folio also includes an interior pen slot, as opposed to the elastic pen holder on the outside of the Field Journal. Additional stock is on the way as these proved popular in Arkansas!
Lochby “Sidekick”. This versatile folio can be used as a cover for A7 notebooks (a Lochby version is on the way), a wallet with a pen slot, or both. Available in three classic Lochby colors of brown, navy, and charcoal.
New Lamy Safaris and AL-Star Fountain Pens. The Lamy AL-Star is now available in the “Denim” and “Aubergine” finishes, and the Safari has added the new “Scarlet” color to the standard Safari lineup.
Uni Jetstream Prime Lite Touch 3-in-1 Multi Pens. These upscale multi pens from Uni feature the latest Jetstream ink formulation, and we also have the refills! I made sure to stock up given how quickly these sold out last time.
Taccia/Teranishi “Roughna” Sketch Inks. These water-resistant inks come in four vibrant colors perfect for writing or drawing. Earth Blue and Earth Green are fabulous shades.
Notsu Index Card Systems. These Notsu Index card stands (complete with fountain pen friendly index cards) have been difficult to keep in stock. Use them to plan your day or week, as you like, and the cards are scored to allow you to fold them for easy carry.
Blackwing Volume 11 “Bill Russell” Edition. This gorgeous black and dark green pencil features the soft graphite found in the matte edition, and is designed as an homage to basketball great Bill Russell. We also have the matching Volume 11 Blackwing “Slate” notebook, which comes with a Volume 11 pencil tucked into the holder.
Blackwing Volume 574 Native American Art Pencil. By far the most admired of the Blackwing Volumes at the pen show this past weekend, the finish on these really pops in person. Don’t miss the matching A4-sized bound ledger journals, which are a must for history enthusiasts.
Common Modern “La Moitié” HB Pencils. These half-dipped pencils, made by Viarco, feature three different color schemes paired with natural wood.
Lochby waxed canvas will wear to a “faded sailcloth” look, but you can also reapply wax to darken it again. Personally I love a worn look on a notebook cover.
