We received another shipment of the Kaweco Softfeel Sketch Pencils! These are among my favorite of the “Sketch-Up” models, and I intend to keep them around as long as I can find stock.

Thursday Drops: Pencils, Pencil Sharpeners, Kaweco, Kakimori and More!

July 11, 2024

As we approach our move-in date to our new physical location (yay!), we’re in the process of going through our current inventory warehouse and updating our stock. You may see some items we thought were sold out reappear, as with the Kakimori items listed below, and we are also taking the time to reevaluate some lines to make room to bring more in. Anything marked as “Sale” or “Clearance” on the site will likely not be restocked going forward, so take advantage of this opportunity!

The recently arrived Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto Multi Pen is available with dozens of different refills, and we’ve put a lot of time into making assortments of the various color families.

We currently have plenty of pens in stock from Pilot, TWSBI, Lamy, Kaweco, and Caran d’Ache, including fountain pens, ballpoints, and rollerballs, and also an extensive selection of gel and multi pens as well as pencils. We look forward to showcasing all of these with new display options after we move and you can come see us in person!

  1. Caran d’Ache Pencil Sharpening Machines. I’ve been looking to bring these gorgeous pencil sharpeners into the shop for a while now. These are heirloom-quality desk accessories well below the price point of something like an El Casco but of similar heft and history! More compact “Mini” versions are also available.

  2. Viarco Vintage-Style Pencils. This week we received a large restock of Viarco woodcase pencils from Portugal, made in one of the last European pencil factories. Made in a range of different vintage styles drawn from the companies archives, these pencils all sharpen extremely well and still stay on the darker side for European HBs. Excellent point retention.

  3. Viarco Pencil Caps. So these spring-style pencil caps are one of this year’s surprise hits, as I can’t keep them in stock. Sold in packs of 8, they fit most standard woodcase pencils and will protect your sharpened point from incidental breakage in your case of choice.

  4. Kaweco Softfeel Clutch Pencils. A T.G.S. favorite, I keep waiting for these to go out of stock as I understand Kaweco doesn’t make them anymore, but for whatever reason I can still get them. (If they’ve started making them again, I’m not complaining as they’re great.) People love the rubberized grip and the black-yellow color combination.

  5. Kaweco Sketch-Up Clutch Pencils. We also have the standard metal Kaweco Sketch-Up in multiple finishes, including chrome, matte chrome, and black plated. The Sketch-Up and Softfeel both make excellent dry highlighters, in addition to the classic sketch pencil. Check out our range of refills here.

  6. Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto Gel Pens. One of our recent large additions was the Hi-Tec-C Coleto Multi Pen line, which features Pilot’s excellent needle-tip Hi-Tec-C gel pen in a multi pen format and a range of colors. There are dozens of different refill options, and we also offer assortment packs if you’d like to try them out before stocking up.

  7. Zebra Sarasa Grand Vintage Gel Pens. We recently added a high-end gel pen option to our lineup of available pens, and these “Vintage” Sarasas feature matching barrel-ink options in black-infused colors that are more subtle than many gel pens out there. Don’t sleep on these, as they’re excellent.

  8. Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter Covers. I will be bringing all of my Roterfaden stock to this year’s D.C. Pen Show the first week of August, so if you’ve been looking to pick one up online and aren’t attending the show, please get your order in soon. These are made to order, so I’m unsure of the timing of any restock either before or after the show.

  9. Stainless Kakimori Dip Nib and Hardbound Notebook. As we prepare for a move to our new space, we’ve come across a few stray items that inadvertently weren’t listed on the site, including a handful of items from Kakimori. I do intend to restock this line but they can take a while to ship from Japan.

  10. Blackwing “Illegal” Pads. Many thanks to Mike over at Inkdependence for his video review of the Blackwing legal pads. I really love this paper, especially the old-school traditional legal lined ruling. Dot and Grid options are also available.
