Except for a handful of backorder items, all of the Fountain Pen Day orders have been shipped! Many thanks to everyone who supported us last weekend, either in-person or online, and it made for one of our most successful events ever! This week we’re busy restocking and getting ready for the holidays, and the week after Fountain Pen Day is the perfect time to, well, take a brief break from fountain pens. :) We have restocked on favorite gel pens, including the Uni Zento Flow and Uni Zento standard, as well as the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto Multi Pens. We also have a fresh shipment of goods from Yamamoto Paper in Japan, including their new “Canopus Note” A5 Notebooks, as well as more Bible-size Bullet Jotters and Bullet Jotter Refills.
We’re restocking on most of our papers in advance of the holiday season.
We are open in-store normal hours this week, from 1-6pm Thursday and Friday and 10am-6pm on Saturday. Please come by and see these and more in-person!
Yamamoto Paper Canopus Note A5 Notebooks. Canopus is Yamamoto’s latest paper experiment, specially formulated for a soft writing feel and excellent color reproduction for brighter inks with shade and shimmer. Hopefully availability remains consistent as this paper has been quite popular.
Uni Zento Flow and Zento Standard Gel Pens. The Uni Zento is the latest Japanese gel pen craze, featuring an ultra-smooth, low-friction writing experience that makes for a great daily driver. The Zento Flow features an upgraded metal barrel for increased durability, while the standard comes in a range of colors. (All pens have black ink.)
Uni Jetstream Prime Lite-Touch Special Editions. We’ve received a new shipment of Jetstream Prime Lite-Touch pens in special edition colors. Note that these are standard .5mm retractable ballpoints and not multi pens.
Uni Jetstream Prime Lite-Touch 4+1 Multi Pens. But we do have new 4+1 Multi Pens in new special edition colors, this time with a gloss finish! As is typical for Japanese market Jetstream limited editions, these are in nice muted pastel shades.
Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto 1000 Multi-Pens. The higher-end 4 slot Coleto barrels are back in stock! Available in matte black, matte brown, silver, blue, and red. Refills are sold separately (link below), allowing you to build your perfect multi pen using Pilot’s cult favorite needle-tip gel refill.
Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto Refills. We have Hi-Tec-C Coleto refills available in tip sizes ranging from .38mm to .5mm, as well as mechanical pencil options.
Yamamoto Paper Bullet Jotters (Bible-Size). These compact notepad holders were a big hit at the D.C. Pen Show in August, and the paper inserts will work with most Bible-size 6-ring binders if you punch-holes in the paper. Each Jotter holds two pads of paper, and ships with one each of Slight White and Soliste.
Yamamoto Paper Bullet Pads. We now have additional Bullet Jotter refills with Sanzen Tomoe River, Slight White, and Meringue Paper available.
Pilot G-Tec-C4 Gel Pens. The needle-tip Pilot Hi-Tec-C was the first Japanese gel pen that captured my imagination all the way back in 2014 when I started this blog, and the “G-Tec-C4” is the .4mm U.S. market version. We have a limited quantity in black and blue. (It’s the standard stick-pen version of the Hi-Tec-C Coleto multi pen.)
Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter TGS_25 “A5-Slim”. We continue to have stock of our special edition Roterfaden cover in the A5-Slim size, which will fit Traveler’s Standard, Ro-biki Standard, and other similarly sized refills and accessories. Don’t miss our new color, since this now comes in light grey as well as the dark green.
We’ve greatly expanded our selection of high-end specialty notebooks from Japan, including these hardcover Tomoe River notebooks as well as softcover in both 52gsm and 68gsm.
