We’ve been holding back a bit on promoting some excellent Pilot Multi Pens because we still hadn’t received our shipment of refills. Well, that’s no longer an issue! We have stock of the Pilot 4+1 Multi Pens (which take the BVRF-8 refill), as well as the Pilot Legno 2+1 Multi Pen (which takes a D1 refill, and we can now offer the Pilot Acro Ink version!) I’m especially excited to have these Acro Ink D1 refills in stock, because it’s yet another option for all the D1 Multi Pens we carry, such as the Lamy 2000, Lamy Logo, Lamy CP1 and Lamy ST (all of which are now back in stock).

Uni has sort of cornered the market on low-viscosity ballpoints and multi pens, at least here in the U.S., but Pilot’s Acro Ink is very good, and I’ve always had a positive experience with the Acroball and Dr. Grip pen lines. I would characterize the ink as slightly more like a traditional ballpoint than Jetstream ink, but it’s smooth, dark, and dries quickly. If you haven’t tried this one yet, it’s certainly worth checking out! I’ve also created a general multi-pen category in the store, to make it easier to see all the different options together.

Just a friendly reminder that our local shop is closed this upcoming Friday and Saturday because we will be attending the Washington, D.C. Pen Show! We will have special hours on Thursday (10am-2pm), and if there is something you’re looking to pick up at the store you can always make an appointment to shop in person. I hope to see many of you this weekend!
