TGS25 Roterfaden and TGS Rickshaw Collaborations stacked on top of one another

TGS_25 Roterfadens are back in stock, along with our TGS Rickshaw exclusive designed by Nick Dominguez, shown here in the Musette Cross-body Tote Bag.

Thursday Drops: More Roterfaden Taschenbegleiters, Plus a Handful of Lamy Safari Pencils with Kuru Toga Inside!

June 18, 2026

It’s time to start restocking the store in advance of the summer tourist season, as well as the late summer pen show season (though given the pace at which some of these things are going out the door we may need a new order by August)! We have more Roterfaden A5 Slim TGS_25 covers, as well as several different A5 styles with both three and four-clip variants available. In addition to Roterfaden, we also recently received a small shipment of the Lamy x Uni Safari mechanical pencils that include Uni’s proprietary Kuru-Toga rotating mechanism to help keep your lead sharp as you write.

Lamy x Uni Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencil

Yes, it’s just as good as I imagined.

Finally, we have new desk and reading accessories, including a new color of washi tape from Nick Dominguez, Hibi Japanese Incense Matches, and new colors of Toyo Steel Boxes!

Come see these and more in-store during normal hours this week, from 1-6pm Thursday and Friday, and from 10am-5pm on Saturday.

  1. Roterfaden TGS_25 Taschenbegleiter Restock (Green Leather). We’ve restocked on our A5 Slim exclusive edition for the summer, with the green leather version once again available with either a grey or light green elastic.

  2. Roterfaden A5 Taschenbegleiter. In addition to the A5 Slim, we also have several different A5 Taschenbegleiter covers in both three and four-clip setups (which hold three and four notebooks, respectively).

  3. Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter LTD_028. We have additional stock of the new B5 Taschenbegleiter, which is sized to accept both B5 notebooks and classic US composition books.

  4. Lamy x Uni Lamy Safari with Kuru-Toga Inside. Lamy has partnered with Uni to incorporate their Kuru-Toga mechanical pencil engine into the Lamy Safari and Vista mechanical pencils. Typically available only for the Japanese market, we have been able to secure a small shipment of these for our shop. Extremely limited.

  5. Lamy x Uni M17 Jetstream Refill for Lamy Ballpoints (including Safari). On the ballpoint side, Lamy and Uni have collaborated to add Jetstream ink to Lamy’s proprietary ballpoint refill. You can now add a .5mm or .7mm Jetstream cartridge to any Lamy ballpoint pen that ships with the M16 refill.

  6. Lamy AL-Star Disco and Roller Skate Special Edition Pens. The latest AL-Star release has arrived! These bright two-toned colors will appeal to any fans of the 1970’s and/or 1980’s aesthetic. (Personally, we think they lean 80s.)

  7. Lamy AL-Star Disco and Roller Skate Special Edition Mechanical Pencils. The same Disco and Rollerskate colorways are available as a .5mm mechanical pencil, so that you can create a matching set.

  8. Toyo Steel Boxes. These popular Japanese steel storage boxes are back in multiple new colors. Toyo boxes hold anything from small office supplies to ink samples to other collectibles. Boxes that have identical footprint dimensions will stack.

  9. New Nicolau Washi Tapes! Our friend Nick Dominguez has designed a second series of washi tape, in a purple colorway. We love this simple design and are excited to see it expand. For more of Nick’s work, check out our exclusive collaboration with Rickshaw, which features three different “cloud” designs hand-drawn with multishading fountain pen inks.

  10. Hibi Japanese Incense Matches. A fun new addition to our desk and reading accessories, these Japanese incense matches offer an easy way to add calming scents to your everyday work or journaling practice. (They’re also a great way to freshen up a warehouse. Just saying.)

New Arrivals: Huge Roterfaden Restock with TGS_25 Taschenbegleiters, Full A5 Sizes, and More

June 16, 2026

Our Summer Roterfaden restock arrived sooner than we anticipated, meaning that we now have additional stock of the A5 Slim TGS_25 Taschenbegleiter in the Dark Green leather with grey interior and grey or light green elastics. These are available to ship immediately. We also have a fairly large selection of standard A5 Roterfaden Taschenbegleiters in various leather and felt/suede combinations, as well as additional stock of the B5 Taschenbegleiter LTD 028.

Roterfaden Walkthrough YouTube Video

I’ve had some requests for additional information and explanation about how the Roterfaden notebook system works. I’ve generally been referring people to this YouTube video, in which I walk through my own setup.

Please note that pickup by appointment prior to Thursday is not available in the Nashville shop this week. If you would like to reserve a specific Taschenbegleiter to pick up in-person, you can select “Local Pickup” at checkout. You will receive an e-mail letting you know when your order may be picked up during normal business hours, which will be Thursday and Friday from 1-6pm and Saturday from 10-5pm.

New Arrivals: Kaweco Is Back, Along with More Roterfaden TGS_25 Covers!

March 3, 2026

Last week we received a large shipment from Kaweco, including Classic Sport, Collection Sport, Metal Sport, and Liliput Fountain Pens. Many of you have requested additional stock of the stainless steel, brass, and copper pens, and we listened! Personally, I’m most excited about the Liliput Kolibri (German for “Hummingbird”), which applies a rainbow anodized finish to both the stainless steel body and the nib. We are also restocked on Kaweco bottled inks, as well as the “Sketch-up” Clutch Pencils in all finishes.

TGS_25 Roterfaden Taschenbegleiters Return!

We have restocked the green leather version of our A5 Slim exclusive model in dark green, with both green and grey elastic options. While we will plan to bring available stock to the Arkansas Pen Show and San Francisco Stationery Fest later this month, we cannot guarantee availability, so if you are interested in this please do not wait. We will have stock available in the Nashville shop during normal hours later this week. Many thanks for all your interest and support for this project - we never could have anticipated the level of demand it’s received so far!

Come see us in our Nashville Shop! Our store is open normal hours (1-6pm Thursday and Friday, and 10am-6pm Saturday), so please swing by and see these and more!

New Arrivals: TWSBI Obsidian Fountain Pens, Plus a Roterfaden Restock!

December 23, 2025

TWSBI’s latest limited edition piston filler has arrived, featuring a pearlescent black acrylic paired with rose gold trim. Like the TWSBI Kai (of which we still have exactly one available), the new TWSBI Obsidian will be available for a limited run. TWSBI releases this particular style approximately once a year, and sometimes less frequently. These pens are available for purchase now and will ship starting today.

Most Roterfaden Sizes Are Restocked - Please Visit the New Dedicated Roterfaden Shop Page

Unless you’re shopping in person with us today, these won’t arrive in time for Christmas, but we did receive a large restock of Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter covers, including less-common sizes such as B5 and A4, as well as Four-Clip covers. Going forward, Roterfaden products will be listed on their own dedicated section of the shop, since the stock changes frequently and it is easier to maintain this way. Please understand that we are not holding back stock and because the holiday season is busy, we have been unable to respond to inquiries about whether specific sizes and colors are available. If it is not listed on the Roterfaden page or showing as unavailable, we do not currently have it in stock.

We have holiday hours in the Nashville shop today from 1-6pm, and will be closed to in-person shopping tomorrow (12/23) and Thursday (12/24). We will reopen Friday and Saturday during normal store hours.

On the Way to San Francisco: Guess What Showed Up on the Way Out?

August 27, 2025

They’re back, and a day earlier than expected! We have a fresh restock of the TGS_25 Roterfaden, in the A5 Slim size, ready to head out the door. Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered one of these covers via Patreon - we have plenty remaining from this shipment and have made them available for purchase via the standard store page. Additional Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter sizes are also available.

While I am working to get as many of these shipped and out the door to you today before we leave for the San Francisco Pen Show this afternoon, online orders for the TGS_25 may ship next week. We will have a handful of these available at the show (we will be combined with Vanness Pens at their table in the Oak Room), but given the crowd expected at the San Francisco Pen Show the best way to reserve one is to order online. Stock will NOT be held by request. Many thanks for all your support, and if you will be at the San Francisco show, come say hello!

Note that our brick and mortar store is closed this weekend (Thursday 8/27-Saturday 8/29) while we travel. We will reopen the week of September 1. Please check the main store page or our Google listing for current hours.
