When it comes to people’s choice of writing utensil I guess it is all down to personal preference. I have …
It appears that the Staedler 309 Handwriting pen has been popular with schools for several years. It’s also said that this plastic nibbed pen creates a slight resistance to the paper. The effect being that it reduces the speed at which you write, hence the reason it is often the pen of choice in schools.
The Staedtler 309 has a moulded grip area, a pocket clip indicates the ink colour, they are available in blue or black.
I get to see a variety of different writing instruments.The Pilot Spotliter VW is a highlighter with a difference, I look at it as a two for the price of one option because it contains pink & yellow liquid ink in one pen.
Thinking about highlighters, I came across an amusing article the other day on the onion website, it stated that officers in the CIA have been using black indelible pens to highlight documents since the agency’s inception in 1947. This left much of the critical intelligence gathered illegible, whether this is true or false is anybody’s guess but I can’t see how it can be called highlighting.
I am looking at the Caran d’Ache 849 Fluo to review today. In a vibrant lime shade, this retractable ballpoint is undoubtedly eye-catching.
Caran d’Ache is the only company in Switzerland to manufacture pens, pencils & luxury writing instruments. Products are created by hand in workshops in Geneva, and the fusion of master craftsman & computer-assisted tools has helped the company gain recognition for superior quality & innovation.
My first impression of the USUS i is that it is unique. What makes this pen different is the SupraSpin® magnetic system that covers the ballpoint. This hi-tec innovation which holds the pen together takes away the need for any loose parts or springs.
