I offer my initial thoughts on the much-hyped Drillog dip pen, which received a lot of attention when the Kickstarter launched in 2021. Does this "aircraft grade" machined dip pen live up to its lofty promises? Not really.
Exploring a wide range of modern and vintage writing implements, and how to incorporate them into modern life, with a focus on fountain pens, fountain pen inks, woodcase pencils, and other quality stationery products (especially paper).
