TWSBI unloaded the catalog in the latter half of 2025, and did a nice job with the colors I must say. The TWSBI ECO Plum with Onyx Trim may have been the most well received, and I have one to give away to a reader this week. And the winner is:
Congrats John! I’ve sent an email to collect your shipping address.
My thanks to Endless Stationery and Arclayer for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
Their new project, MAZE Pens, isn’t just another fountain pen launch. It’s an explorative experiment in what happens when you turn the inside of a pen into the star of the show. Instead of hiding ink channels deep in the barrel, Endless and Arclayer have sculpted them into artful pathways, printed in high-clarity SLA resin and post-processed to gleam like a jewel. The result is a pen that looks alive — ink twisting and drifting through a transparent, three-dimensional maze as you write.
Each MAZE pattern (Five of them!) feels like its own personality carved into light. You can run it as a classic eyedropper or go full engineering-nerd with the Japanese eyedropper shut-off system for leak-proof travel. And yes: shimmering inks look beautiful in these barrels — in the best way possible.
If you’ve ever wished your pen had a little more soul, a little more strangeness, a little more why the hell not — this is the one to get. Head over to their Kickstarter page and grab yourself one!
MD Drawing Pen, coming soon from the newly rebranded MD Products.
It’s an exciting week for me, as news of the next LAMY X uniball collaboration hit the internet. I’m am extremely stoked to see this, and March can’t get here soon enough. We also got feedback on our artificial gold conversation, and let’s just say we are glad our listeners are smarter than we are.
