LAMY Safari Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencil Giveaway

LAMY Safari Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencil Giveaway

The LAMY Safari Mechanical Pencil, featuring the uniball Kuru Toga mechanism inside, is a product of Mitsubishi’s acquisition of LAMY a couple of years ago. This was a much needed update, especially given LAMY’s insistence on sticking with the Safari molded grip design on a product that didn’t need it.

We Back!

PLOTER Tokyo

My trip to Japan was awesome, and I can’t wait to share more about it this week on Twitch and on the Podcast. Miles were walked, fun was shared, and stationery was acquired. There is a lot to discuss, and there is work to get back to. It’s time to ramp things back up through the end of the year, so come join me!

It’s About That Time!

It’s almost vacation time for me, and what a vacation it is going to be. I’m heading to Japan soon, so for the first time in as long as I can remember, The Pen Addict blog will be quiet for a couple of weeks.

If you want to follow along with what I am up to you can follow me on Instagram. I’m going to try and post there regularly, but we will see how it goes. It’s a big adventure, and I am ready for it.

Things will return to normal on these pages on November 9th. Talk soon!
