The Pen Addict Podcast: Episode 713 - Pocket Bias

Is the Kokuyo Zig Cocoiro a pocket fountain pen? Discuss.

We answer the important questions this week, such as when we discuss pocket pens, whose pockets are we referring to? Also, is the Pilot Varsity any good, and is the Pilot Murex the greatest pen of all time? I’m not sure we had all the answers, but we had fun trying!

What is your favorite pocket fountain pen that doesn’t use a threaded cap? The Traveler’s Brass Fountain Pen is a contender. (via JetPens)

Ink-stained hands are currently en vogue, at least at my desk. I’m rotating out some of my fountain pen inks right now, but am I making any headway thinning the herd? Apparently not. Myke and I also check out the 2026 Kokuyo Design Awards, which isn’t what we hoped it was, and say “Happy Birthday!” to a classic rollerball pen.
