I review the Pilot Penmanship fountain pen. It only comes with a steel extra fine nib. It is an inexpensive and lightweight plastic fountain pen designed to help writers improve their handwriting.

Let's review the Kaweco Piston Sport AL. It is a piston filling fountain pen with a metal body. It is a great pocket pen. We'll also compare this Kaweco fine steel nib to Pilot's fine and medium nibs.

A review of the Uni Shift Pipe Lock Drafting Pencil for 0.5mm lead. This is the nicest mechanical pencil or wooden pencil I have ever used! I wish I had one when I was doing math homework in school.

A review of the Platinum Prefounte Fine nib fountain pen. It is similar to a Platinum Preppy except it has a little nicer body. It is less expensive than the Platinum Plaisir. It is Platinum's middle of the road entry-level fountain pen.

Today let's talk about the Pentel Sharp (or Pentel P207) drafting pencil. It's a good low-cost drafting pencil and a step up from regular mechanical pencils.

Pilot Sepia is a dark red brown ink. It is a nice alternative to Diamine Oxblood if you want to use a Pilot ink cartridge. The pen in this video is the Pilot Custom 743 Deep Red with a medium nib.

Let's discuss the Uni Jetstream Stylus Ballpoint Pen. I contains a 0.7mm Jetstream ballpoint refill and a replaceable stylus tip. It is a good pen and stylus for the price. It is a good option for everyday carry (EDC).

Let's discuss the Pilot Kakuno with a fine nib. I think this is the best beginner fountain pen and a wonderful pen for anyone regardless of experience. It is very comfortable and writes just as well as many more expensive pens.
