Links of particular note this week are, of course, Frank Underwater’s monthly “Chinese Pens You Need to Know”, Macchiato Man’s very thorough review of his Nakaya Decapod Writer Aka-Tanemuri and Mike Matteson’s “Slew of Paper Reviews”. Gentleman Stationer does a mid-year recap of his Favorite Inks and Kelli at Mountain of Ink delves into vintage inks with her review of Sheaffer Skrip Emerald Green. Good things, one and all.
