        One of my current favourite pen makes, Kaweco:

        These are all variations on the Kaweco Sport, a small pen that becomes more standard sized when posting the cap. they're cheap, write exceptionally well and are perfect for everyday carry! All but one of these are fountain pens, and the other is a rollerball that takes standard fountain pen cartridges.

            Fancy something a bit more tactical? How about this!

            This one has an optional rollerball refill and alternate fitting included. It's big and silly, but it writes very well for a relatively inexpensive pen.

              I hate losing pens, or getting the better ones damaged, so I've started using these cases from United Bees Japan:

                    Here's another one then!

                    It's the TWSBI Diamond 530 from Taiwan.

                    Next up will be some Japanese paper products…

                      The Pilot Capless/Vanishing Point is seriously cool. The fine is a proper Japanese fine (more like a European EF), and the medium is more like a European Medium. They've just released an all matte black version which I'm trying to stop myself from buying.

                        Midori Traveler's Notebooks anyone? These are lousy pictures, my skills with the camera aren't great:

                        This is the passport sized version, which has been my everyday companion for the past few years. I love the simplicity of the design, as well as the interchangeable notebooks and various options you can buy for it. I recently got the full sized version as well, which is slowly replacing my Moleskine habit.

                            And the large Midori Notebook!

                            I added some currency in the back pocket to give an idea of size.
