Anderson Pens' Badger Black
Badger Black is the last of the Anderson Pens' inks, and it's a perfectly competent black ink. It was formerly known as Scribal Workshops Kraken, and I think I liked it okay under that name. I don't...

Toucan Black
Toucan's Black is the most saturated of the inks in this line, and that's probably a good thing. These are, firstly, mixing inks and I imagine that a set like this needs a good solid black to add into...

Omas Blue
I've had this ink in my rack for a long while, but I've been avoiding it. After I was disappointed by the first Omas ink that I used (and I could have sworn that I reviewed it, but I haven't), I was...

Retro 51 Hex-o-Matic Ballpoint
I don't review a whole lot of ballpoints, but this one is pretty great. In fact, it's so great that I don't have a video for it because I gave it to a good friend for his birthday. This is a guy that...
