My first Omega

I love pencils and I love wristwatches, so when I finally found an Omega I could afford I grabed 3.

The store had pencils in more lead grades, but I think these three pencils will be plenty for my interest.

Do you own an Omega?

My dear deer Opinel

This is my dear deer Opinel pocket knife.

I don't think I'll use this one. I bought a new Opinel without decoration because this one makes me so happy just looking at it.

Filgo the black Jasper - ballpoint pen

I obviously had to get it when I came across this "Filgo the black Jasper" ballpoint pen in full metal body and a lovely blue shine.

The click-sound is much in line with the Parker Jotter, but feels like I have to push a bit futher.

But the ink is horrible! Luckely it use ISO 12757-2, so I can put in a good cartridge when I give up on the ink.

When the ink glide, it is good, but often it don't. But it also smears a lot. Like a lot a lot.

Get the pen, use another cartridge. Like: Mitsubishi Jetstream, Schneider Slider 735 or Faber-Castell.

Pentel Sharp: Black and blue

I hit three bookstores almost side by side to find something exciting and when the first two had nothing at all, my spirits were low.

I looked around the third one and had almost given up on life when I saw something that looked like mechanical pencils in a glass.

With little hope, I went over and looked in the glass, where to my great joy I found these three.

Unfortunately, it is overcast and rainy, so it is not visible in the photo, but it sometimes looks like there is glitter in the black ones.

Still stuff to do after updated travel map

My updated travel map shows that there are still many new countries to visit.

But I am mentally tired.

2 new Victorinox SAW from passing through Switzerland

I was traveling through Switzerland, so I just picked up two new Victorinox.

I also looked at their watches, but that is not for me.. at least yet.

Three aisles with office supplies and stationery photographed in a supermarket in Colombia.

It was a challenge to take the many pictures during regular opening hours with many customers and employees without disturbing them.

I hope most of the pictures turned out good enough to be enjoyed.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

I guess I've gone all-in with pens that use the ISO 12757-2 cartridge aka Parker G2 refill.

I just picked up these German ISO 12757-2 cartridge pens

The pens are nice and it just so soothing-relaxing to know, what cartridge it takes.

Who is with me in buying pens based on which refill the pen uses?

It was less than one hour before closing time and I saw a cup of Parker Jotters in different colours and a cup some others all same colour. I grabbed two thinking it was Ohto Rays. - Only when I got drawing I saw it had another name: Senator.

Look alikes.

Four different pens from four different brands!

  • Parker Jotter
  • Senator Point Metal
  • Ohto Rays
  • Zebra 901

This a getting kind of fun. I now wanna find other pens looking "the same".

The colours are so awsome I had to get a red and a blue Leuchtturm1917 mechanical pencil.

Propelling the lead forward is easy enough, but I am not good at getting the exposed lead back in after use.

They are to new for me to make any other judgement that I prefer at least my Pentel P207 and Steadtler Mars micro over this.

That are your thoughts on these Leuchtturm1917 mechanical pencils?

These are some stationery aisles in a Rossman pharmacy store in Germany.

I love these Schneider pens - and the Schneider slider rave cartridge. So I had to get the limited editon :-)

This one is a kind of request, or at least respond to another stationery aisle post.
