Pens Love Ink

Three Amigos

Three Amigos? Well in the movie, the Three Amigos are the good guys. Today’s three pens belong to the Retro 51 Bandit series. A Bandit is not typically a good guy. Did Robin Hood pop into your head? But bandits can still be friends, so I say these three Bandits can be Three Amigos. Retro 51 started an impressive 27 years ago. Still we can not consider any of their pens vintage.

For the week including the 4th of July, I went with quotes from the founding fathers of the United States of America. I wasn’t trying to be political, but some of the ideas expressed in these quotes seem in contrast to our modern political climate. I am glad you are here, where I add extra comments. The images are posted on the PensLove Ink Instagram account as the week progresses.

EDC: Nock Co Penvelope

The year was 2016. I had just driven over 6 hours to the Atlanta Pen Show. I went to the Nock Co table and suddenly the FOMO was strong. Yes, the Fear Of Missing Out. There was this little blue and red creation. Already, it was almost sold out. I wasn’t sure how useful it would be. I bought one of the last ones. I know FOMO was the main motivation.

Good Writers

I am not talking about people who are good writers, but pens that write well. My pens I consider good writers remain filled with ink. I keep them ready for a card, letter or note. Each one of these pens deserves a quick mention.

Ah, notebooks. They so often come in a three pack and all three look just alike. What to do, what to do?

A week of quotes for Father’s Day. I make no claim to how applicable they are to my father or me as a father. I just found them to be good quotes. >

Pocket Pens

I almost always carry a pocket pen. Slipped in my front right pocket, a pocket pen settles in deep and safe. I can quickly access it on demand. Currently, three pens, including two fountain pens, fill this role.
