Pens, Notebooks, and Bags

i don't understand the kickstarter thing...are you giving them a donation or putting down a deposit for the pen?

Most of the Kickstarter campaigns are "all or nothing", which means you have little risk involved unless they just don't make their product. The company wants to make something, in this case a pen, but need financial backing for equipment, materials, etc. So, they raise money by pre-selling the item to backers who are willing to wait while they raise the money and then go off and make the product and then distribute it. I have backed about 13 or 14 projects - watches, pens, knives, etc. and have always been more than pleased. You usually get a pretty good discount by being willing to wait to receive the product until it is produced.

amazing how many different styles of space pen

They really do have quite an extensive product selection. The "centerpiece" of my Fisher collection is a limited edition desk pen made for the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

It is a "black nib".

It is a "black nib".

For non-fountain pen users, the "nib" is the writing tip of the pen.

Just backed a cool little pen on Kickstarter - The KOSMOS ink - Magnetic Fountain Pen. It's a nice streamlined pen with no threads for the cap, it is held on by magnets.

I’d buy one! I love the design. What did they expect the retail price to be?

I try never to pay full retail for anything!
