This year marked the 20th anniversary Andre the Giant’s passing. And what do you do to commemorate a giant of a man? Why, you make a giant of a rollerball pen, of course.
Think Pens has produced an Andre the Giant rollerball pen that is a whopping 8.5 inches long and nearly twice as big around as an ordinary pen. On the oversized clip, “Andre the Giant.”
We wanted to give a tip o’ the hat to teacher Hilary de Boerr and Class 4a at the Michael Hall school for their recent pen and ink project.
The students used bamboo and goose quills to make ink pens and mashed berries to make ink, which they put into ink pots made of clay. They fashioned their own paper utilizing an old Chinese technique, and then used their pens and ink to write new name tags for their desks.
…and not just any pen, but a fountain pen.
Got a GQ guy on your Secret Santa list this year? Well, according to the bible of style, one of the five essential things that no man should be without is a quality fountain pen.

A piece on the Japan Times site about pen-and-ink artist Hiroyuki Doi had an interesting little tidbit that caught our attention the other day. It was a mention of a Pilot Pen museum in Tokyo where he was having a showing.
Have you ever heard of this place? It’s called the Pen Station Museum & Cafe near the Kyobashi metro stop. It’s located on the bottom two floors of Pilot Pen’s corporate offices, according to Tokyo pen collector Russ Stutler.
