# Stationary ### Writing Utilities #### Tactile Turn Built for writing today, tomorrow and for the foreseeable future. These terrifically designed & crafted writing implements offer a incredibly solid writing experience. Wands are the magicians instrument for creativity, these pens are the writers equivalent. Here are a few of the limited release, titanium writing tools I've collected. ##### [Nexus](https://tactileturn.com/products/nexus) The Nexus was my first experience with Tactile Turn. While the build & quality of the pen are wonderful, the 0.48" diameter is rather large. While my hands are large, my fingers themselves weren't prepared for the heft this presented when writing. I still appreciate it but it isn't one I turn to for daily writing. When I'm feeling like my writing needs a workout, I turn to this pen. ##### [8-Bit](https://tactileturn.com/products/8-bit) The 8-Bit was my second purchase & I obtained the "slim" side click this time. The slimmer model is far more comfortable to write with. The colour scheme is an ode to days past gaming on the NES. The cool of the grey & black wonderfully allow the red side button and orange clip to really stand out. The "RESET" engraving next to the red side click button adds to the overall charm. This was one pen I had to get and am glad I did. It currently sits wonderfully in my [Bellroy Field Notes notebook cover](https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/everyday-inspiration-leather-notebook-cover). ##### [Carryology Essentials](https://tactileturn.com/products/tactile-turn-x-carryology-essentials-slim-bolt-action-pen) This is my ECD pen for now. It's solid, has a nice knurling grip & a slim diameter body. I really enjoy writing with this one in particular & haven't encountered fatigue in my hand like I do with larger sized pens such as the Nexus. #### Pentel ##### Pentel Arts Tradio Stylo I've been wanting to sketch more & stumbled across this pen at my local Kinyokunya. It offers a smooth experience thus far & I look forward to continuing to use it. ### Fountain Pen Ink ### Journaling #### Moleskin #### Field Notes #### 1917 #### Book NOTA - [Kickstarter Project](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antou/book-nota-vegan-creativity-multiverse-30) I've been heavily testing out and trying different notebooks & journals. This one sticks out due to being reusable, supporting various paper types and ability to contain multiple subjects. It has already been successfully backed and I'm looking forward to the eventual release of the product, (next year).
