Tomoe River Notebooks With Perforation?

[Komitadjie]

So, question for you people in the know:

 

I've been looking for a pocket-sized notebook / journal / pad / whatever that I can stick in my back pocket, that uses Tomoe River paper. I've found a few of those. But, the real killer: I want it to be perforated so that I can easily remove sheets. My most frequent use of the pocket notebook I carry is to make up lists or sketch a design of something that I need to be able to remove and hand to someone else. As much as I like stitch-bound notebooks, a binding like that (obviously) makes removing individual sheets cleanly rather challenging.

 

I really like the TR paper (like everyone else!) but so far I haven't had any luck with this search. Anyone stumbled across such a critter in their paper-hunting?

Haven't seen such a notebook but I used to have a perforation wheel cutter that you would run down the page and it would score and make small holes that allowed nice tearing. I think my wife got it in the scrapbooking section at one of the local craft stores.

I have something similar, Art, that goes on my rotary cutter. It's made for doing tear-off sheets on printouts and the like. Works quite well, but I'd really rather not have to go to all the trouble. If I was going to do that, I think I'd just make my own staple-bound notebooks most likely. Perforate the paper first on two lines, then staple it together between the perforation lines.

 

I'd really like to find something commercial, that I could just acquire a supply of. Call me lazy.

I can certainly understand that. I have a few Moleskine Cahier notebooks. I like the paper and the size and they have a number of perforated sheets - 16 as I recall. Ever tried them?

Komitadjie: Could you , please , share your source for Tomoe River Pocket Notebooks. I've found a few Field Notes or Passport Midori Hand Made Ones by a fellow on the East coast. His name escapes me currently, but he's here and sell s on etsy too. I'd like to see what you're using. I have this pocket notebook addiction thing, Jim

Thanks, I've bought some of his regular notebooks in the past but I'll check out these offerings too. Something to go in a Davis Leather, Inkleaf, Fenner Crafts Leather cover, ala faux Midori style.

Found this old thread during a search. Does anybody in the US make something similar to this:
