Tom Bihn Field Journal Notebook


Okami

Recommended Posts

I want something like this, but I hate binders and I want something that is full size. A portfolio that held a single sheet for writing/drawing, with places to put blank sheets, completed sheets, and envelopes.

 

Seems like everything is intended to be elegant in a business setting so it's leather and heavy. I need something that travels well, and can handle being rained on.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

How about Tom Bihn's "Co-Pilot"? It looks like it'll travel well. Is it big enough?

OMG I did not need to see this. I've often drooled over the Tom Bihn knitting totes that all the knitters love. But I LOVE this with the ability to carry PENS with it (something that just doesn't seem as friendly in that Rat Pack organizer, although that looks awesome for other use, though I wish there were more photos and dimensions on their site.)

Hi, chupie --- I love Tom Bihn's stuff!! But I also have the PackRat. Here is a pic of it.

 

It's just the right size for running-around-town sketching IMO. (As opposed to trekking-into-the-wilderness sketching, where you'd also need room to carry the bear repellant and the tent.) The outside dimensions of the PackRat are approximately 7-1/2" x 10" x 2". It's very pen-friendly.

 

Can I answer any other questions about it? Happy to.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
