Maybe The Best Desk Pen Holder Yet

Recommended Posts

Hey there, this is my first post in this section!

 

So anyways, I think I have found the best option for me to display my collection on my desk, keeping them safe and close at hand.

 

Surprisingly, I found this at my local Staples office supply store. The brand is Poppin, one that I am not very familiar with, but the results are fantastic.

 

This is basically a very heavy "field of grass" made of some sort of vinyl-like plastic that perfectly supports your pens in an upright position.

 

Even better, it was only $12 and comes in a wide variety of colors.

 

It has officially become a staple of my desk and it comes highly recommended. Be warned however, it will not accommodate oddly shaped or oversized pens between the "leaves." I am not able to fit my Lamy Safari, nor my very thin pens in it, hence the ceramic mug with an assortment of cheaper pens!

Have seen these before in various forms. One I liked was made of softer material that flexed. Thought it might take larger safari type pens but never bought one at the time. Might have been in Officeworks here a few years ago. Will look closer when I see something like this again.

Even better! They seem to be everywhere!

I just wish the blades or whatever were spaces out just a tad bit more

      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
