Really? I'm Not Sure If I Find This Amazing Or Ridiculous.

It's the same idea, apparently, as those non-powered carpet sweepers that you can use when you just want to get a few crumbs. I could see myself adding it to a JetPens order on a whim, using it a few times, then realizing a couple of months later that I had no idea where it was.

 

With Christmas coming up, might not be a bad stocking stuffer for someone who likes little gadgets, though.

I do o'ekaki puzzles ( http://www.amazon.com/Oekaki-Paint-Sudoku-Kenji-Onishi/dp/1932234314/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417148839&sr=8-1&keywords=oekaki ), and they frequently involve a lot of erasing. There are times when I end up with quite a bit of eraser dust around. If I were trying to be tidy (nope, usually not), this thingie would be pretty cool.

I hate all the stuff laying on my desk already. That could be fun to play for a while but in the end it's the last thing i want to see. Could be a funny gimmick to give away as a gift for some student.

There are other ways than the easiest one too.

Cute. Reminds me of this guy:

YEP... I could see my kids thinking it was too cute and should go into a diorama.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Fantastic idea. My nine year old daughter loved it when she saw the video and anything that'll make it fun for her to clean up the table after her homework and drawing has to be a good thing.

A friend saw it and decided to order one. They were out of the blue so she ordered pink—that was sold out too. Evidently they flew off the warehouse shelf.

I think I remember something like that from the 1960s. Not sure but it sort of joggles my memory

      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
