Editing The Pen Addict 196/transcript (section)

== Kickstarter Pen ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' And I was purposefully not talking about it, but there's a pen on Kickstarter right now, which we're not even going to link to the Kickstarter page. You can go find it yourself off this product hunt page, but this product hunt page came out this morning. So I kind of want to talk about it just a little bit, but you know, everyone knows the Ajoto pen that they did a wonderful Kickstarter, had a big blowout Kickstarter. There's a new pen called the Sends pen. And they emailed me about a month ago, sent me like their, their press kit. And I replied, I said, this is an exact copy of the Ajoto pen. That was my little response to like a 500 word email with all this marketing, whatever. So I sent this back and, and they gave me the link to like the pre-launch Kickstarter and all that stuff. So I hit send like a day later. Um, they sent me an email back. It says, no, it's not. And that was it. That was the end of our conversation. So I was like, okay, well, this is going to crop up at some point on the, uh, on the Kickstarter. And, uh, so it did like two weeks ago, maybe it launched on Kickstarter. I didn't mention it because it's, it's like literally the Ajoto pen. And they're saying it's made off this Russian pen from, uh, you know, this guy's father or whatever. That's fine. But they don't, they don't hide the fact that their product shots like are practically laid out the same as Ajoto. Their little pen case is the same as Ajoto.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's the same. They're offering a leather sleeve. Yeah. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' If you, if you had your, if you took all the words off the page, you go, oh, that's a, oh, that there's a Ajoto doing another Kickstarter. And, um, so I'm just putting the word out. It is what it is. I'm not going to bang on them too hard, except I was on Twitter this morning.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't think it looks as good as the Ajoto.
