== Inkless Pen ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well done. Well done. Another new item that I got all kinds of tweets and emails on, and maybe I should let you pronounce this, or we need to get Federico Vittici on to pronounce this, but I'm going to go for it. Okay. It's the Peninferina Cambiano inkless pen. How did I do?

'''Myke Hurley:''' That will do, I think.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. You didn't sound impressed.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's pretty much there, I think. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I think that was pretty much it. That was rough. That's a, for a tough name, it's an awfully beautiful pen. But what it is, it's an inkless pen. Like I've reviewed in the past, I've reviewed one from Jack Zagori called the Beta Inkless Pen. And it's basically, it's just a metal tip pen that leaves a line like a pencil. So it doesn't require sharpening or anything like that. But it leaves kind of like a pencil line. It's made to never dull. It's not a sharp line. It's like a rounded tip. But there's no, gosh, what do you call it? There's no breakdown of the tip at all. It shouldn't last you forever.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It doesn't wear in any way.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it doesn't wear at all. And a bunch of people sent me this. And this is the first, the ones I've seen in the past. And the one I review are very, what would you call, very industrial, like not real, not awesome design. Just real basic design. This one is fancy. I mean, it's got like a wooden, I don't know, it's like an aluminum casing with a round of like wood in the middle. And just the like little small conical tip for the inkless part. I wish they wouldn't, it's really more of a graphite-less pencil than an inkless pen. Yeah. But that doesn't sound as good, I guess, as the inkless pen does, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, a bunch of people sent me this as well. And I remember I responded to one person about it and said, you know, they were like, oh, this must be right up your street. Because Pin Inferina, they also, they're most well known, I think, these days for their contributions to Ferrari. Okay, I didn't know that. They helped design some Ferraris.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But they, so people said, oh, you're going to love this. I was like, well, it actually doesn't have a lot of, it will not have a lot of the qualities that I love in a pen. Most of the things that I love in a pen, you will not get from this. Like the way the pen feels to write, ink stuff, you know, all of that, all that greatness. You, you won't get any of that. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, yeah. So, having, haven't used something, a similar product before, it's, it's really performs like a pencil and feels like a pencil. and the line is it's not very dark we'll put a link in the show notes to my old review and you can kind of see what an inkless pen looks like on the paper it's a wide line, it's not very deep it's not something that I ever latched on to and actually looking back at my review now there was I got two of them I got like a full sized pen and then I got like a little mini inkless pen, that one's actually more convenient because that's something you can throw in a car or throw in a backpack and it kind of goes along with the topic we're going to talk about today which is everyday carry pens it's the kind of pen that you never have to worry about as long as you keep track of it if you're getting any type of situation you're always going to have something to write with you don't have to worry about your ink refill freezing or running out of lead in a pencil but it's not the most awesome writing experience, it's more of a utilitarian type thing and kind of an as needed but yeah, this pen in Farina is very beautiful the only thing they don't have is a price and I opened up their press release and they don't list a price in that either

'''Myke Hurley:''' because you probably can't buy it and if you can buy it you can't afford it

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah, I can't imagine this is going to be

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think it's one of those scenarios that the fact that you're looking for a price tells you that you actually can't buy this pen

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah, maybe it just comes with the purchase of a Ferrari if with their

'''Myke Hurley:''' do you know what it probably does? or just any because they design cars for a bunch of people but they're probably most well known for their Ferrari work

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah, that's pretty cool

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't like it personally it just looks like writing with a really, really expensive pencil which I don't get

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah well, I like the design but I just oh yeah, it looks fantastic yeah, I would just never have a use for it I don't have a use for the old ones that I have really because when you have every other writing option under the sun this isn't going to beat any of them right

'''Myke Hurley:''' exactly

'''Brad Dowdy:''' so so I've gone off the deep end I think I alluded to I don't know last week or a couple weeks before about my ink problem that I'm that I'm in the midst of my ink gosh, I don't know what it is I'm

'''Myke Hurley:''' awakening awakening awakening

'''Brad Dowdy:''' awakening
