Editing The Pen Addict 161/transcript (section)

== Scriptorium Pens ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I also have a Balladeer from Scriptorium pens on order. And for that pen, I chose to go with the Conway Stewart Dartmoor acrylic, which is a really dark brownish, greenish black, marbled acrylic that's been discontinued. It almost actually looks like a celluloid, but it's not.

'''Joe Crace:''' Nice. Nice. Now on these, on these two new pens, my Shinobi is clipless. How do you, what's your preferred method of clip, no clip? What's your, what's your design preferences on your custom pens?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, because I use my pens for work a lot and I typically have to wear shirts with a pocket in the front or at least a dress shirt with a tie. I tend to go with a clip pen and with a clip because I carry it around. It's just more convenient for me to clip to my shirt. Yeah. But the Shinobi, of course, is going to be clipless. And I do have clipless pens. I just tend to carry, they have to be pens that I can carry in my pocket.

'''Joe Crace:''' That's good. We all, we all have reasons we carry the things that we do. Right, Myke? Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Most definitely. Dali, are you going to be eyedropper-ing this Shinobi?

'''Joe Crace:''' Yeah, without a doubt.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I mean, you got to, right?

'''Joe Crace:''' Yeah. This is a no doubt one. Like I have a, I have the two Franklin Kristoff Model 20s, the long skinny one, the slip cap ones, and I have a solid black one, which is not see-through, not transparent at all. And then I have the orange one. So the black one, I just throw a converter in there just because I can. And it, honestly, it's easier. But the orange one, it looks ridiculous with the converter in it, to be quite honest. And the Shinobi picks that Sean took with the converter in it actually don't do it justice at all. Right? You take that converter out, it's a way better looking pen. So you see the ink sloshing around in there without a doubt.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm just looking through Sean's Instagram feed and this is painful. There is some incredible stuff in here.

'''Joe Crace:''' Yeah, things you shouldn't do with your wallet in reach, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, yeah. I mean, this, wow, he makes some incredible pens.

'''Joe Crace:''' Now, did you have your wallet in reach when we had liftoff last week? You know, I haven't bought one of these yet. What?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I know. It's kind of crazy, right? What's wrong with you? I don't know.
