Classic Stalogy Ballpoint Pen Black

Stalogy – Japanese design at its best. They aim to raise the standard of stationery by removing whatever is unnecessary, leaving behind products so good, they should have already existed. “What should have been, is.”

How can you improve on the humble ballpoint pen, though? Well, perhaps it’s not a case of improvement but of ‘stripping down’: offering a ballpoint pen that does what you want it to, and nothing more. So its barrel is plastic, rather than metal, which keeps it lightweight, and the grip is non-slip, so your fingers don’t slide down towards the tip. A simple push of the button will extend the tip, which is a popular 0.7mm; it’s refillable, and the oil-based ink is low viscosity, so it writes nice and smoothly. There’s a pocket clip, too, so you can keep it with you at all times.
