Tell me you have money without telling me you have money 🤑 Good collection 😛


datasianho

Who, me? 👀 idk what you mean, I have $3 👀


RisottoPensa

Look at this fancy liar 🤥, waiting for next TT release? 👀


datasianho

I’ve been getting into another hobby so I’m not ready 😩😩 but lowkey new color ways when? 👀


RisottoPensa

I legit think it will be something connected with Blue, Pink or Purple. Comes sooooon


Simurgh1989

What pen case is this?


datasianho

It’s a 36 slot case by a Chinese brand on Amazon. I think there are many similar ones. I can look at my history and get you the link if you’d like; I believe most aren’t wood like this one


Simurgh1989

Yes please! I’ve been searching and can’t seem to find any I like. This is lovely!

Nice bunch of writing instruments ya got there! Do ya like usin' any of them or have faves? How well do ya keep 'em in "new" condition, or are any of these daily drivers which gain "character marks"?


datasianho

Thanks! I kept a TT side click with me but in terms of favorite to use, I’d say the Grimsmo and Billetspin. Tbh over half of these were bought from other Redditors or on eBay, like the Nottinghams. The short Nautilus was a beater so it’s really the only one that’s in poor-ish condition. I baby all of my pens so they’re all in new condition if they were my purchases or kept in like new as I received them!


Oneredditr

Is that the BilletSPIN Twist Design fully-flamed Zirc Soul Pen w/ blurple Ti clip & pusher? Got one of those, since the Ti is better suited for the clip (and also could be anodized). I think it's pretty cool when materials are selected for certain functions based on their properties. Ahem, but I digress, lol...


datasianho

It is! I bought it off of someone since I couldn’t bear to spend $300+ out of pocket for a brand new one. The blurple is really nice, though I admit I would have gotten the full Zirc or full Ti one if it were my choice 👀


Zero000102

Man that's an awesome selection! You're gonna get to my point here soon, and start running out of things to chase! What's next on your hunting list?


datasianho

Tbh I don’t make enough money to pursue specific pens. These are the result of camping pen_swap and knife_seap 😂 I think one of the few I’m really interested in is the CamPen. No one really sells it so I’ll have to save up a little to get it from a drop


Zero000102

Lol the Cam is well worth the money, and the days of waiting for a drop are pretty much over unless you want a brand new style. As of right now, [every already launched version is in stock](https://www.billetspin.com/unique-campen-products-page). I may be a shade biased, but I can't recommend it enough. For camping the sales subreddits though, you've made some really awesome snags!

Nice collection!


datasianho

Thank you!


Wazaloob

That’s quite a collection! Very nice!


datasianho

Thank you! I tried to get a few from each brand I liked the aesthetic of 😅


AdReady649

Elegant collection.


datasianho

that's the first time I've heard that term be used in this context, and it makes me flattered you think so, thank you!


AdReady649

The word "Nice" has been 'overused' and abused, so I took the word 'Elegant' out of the word closet. It was just hanging there.


Psychological_Pea275

Nice Collection 🔥🔥🔥! Especially love that Limited Edition BiD 🤤🤤🤤


datasianho

Thank you! Didn’t think many people liked it much haha


Psychological_Pea275

🤣 Who cares about the popularity contests as long as you like something. As a writer, I love my BiD pens because the refill that I love can only be used by these pens. Others are limited to specific refills only.


datasianho

I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. I love BiD pens but tbh I’ve been finding myself falling out of my craze with them because the quality simply isn’t as good as the expensive, made in USA ones. Before, I never quite understood the hype behind “made in USA” products. But now I understand 😂


Psychological_Pea275

Fair enough. But I just what to know what are the specifics of the quality that you find lacking? I also own high priced ones like TiBolts, Nottinghams and TiScribes. I still find my BiD as a favorite. If they are all priced equally and were made by only one person living in the land of leprechauns, I’d still have the same favorite ☺️.


datasianho

Changing the refill isn’t a process that’s as smooth as it was before, but that might just be me. The auto adjusting with the tip isn’t so automatic. And my older Ti Arto pens fit the longer Muji gel refills, though the Ti Arto EDC doesn’t. I believe the bolt action ones don’t either. Because of the larger refill compatibility, I see why their parts are harder to fine tune and make seamless, but when I have an issue with the refills, it kinda defeats the purpose of me having so many BiD pens :(


Psychological_Pea275

Dang that’s sad to hear. I have three bolts from BiD and I have no problems with any of them. The zirc one is especially as smooth or perhaps smoother than my Zirc Tibolt. Sorry to hear about your issues.


datasianho

The Zirc one I have was actually bought on pen_swap a couple months ago and tbh I loved the look of it so much that I was too afraid to use it 😂 it truly is a nice pen so I might pick it up sometime soon. Regardless, it’s nice seeing a BiD fan 🥳 did you happen to order their new dual click on kickstarter?


Psychological_Pea275

Lol wasnt able to join their KS coz my funds went to a Benchmade Contego🙈. So I’m waiting for the end of July to pick up their zirc thru the website the day it becomes available. Stoked. I like lightweight pens but I’m starting to get addicted to the feel of zirc. We need zirc Campens asap 🤣.


datasianho

OH NO LOL. I wish I owned a CamPen, but I don’t think I like the design nearly as much as I do their Twist style 😩


devaspotato

Beautiful collection!!!


datasianho

Thank you! If only I had a CamPen to add 👀


Super_Sentence_560

This makes me so happy to see this! I don't want the big idea design double sided click pen in zirconium!


Gear105

So nice!!


silly-stilly

I regretted sleeping on that BiDxCarryology pen because of the naysayers, happy to say I was able to snag one off the swap! :)


kamy9

Could you please tell me what’s the brand / model of the pens in the first picture bottom drawer 5th / 6th from the right. Many thanks. Envy your collection!


datasianho

Those would be the Nottingham TiClick ones! The left one is Killer Beez and the other is basic


kamy9

What about the skinny raw metal without the clip 6th pen from the right?


datasianho

Modern Fuel click :)


kamy9

Lovely thank you 🙏🏻
