Join me as I jump into the world of the multi-pen. I added an Uni 4&1 and a Pilot Coleto 1000 into my stationery arsenal, and so far, I am impressed with how great they are. In this video I show the variety of refill options, as well as writing samples comparing 3 different pens next to each other. Even as an avid fountain pen user, these multi pens have a place in my selection of writing tools.
Some various blog posts about multi-pens that helped guide me to choose these pens.
