Fascinating article. Seeing the "uni" and wondering if that was in fact the beginning of what we know as uni-ball was neat.

And since the authors' shop is local to me I'm going to have to go see what they've got!

If they also sell mechanical pencils, get a Zebra Drafix and Pentel PG-5, and maybe a Pentel Smash (aka Q1000) and/or Pentel 120 A3-DX.

You'll not be disappointed. :)
