2025 San Francisco Pen Show Haul Video: Glass Pens, More Glass Pens, and a Drillog!

Those looking for high-end glass and dip pens did not come away from San Francisco disappointed. Unless you waited too long, that is. The San Francisco Pen Show is notorious for product selling out on Friday morning, since weekend pass-holders queue-up early to get access to the most in-demand products. Despite not being able to be part of the initial rush since I was behind the table, I still managed to pick up a couple of fun pieces on Saturday: a glass pen from Glass Studio Aun with a broad nib, and a Drillog 2.0 with a .5mm tip size. Today's video walks through my pen show haul. 00:00 Introduction 00:36 Goby Design A5 Notebook 01:32 Plotter Bible Size Horsehair Binder 02:40 Glass Pen from Hanabi Glass Studio (fine/extra fine nib) 03:28 Glass Studio Aun (broad nib) 04:28 Drillog Dip Pen v1.0 vs. v2.0 07:40 Kobe Inks Background and Writing Samples 08:15: Kobe Ink Swatch Kikusui Biotope Green 10:22: Kobe Ink Swatch Tamon Purple Grey 12:54: Joe Drops the Drillog - Crisis Averted!
