Currently Inked: Tombow Mono 4B and 6B Penmanship Pencils, Appointed Notebooks, and Yamamoto Paper!

This week on Currently Inked - or, dare we say, "Currently Sharpened" - I talk about what I'm using, which lately has included some extremely pencil friendly textured paper from Appointed, based in Washington, D.C., alongside one of my favorite pencils of all time, the Tombow 4B/6B penmanship pencil (sometimes referred to as the Handwriting or Calligraphy Pencil). I also unpack one of the "Paper Tasting" Sampler Sets from Yamamoto Paper in Japan: Gray Paper Volume 4. Late addition: I couldn't put it into the video, but since we've added so many pencils (in VERY large quantities), we're offering 10% off all pencil and pencil-related orders using the coupon code "PENCIL10" at checkout in our shop. The offer excludes TWSBI and Blackwing, which cannot be discounted. https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/curated-pencils 2:04 Yamamoto Paper Unpacking 5:57 Appointed Notebook and Pencils 12:18 Tombow Mono 4B and 6B Penmanship Pencils 14:55 4B vs. 6B Graphite Comparison View the rest of the "Currently Inked" series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL08mBTcDsBa1hSXY3HR8FgHnj-T8fP4i5 Yamamoto Paper Gray Paper Sampler Review: https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/blog/2025/5/7/discovering-unusual-paper-paper-tasting-sets-from-yamamoto-paper For a better view of the pencil sharpener I'm using in this video (The Caran d'Ache Pencil Sharpening Machine), check out this video: https://youtu.be/THIyT4EME5E Products featured in this video include: Yamamoto "Paper Tasting" Samplers: https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/curated-paper/yamamoto-paper-paper-tasting-sampler-packs Tombow Mono 4B and 6B Pencils: https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/curated-pencils/tombow-penmanship-pencils-4b-and-6b Appointed "The Notebook": https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/curated-paper/appointed-notebooks Appointed Natural Hex Pencils: https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/curated-pencils/appointed-no-2-pencil-set-natural Appointed Round/Capped Pencils: https://www.gentlemanstationer.com/curated-pencils/appointed-classic-no-2-round-pencils Many thanks for watching!
