In this video I’m reviewing the Platinum BISO from a left-handed perspective—because the only thing I love more than a new model is a new model that comes in under $200. I go over what you’re actually getting for the money, how it feels in hand, and why Platinum making something like this at this price point is genuinely exciting. The color is the big headline for me here: it’s gorgeous, and it’s the kind of “limited edition” vibe that still feels usable, not precious. I also talk through the annoying part: I really wish Platinum included a converter. That’s one of those small things that changes the whole out-of-box experience, especially if you’re the kind of person (me) who’s immediately thinking about ink testing and daily use. Along the way I mention what I’m pairing it with—like Robert Oster Green Green—and the notebook/cover setup I’m using, since the pen doesn’t live in a vacuum. If you’re a lefty wondering whether this is a fun pickup or a pass, I break down the practical takeaways and where this pen fits in a real rotation.
