Hi pen friends! In this January Currently Inked, I’m sharing the pens and inks that have been living in my new pen case lately—basically a roundup of what I’ve been reaching for the most from November through January. These are the ones that have seen the most action for journaling, sketching, and everyday writing, so it’s a really cozy snapshot of what’s actually on my desk right now (not just what’s pretty in a collection photo). I also give you a peek at my new ink journal and how I’m starting to document my inks in a way that feels useful for real life—pairing, revisiting favorites, and keeping track of what I’m enjoying across seasons. You’ll see a mix of my sparkly, fun BENU picks alongside more classic daily-writer options like the Kaweco Al-Sport, Pilot E95s, and even a Jinhao 10. I’ll be sharing deeper thoughts and progress updates on these pens soon, but this video is all about what’s currently in rotation and why it’s been working for my Hobonichi Day-Free journaling days.
