Continue ShoppingOn the 10th of June 1943, brothers Laszlo and Gyorgy Biro obtained the patent for the ballpoint pen. The invention changed the world of writing forever. Today, we celebrate National Ballpoint Pen Day with a special Top 5 list and a giveaway!
Kiran joins Tom to share her Top 5 Ballpoint pens of 2019. As you might know from watching his pen reviews, Tom is more of a fountain pen enthusiast, so it's hard to convince him to write with anything otherwise. Kiran argues that everyone needs or has a ballpoint pen in their writing arsenal because you never know when you need one in a pinch to write on paper that isn't "fountain pen friendly."
So, we talk about a list of pens that are suitable for fountain pen enthusiasts for a variety of reasons. Here is the top 5 list of pens with a few main takeaways for each pen. Scroll on below to find the form where you can enter for a chance to win a Sailor 1911 ballpoint pen as part of our Ballpoint Pen Day Celebration!
