The best way to kick-start 2023 is with a pen review!
Today I will be reviewing the Full-Sized Peek-A-Boo pen from Schon Design. Schon Design was founded by Ian Schon, who primarily focuses on every-day carry (EDC) pens. These pens are manufactured in-house in Philadelphia, and range from fountain pens to ballpoint and rollerball pens.
Peek, or Polyetheretherketone, is a material that was developed in 1978 for the aerospace industry. Nowadays, it is used in hip and spine surgeries as a replacement for cortical bone—which is pretty neat!
Design: (4.5/5)
This is a full-size pen which measures 94 mm capped (3.7”). 138.5 mm posted (5.45”), and weighs 11 g. The grip is slightly flared and measures 10.2 mm (0.4”) to 11.2 mm (0.44”). The pen contains several O-rings in the cap and section in order to make the pen leak-proof. Additionally, the O-rings allow you to use the pen as an eyedropper pen. Since this is a screw-cap pen, it does require more “turns” than a slip-cap pen.
The “Peek-A-Boo” edition is imprinted with the Schon Design logo on the cap as well as an adorable ghost.
Color (5/5):
The Peek color is a warm-toned taupe.
Nib (5/5):
You can purchase 3 different sections for this pen - the standard fountain pen Jowo #6, rollerball, or #8 Bock section.
Ink Capacity (5/5)
This pen is compatible with international cartridges (0.8 mL) or as an eyedropper (1.7 mL).
Overall:
This Schon pen is a fantastic pen that can be used as either a fountain pen or ballpoint.
