He makes an elaborate pencil sharpener.

Some soft requirements of what I'm trying to find.

Want it to be like a calendar in the front, tons of room for random notes in the back, wouldn't hate having that reversed in position Plenty of pages (around 200-300) Fits in back pocket At least weekly calendar or enough room to plan one or two things a day Dot grid pages Limited bleed, going to use a fountain pen Weatherproof hard cover (or durable enough for a year of carry)

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for short 2mm lead holders. I plan on using it to hold colored lead to use as a "highlighter" when reading.

So far I've found a few such as the Kaweco Special S. and the KOH-I-NOOR Short Mechanical Clutch.

Younger workers prefer physical stationery, and sending postits to colleagues instead of online messages

And I add: hierarchies of paper in general regarding quality for writing. Personally, would rank Rhodia at the same level that Clairefontaine (my standard for working).
