The word on the Leuchtturm pen is "Drehgriffel", the D is from an old German writing system no longer in use, which is why it looks a bit weird. The first part of the word "Dreh" means turn or twist. The second "Griffel" is an old word, rarely used nowadays. It comes from "Griff", meaning grip. A griffel is a holder for chalk, like children used back in the day for learning how to write, or pencil lead. A Drehgriffel would probably be a version which you can twist so more chalk or pencil comes out, kind of like a tube of lipstick. So it might be the name for this pen, and I would guess it also comes in a mechanical pencil version that hold thicker sticks of graphite.
He missed the most important part :) If I may expand on Griffel a bit, it is also a (slightly derogatory) term for "fingers". Adults would say to children "nimm die Griffel da wech!" ("Don't touch that" or "take your greasy paws off that!") therefore, you could say the name of this pen is a very clever double entendre, proving the subtle humour we Germans are famous for ;)
I too find great satisfaction from finding the perfect storage solution / option for all of my “things”, particularly vintage tins and boxes. I started collecting old cigarette tins and use them for stickers, postage stamps and small stationery supplies I use for work (post it’s, paper clips, etc.) It brings me great joy to use them every day and I’m always on the lookout for more! Thanks for sharing yours!
And this is why you are one of my top fav TH-camrs. I will search for years for that perfect match of object and container, and once I find it I will have joy from it Every. Single. Time. I open the lid. You are my people.
Love this video - I just got myself the sister to this pouch in the lighter tan, and I love it too! And, I also love tins and zip pouches. I have a metal roofing tool box in my ebay cart... I may end up making a flatter tool pouch to go with what I have, like yours. I think it holds more goodies. Happy tool case to you!
Your videos are so joyful. EDC twinning - Kaweco - check Journal - check Opinel - check (lives in my hiking bag though!) Affinity with nice leather journal covers -check Sewing pouch- check
Sounds like me looking for the perfect camera bag. Over the years I've collected more than two dozen and none of them are perfect. Think I might end up designing my own bag.
Good luck either in your search, or in the making of your own! That would be amazing to be able to make it yourself, get all your boxes ticked for the perfect bag.
I love the Yuruliku canvas pen pouch. They were just restocked a few weeks back on Baum Kuchen. All three colors. It took me a week to decide - brown, beige, or black? Hmmm. Then the brown sold out so it was just beige or black to choose from….then the beige sold out, so black it is. I had the black one in my cart while I took my time making some other choices of things to buy…by the time I got around to putting my order through, the black was sold out. I think maybe my heart just wasn’t in it, the purchasing of this pouch, because I knew it was going to sell out, yet still I waited….I think the price might have something to do with it. Baum Kuchen has such beautiful things, but you need to make up your mind and jump on them when they restock, because nothing lasts long.
Thanks for sharing the great system! So many beautiful tins. ❤ Some of my color pencils are getting quite short and I found out about pencil extenders and Balckwing makes one.
Someone recommended that pouch on reddit the other day for the Weeks. I'm finishing up crocheting one for myself temporarily, but it's nice to see this pouch used! I love your videos so much. And thanks for introducing me to TOXMOT's channel :)
You got it!!! It's such a wonderful pen case, not sure why I waited so long to get it 😂 Love how you organized it with all your daily tools. Thanks for the shoutout! 🙏
Ooh. Ouch. Shiver me timbers --> *_it's a pencil!!_* ;-p (I use them too.) Have you tried the "E+M Peanpole Wood Pencil Extender" to make extra short pencils longer? Jet Pens (and probably others) carry them. Mine work exceptionally well. (edit: but, alas, they don't fit over the huge Blackwing erasers.)
I have a small collection of old toolboxes and tool bags, and I always find a use for them; so i can relate to this video (= Are you familiar with the brand "Klein Tools"?, they have excellent canvas tool pouches, really good for storage of small itens. Look for their "Zipper tool bag" line. On the subject of EDC, 'MARATAC' manufactures AA/AAA flashlights in Brass and copper, which in my opinion would be excellent companions for your little Kaweco. They also have really tiny brass lighters. Love de Opinel knife. I also carry a gray handle N. 8. If you like old style knives, check out the "Otter Mercator" Solingen pocket knives. Really thin design, also with cooper and brass handles, perfec fit for your pen pouch. I can talk about gear four hours ...(= Thanks for the video.
I have this pen pouch in the same color! I use it for traveling. My Canon Ivy mini printer, cable, and extra paper, along with a couple of pens and journaling supplies all fit nicely. Have not added a pin, maybe I should pick one out to put on it! Yuruliku also has an A5 journal cover/pouch similar to this case. You might have seen it on the BK website, but that would be good for traveling, too, especially with your Leuchtturm!
Of Chinese origins, we collect mooncake runs square shaped, 21 cm x 21 cm, 6 cm deep, and highly decorative. Being stackable, it is the original OG of storage tins.
You have an interesting collection, but I think that if you used either a Pentel P025 or Pentel QE517 Twist-Erase mechanical pencil, you could eliminate the bulky pencil sharpener. With both brands of pencil you have a choice of 0.5 or 0.7 mm leads, which are so thin they shouldn't need sharpening. Like you, I have cases, boxes, and pouches with many items in them. In the past, I've had to search thru them if I can't remember what's in them. Now I use a black Sharpie to mark the contents, such as Benu, Pelikan, Parker, or plumbing, electrical, seals & wax, &c.
That blackwing sharpener is the best! As you get into pencils have you given much thought or interest to mechanical pencils? I’ve been using a 0.35mm rotring 600 for a while and i think it would be up your alley. It has a brass body so it’s very heavy with black enamel over it which gives it such a lovely texture. It just feels so good in your hand! And i write soooo tiny so the 0.35 lead is a bonus
I'm not at all fond of rOtring. I've had the advance mechanism i=one several wear out way too fast compared to other brands that are much cheaper. I have Pentel mechanical pencils that are nearly forty years old, and that I used for hours every day, and that still work perfectly. On that same job, none of use had a rOtring last six months. Nor does 0.35 lead make any sense to me. It's nonstandard and can be very hard to find. Many brands have 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0. 7, and 0.9, so why did rOtring think 0.35 was a good idea? I sus[ect they wanted everyone to buy their lead, but whatever the reason, I think it was a terrible idea. Even if they didn't wear out so fast, that lead size would be a dealbreaker for me. Anyway, with the mechanical pencils I really like, I buy four of each lead size because I often use mechanical pencils for graphite art and I need from 4H to 4B in each lead size. It just makes like easier as an artist. I haven't done any research for a couple of years, but last time I tried I also couldn't find any 4H to 4B lead in 0.35. This, too, is a serious dealbreaker for me. But I do love mechanical pencils. Still, there are thing I can do with woodcase pencil that are extremely difficult with mechanical pencils. I can also sharpen them differently, which is a problem with mechanical pencils. And I can smell the cedar, which is a major bonus. But I have about seventy-two or so different models of mechanical pencils, and I do use them quite a bit. I gave my grandkids a bunch of models I didn't like, along with enough lead to last for years. Grandkids are the excuse I have for buying too many pencils, notebooks, and all sorts of things. Anyway, a pencil new to me is the Pentel Orenz. It's cheap, but it writes well, and it has auto-advance which makes it wonderful for drawing or writing. Put a piece of lead in, click once, and I never have to click again until the entire stick of lead is gone. It also has no lead extending past the sleeve so the is no broken lean, even when using 0.2mm. But I also have eighteen different brands of woodcase art pencils with lead ranging from 9H to 14B, and as much as I enjoy mechanical pencils, woodcase pencils are still far and away my favorite for drawing, and for writing.
I simply must have that case you keep your Canon Ivy in!! It looks like you might’ve made it yourself?? I would love to buy one from you if you’d allow me the honor🥹
Always such a joy and treat to watch you write Alicia. Even with pencils and gel pens!! Will you do a one pen collection? I have a hunch it will be the kaweco brass sport pen. 😅😅😅
Hello and thank you! What does a one pen collection mean? Do I pick just one pen that I’d want to keep if I could only have one? Or do I pick one pen from different categories, ie: vintage fountain pens, modern fountain pens, regular pens, pencils, etc. 🤣
@@adventuredenali if you have to choose just one pen, for the rest of your life, to write with, or keep! 😅😅😅 But I think choosing one pen from each category will make an interesting video as well!🤩
I’m considering buying a Kaweco. Would you recommend the sport or the liliput. The liliput looks cute. I’m wondering if you’ve written with it. Since it’s small and narrow I’m just wondering your thoughts. Thanks
Hello! I personally prefer the sport, it’s thicker which for me felt more comfortable to hold. In addition, I can write with the Sport unposted , where as the Liliput is too small to not be posted - and requires the cap to be screwed on in order to do so (which I did not find very convenient). The Liliput is super cute, but for me did not feel nearly as convenient or practical. I have made a video for the Liliput that you could take a look at: Kaweco Pen Thoughts: The Liliput and Supra th-cam.com/video/_77MJ75xFbc/w-d-xo.html
My problem with Blackwing pencils is that they won't fit in a pencil extender unless you cut them off right below the ferrule, which I do when they get too short to use. Well, that, and the fact that I think they're hideously overpriced. I, too, love finding the perfect storage solution for given items. Unfortunately, I accumulate given items far, far faster than I find perfect places to store them.
Yeah I know what you mean. They’re rather proprietary in design. I did end up getting the Blackwing extender, which does the job. I didn’t like it at first, felt a little too long and back weighted. But it’s nice to extend the life of the pencil. They are an overpriced pencil, but I can’t help but enjoy them, and if one were to ask why? I’d struggle to find an answer. Maybe I’m just a sucker for the hype that precedes them. May all your items one day find their perfect place!
I'm sorry, but I didn't find any stores that ship overseas. I'm interested in how Japanese stationery is evaluated differently in Japan and overseas. I bought the Pilot 823 on your fountain pen rating

So a "Drehgriffel" must be a Writing Instrument with some sort of twisting or turning mecanism or so. That word then can even serve as a model name or trademark. You might know that part better than I do. Is that a gel pen which you twist to extend its tip in order to use it? That would fit well to that name. Generally, there are many words in German which tend to get very long, because when you combine words in German, you often do not keep the gap between it, as you would in most of the cases in English... Have fun, be creative and enjoy the year which has just started.

Thank you so much for sharing that bit of history! That’s marvelous, I enjoyed learning about the Drehgriffel very much!
So griffel is a chalk holder like the ones the costumers of “Star Wars” used on the uniforms as code cylinders.
I think the english word for Griffel is stylus.
As to the pronunciation: Dreh is like in Dr. Dre, the i in griffel is like the i in mix, ffel is like (she) fell.
He missed the most important part :) If I may expand on Griffel a bit, it is also a (slightly derogatory) term for "fingers". Adults would say to children "nimm die Griffel da wech!"

So you don't like to use up your pencil stubs in a pencil extender?
I do actually! I suppose what I should have said is that I have a box of pencils that can’t be sharpened anymore. :P
