Awesome Markers

The Marksmith Titanium bolt action pen is unique in that it holds a permanent felt-tip marker rather than a ballpoint pen. It opens and closes easily with one hand, and uses a genuine Sharpie-brand retractable, refillable fine-tip marker cartridge. Those come in black, blue, red, yellow highlighter, and a multicolor highlighter pack.

Upgrade your Sharpie permanent marker with this beautiful metal case from Maratac. It’s made from grade 5 titanium and has a tear-drop pattern that provides grip and visual interest. It has an O-ring to keep the pen from drying out and doubles as a pill or bill cache when there’s no marker inside.

The Marksmith retractable permanent marker now comes in DLC-coated black titanium. It features a satisfying spring-loaded bolt action mechanism and takes a genuine Sharpie permanent ink refill that writes on virtually anything. Comes in matte and satin finishes.

Zebra’s bullet-tipped permanent markers are a great alternative to Sharpies. Each PM-701 marker has a sleek stainless steel barrel. Its refillable ink cartridges resist drying out and can write after leaving the cap off for up to five days. Available in black, blue, red, and green inks. The black version comes in a 12-pack as well.

We had no idea that Sharpie permanent markers came in so many colors. This Ultimate Collection comes with a whopping 115 markers, including a mix of fine, ultra-fine, neo, metallic, twin tip, and chisel tip markers. It’s also available in a 72-pen set.

Like many illustrators and designers, Berkay Gursoy has quite the collection of Copic markers for coloring his images. But we love his concept design for a single marker that could be adjusted to any color simply by moving its three color sliders. Of course, if you’re being a stickler it should have been a CMYK marker.

Graviky Labs developed a device that’s fitted over the exhaust pipes of vehicles and generators to trap and gather soot. The pollution is then scrubbed of toxic materials then used to make ink for markers and screen printing.
