Since I am going to use this new
Nomadic Multi-Pocket PN-02 Pen Case as a birthday gift holder, I figured I might as well do a quick photo review for it first
. For a properly thorough review, you might want to check the
Pen'N'Paper blog. It is made of the same rip-resistant nylon material as my treasured
Nomadic PE-10 Tri-Fold Khaki Pencil Case that holds a good portion of my mechanical pencils and leadholders collection.
To test its capacity, I randomly stuffed it with the sketching tools shown above: 2
Copic cases with sets of
Multiliner SP pens, a set of 4
Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens in their plastic pouch, and a couple of erasers. Additional photos in my
Flickr photostream:

photo 7.
For such a compact pen case, the
Nomadic PN-02 can certainly hold quite a bit of sketching tools. Without the rigid
Copic plastic pen cases, it could easily hold more than a dozen pens. It would make for an adequate
compact sketching kit if you could find it. Good luck hunting one down though, for
Jet Pens clearanced them a while ago.
Here you go George: this
Faber Castell Slide Rule has actually been part of my collection forever. Had it since my first college drafting course, but I did not have to learn how to use it since
scientific calculators had pretty much replaced them by then.

Consider
grasshoppers that before personal computers and portable calculators were widely available, students and engineers actually had to figure out
how to use these gizmos in order to make simple
Trigonometric calculations. Can't explain why I have hold on to this family memento for so long. It used to belong to an uncle that used it during his time as a student at
Architecture school decades ago. Guess subconsciously I just like cool-looking gadgets that used to share the drafting tables with my beloved vintage
drawing leads.
