Phil K
Chief Penbeat
I'm the person behind Cap and Barrel, driven by an interest in fountain pens, their inks, and mechanical pencils. My role involves diving deep into these remarkable tools, discovering what makes each one unique, and sharing those insights. Often, this leads to the delightful occupational hazard of inky hands! Ultimately, I'm here to cultivate a personal reference archive, fueled by curiosity and the joy of exploring the world of writing implements, and I hope you'll find it an enjoyable journey too.
