  4. 3 new Kaweco Sports coming out this summer, 1 in the Kaweco Collection series, & 2 additions to the new Lunar series.

    The Light Blue I'm kinda so-so on, but Shadow Blue and Marble Ocean look great. Lunar Sports are available in all Sport types, Marble Ocean is fountain pen only.

  7. Acquired Lochby Field Folio A6 (Lochby)

    Keep your A6 notebooks, pens, and essentials organized on the go with the Field Folio A6. Durable, vegan waxed canvas, slim design, and flexible pockets—perfect for travel, journaling, or everyday carry.

    I recently asked the kind folks at Lochby “if the Folio A6 will comfortably fit 25-50 standard 4 x 6″ index cards which are slightly larger than an A6 notebook? If not, is it something you might consider for some of us ‘Hipster PDA’ tribe members in the future?”  

    Erring on the side of caution their customer service replied, “Unfortunately, since the Field Folio A6 zips up, there’s no way to fit this many index cards in it without the potential for damaging them when zipping it up. But I’ll take note of your suggestion and pass it on to our product development team so we can consider it as well as gauge interest.”

    Because I often use A6 sized notebooks, I couldn’t resist adding to my Lochby collection, so I went ahead and ordered it anyway.

    It arrived in the post yesterday. Today I’m happy to report that it actually will accommodate 4 x 6″ index cards reasonably well.  I can comfortably fit about 30 cards into the right side pocket and still have room to tuck a Hobonichi A6 notebook into the folio and still zip it shut handily. 

    Because I usually have a few pre-glued decks of index card “notebooks” sitting around, I tried one of these and can happily report that the back cover/board fits into the right pocket easily (just as you’d tuck the back cover of a notebook into it) and works well with the Lochby A6 folio! (The center elastic bands are slightly smaller and fairly tight, and could work with these glued decks too, but will tend to cut the glue at the ends, so one should take care here or carefully only glue the center 5 inches of the deck for this use case.) I suspect that if one had a plastic wallet-photo type holder, it might work well in this, particularly if you’re carrying around some of your daily use cards in addition to blank cards for future use. 

  8. Acquired File Tab 3 Inch Punch (McGill Incorporated)

    A punch for making file tabs of 2 1/4" x 3/4"
    P/N 68500

    I had been considering getting a custom punch made several times, but never looked to see if one already existed commercially. Today, while doing a 5 minute peruse of the thrift store, there it was!

    When you use as many tabbed index card dividers as I do, this can be incredibly useful. It’s just the right size for doing 1/3 cut tabs on 4″ x 6″ index cards.

    Acquired at Acts Thrift Store on October 7, 2025 for $2.50.

  9. On average, the typical A5 sized notebook (Leuchtturm, Hobonichi, Stalogy, Moleskine, Midori, Clairefontaine, Apica, Kleid, etc. ranging from 192 to 368 pages) has an equivalent square footage of writing surface to the front (only) of about 420 4 x 6 inch index cards. On a cost basis, for the same amount of money, on average one can buy 1,200 index cards for what they’re shelling out for equivalent notebooks.

  11. Index Card Cases, Wallets, Covers, Pouches, etc.

    I've had an oddly large number of emails over the past few months asking me for advice about what sorts of index card cases and carrying options I use on a daily basis.  Rather than tip out my zettelkasten in fits and spurts on the topic, I thought I'd pour out all those ideas out here instead.  If you're all-in on the ever-growing neo-index card lifestyle, then you should really work at adding some actual style to your fichier boîte practice. If your note taking has you going through […]

  12. Index Card Accessories for Note Taking on the Go

    Index Card "Notebooks"? Before I go the DIY route, has anyone seen gummed 4 x 6" index cards available for sale? I'd love to have a bunch of index cards temporarily glued together almost in notebook form for easy use and portability. I'm looking for something along the lines of traditional note pads or memo pads like this: https://finecardstock.com/product/memo-pads-paper-white-4x6/, but which used a thicker index card stock. I know there are a handful of manufacturers who make spiral […]
