Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter Wk_12 and booklets review! 

Thank you for watching and for your kind words 🙏

Glad it was helpful! Yes, they are expensive. The booklets are especially expensive if you live outside Germany because of the postage. But I'm using mine more and more these days. I was browsing the large sizes the other day, but 💰! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏

A Moleskine softcover would fit easily. These are made so any A5 notebook will fit, but I think soft/no cover options are best. A Midori MD notebook could be a good option. The WK_12 also has a suede lining rather than felt, so it's thinner. The pen loops are really handy too.

Wow - your MacBook Air? Which one is that?

@@sketchley MacBook Air (2021) perfect fit

I don't know whether that's possible. I bought mine from Roterfaden in Germany. Look out for more reviews soon! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 🙏

surely not

Not in my experience: they work well.

Yes, they are expensive... But it's one of those things that will last a lifetime. Having said that... do I _need_ mine? I'm not sure... It was a bit of a treat.

@@sketchley saying that I’m loving your videos. Trying to be more selective with my subscriptions but I will stick with you buddy. As long as I keep learning. Bought the artists way. Event I’ve just turned sixty I feel i have some creativity in me somewhere

That's great! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 🙏

Yes, they seem expensive, and they're definitely not for people who like to change their tools frequently (which can be fine). I think Taschenbegleiter is something for people who want to use one tool for almost a lifetime. I bought my first A5 (dance floring and felt) at Christmas 2009, my wife still uses it; two years later I bought an A5 (same materials) with four clips instead of the standard 3-clip version which has been my EDC for work ever since. I even put my hardcover Leuchtturm Bullet Journal in it. And I use an A6 (made from a printing blanket) when I just want to carry one of my (too many) pocket notebooks and some paper (and there are always a few stamps in the pocket in case I ever want to send postcards). To bring "variety" into my working life, I simply change notebooks :)

You slide a pen into the loops on either side. Use one loop, or slide one pen through both to "lock" it. Some people say fountain pens are too large (I wouldn't know) but pens like the Uni-ball Air work just fine.

Yeah - expensive. But quality does come at a cost. I'm wishing they did a slim one with suede lining and three clips now...
