Hands up, please, if you miss Nock Co.
Ah ok, thanks.
You can lower your hands again, thanks for taking part.
I’m not surprised so many here miss Nock Co. It’s a real shame they closed down. Their products were well thought-out and of great quality. Luckily, I backed all Nock Co. x Pen Addict Kickstarters, so can still enjoy a few of their pencil cases.
The 2015 Hightower is just a great pencil case.
The 2017 Sapelo fits perfectly in my Lihit Lab A4 sleeve that I use to transport my laptop to work every day – and the quality of the Sapelo so much better than that of the Lihit Lab case.
The 2018 Tallulah is my dedicated Rotring case.
There’s one case however I never really could find a great use for: the 2019 Burton. The waxed surface made me (probably needlessly) worried that it will make items sticky or greasy if the outside comes into contact with them. The inside was somehow too big for my purposes. The look is great though. Outside it is unobtrusive, inside it is happily and very bright green – it’s the bomber jacket among pencil cases.
My new use is not really stationery-related. It’s now my case for an 8 inch portable screen I use for Raspberry Pis. It’s not quite the intended “A5 notebook and some pens” use, but it works very well for me.
You’re absolutely right – Nock Co made some very well thought out items – I only got one – but wished I got more.
I hope you all have a great Christmas – best from the North West of England!
I love NockCo. I have the same feeling you do about waxed canvas– that Burton is the only Nock item I have that isn’t in use! The size is great though.
