Anyone use a Sharpie Sherpa?
on: May 09, 2018, 09:54:55 AM
I came across these a few months back and finally ordered one. I use a sharpie daily so for me this is a much welcomed upgrade to any sharpie as well as a few other markers or standard pens such as Uniball. It’s basically a sleeve for your sharpie (or other pens/markers) to give it a high end look and feel. They have a bunch of different designs for the sleeves as well. I have not received mine yet but I am sure I will love it. Just wondering if anyone else has one or if the MTO crowd has even heard of these? I’m willing to bet a few of you may find these interesting and possibly useful. I will give initial impressions once I get mine.  :tu:

Here’s a video just for reffence so you can get a idea of the product.

Neat idea for a sharpie Capt.  I'm using the mini's more and more these days.

Maybe not. They start at £45 each on amazon here including delivery.

I've never even heard of these before, and now I feel like I have to have one!  I will admit to being a bit scared to look up the pricing on them though!   :ahhh

I got mine for $35 on Amazon. Some go for $50! I figured what the heck. I really, really want to try one out and at $35 I went for it.

The circuit board one on Amazon is £86.85 in the official sherpa shop including delivery.  A reseller in the uk has the same thing for £26.99, which will be around £30 including delivery, thats one hell of a difference in price

Eh, for me, smaller in the pocket is better than bigger in the pocket.

Sharpie mini.

I carry a blue mini on my work keys and a black one (with a plum cap on it) in my little accessories pouch with my LM bit extension etc. in it.

I recieved mine and wow is it well made. Everything fits toghether very well and it feels like a extremely expensive (kinda is) product. I see another one or two of these in my future when I get the spare cash.

I got the backgammon version, but only because it was the only style I could find on Amazon for $35. There are a handful of styles I rather have but I’m good with the one I got.

Wow.  These seem like one of the most spectacularly pointless EDC gewgaws I've seen.

Another update. Nothing to exciting to say but it’s still working out well for me and I get a strange joy from having my sharpie in one of these. I can’t say enough how much of a quality well made product it is. It feels and is very high quality.

Closet thing I have to this is the Stainless Steel Sharpie.  It does feel a bit nicer than the simple plastic one, but it's also bulkier. :shrug:
