Jac Zagoory Beta Inkless Pen

Writing instruments are popular Father’s Day gifts. But we will never suggest a just simple pen.  The Jac Zagoory Beta Inkless Pen is sort of a hybrid between a pen and a pencil. It leaves marking like a pencil but it never needs sharpening and it never runs out of ink. What witchcraft is this? It leaves a trail of metallic lead as it writes. Isn’t lead poisonous, you ask. Well, doesn’t your dad tell you how their generation is made from sterner stuff? Time for him to prove it.
