This is a great day in Pokka history for me. I've been asking for quite a long time for basic red and now it's a reality. Thank you so much. My background with Pokka pens goes back a few years. As a resource teacher I was constantly on the move from classroom to classroom helping students. I tried all kinds of different pens and pencils that allowed me to easily have one on hand in a moments notice. There was the ol' string on a clipboard, then the pocket protector (don't judge) and finally a different company's telescopic pen that fit in the pocket, but it left ink marks all over my pants. When I found out about Pokka pens, my search was over and I've carried one in my pocket every day since. Even though I've retired three years ago, Pokkas are still part of my EDC. I couldn't live without them. They are a great product that make life easier and now they're even better because RED! (P.S. How cool would Pokka PENCILS be? Think of it. Teachers like me would love them. So would carpenters, tradesmen, golfers, even kids!)
