Notebook Refill
Thread-sewn to lay flat. 80 pages of fountain-pen-friendly paper in JIS B6, complete with a fresh bookmark ribbon.
Paper that doesn't get in the way.
When it's full, slide in a fresh one. Each refill is 64 gsm Japanese-milled paper, thread-sewn to lay completely flat. Thin enough to keep the notebook slim. Substantial enough to handle fountain pens, rollerballs, and gel pens without bleed-through. 80 pages — enough for the project at hand.
-
Lays completely flat
Thread-sewn binding opens flat and stays there. Write across both pages without the spine pushing back.
-
Handles your pen
Minimal bleed-through and minimal show-through across fountain pens, rollerballs, and gel pens. 5 mm dot grid on every page.
-
Slim by design
64 gsm paper and 80 pages keep each refill thin. The notebook should carry what you need now — not three months of old notes.
Details
Designed for the Pensift Notebook.
This refill is made for the Pensift notebook — an Italian Epsom leather cover that stays slim, resists scratches, and lasts for years while you swap refills as needed.
Frequently asked questions
How does the refill system work?
Slide out the old refill, slide in a new one. A single elastic loop keeps each refill in place — no rings, clips, or mechanisms. The whole swap takes about five seconds. Each refill comes with a bookmark ribbon in the middle. To insert, open the refill to the middle page and slide it into the cover, then adjust so the ribbon sits clear of the elastic loop.
How long does one refill last?
Depends on how you use it. For daily writing, most people get 4–8 weeks from one 80-page refill. Heavier writers or sketchers may go through them faster. We'd suggest keeping 2–3 refills on hand.
Why only 80 pages?
Because a thicker notebook is a worse notebook. More pages means more bulk, more weight, and a stiffer spine that fights you when you try to lay it flat. 80 pages is enough for most active projects — and when you're done, you slide in a fresh refill instead of carrying around months of old notes.
What pens work with the paper?
The 64 gsm Japanese paper handles fountain pens, rollerballs, and gel pens with minimal bleed-through and minimal show-through. We've tested across a range of inks — the ink test photos above show typical results.
Can I use this refill in other notebook covers?
It's a standard JIS B6 size (128 × 182 mm), so it will fit any cover designed for JIS B6 notebooks. The refill works perfectly well on its own too — the thread-sewn binding is sturdy enough to use without a cover.
