Is the pencil removable from the holster?

Yes, the pencil holster is designed to hold the included pencil securely during transport, but you can remove and replace it as needed. You can also use it to hold other similar-sized pencils.

What size is A5 in inches?

A5 measures approximately 5.8 by 8.3 inches. It's a popular medium notebook size that balances portability with usable writing space.

Why it's on GiftsFeed

Blank notebook with wrestler-designed cover and pencil holster

Most blank notebooks either look like school supplies or cost enough that you hesitate to actually use them. This one splits the difference: sturdy paper that handles real work, a format that travels without cramping your hand, and a cover that has some character without trying too hard. The pencil holster solves the problem of digging through your bag for something to write with, and the included pencil is quality enough that you won't immediately swap it out. If you want a notebook you'll reach for instead of letting it sit on a shelf, the balance here is right.

The details

This collaboration pairs a professional wrestler's art with a stationery brand known for its pencils. The result is a medium-sized blank notebook wrapped in Orange Cassidy's design, made for anyone who wants their sketching or note-taking gear to have a little personality.

The notebook measures 148 by 210 millimeters—the A5 standard—and opens flat to 160 pages of unlined paper. The stock is 100 grams per square meter, smooth enough for pencil work without bleed-through from most inks. The cover features Cassidy's artwork, drawn for this edition, which gives it a look you won't find in a standard composition book.

A pencil holster built into the spine holds the included Blackwing collaboration pencil. That means you always have something to write with, and the pencil itself shares the same design theme as the cover. The holster keeps the pencil secure whether the notebook is standing on a shelf or tossed into a bag.

Because the pages are blank, this works equally well for thumbnail sketches, meeting notes, daily journaling, or working through ideas without the constraint of lines. The size is portable but gives you enough room to think on paper. The paper weight handles dry media and most pens without ghosting, though heavy markers will show through.

This edition appeals to wrestling fans who also happen to be stationery users, but it doesn't require knowledge of the sport to appreciate. The design is bold and the format is practical. You get a notebook that holds up to daily use and a pencil that's ready to go from the moment you open it.
