The triangle pen
The triangle pen
Does anyone know the origin/specific purpose of three-sided pens? Why are they made and used instead of simple round pens? I'm sure no one just decided to make a triangle pen for the sake of it. Round pens fit easily into the hand and are omnidirectional. Flat pencils are used in construction because a carpenter can use a knife to cut it instead of finding a sharpener. So why triangle pens?

We had little triangle things that you could put round pencils inside of to make the grip triangle back in kindergarten. The purpose was to help us learn how to correctly hold a pencile.
It could be a gimick.

Hey uh Flash, Do you usually have your pencil roll off the table when a hurricane hits in your neiborhood?? ( ha ha ha ha )
Sounds annoying, i hate it when that happens to me.
