I just found a new brand at Fastenal...Rock River...it's a solid paint stick a lot like the Sakura brand. I think the Sakura style writes smoother than the Markal. Found a full Dykem (it was like a Markall brand paint stick by the tracks in KCMO! I have both styles in my bag now.

Oh ya...i always stick to white and black...guess I'm just boring...

I agree the sakuras write way smoother but if the metals rough even slightly it seems to eat them up. Even when im light on the tip. White and black do show the best but theyre usually sold out at art stores too. And i like to dabble in other coolers. Pink sakuras look rad

Markal you get twice the paint for half the price. as long as you keep a chisel tip on it it writes like a sakura. never used mean streak.

I prefer Sakuras because they're smoother. Also good are livestock markers. They're thicker than Markals and almost as soft as Sakuras. They're made for writing on cows so they're waterproof and don't fade too much in the sun.

I use them for... scrapbooking. Yeah. Let's go with that.

i recently got my hands on some of them cattle markers, theyre rad as fuck just hard to keep them from getting crushed in my pack.
also i noticed that the kinda stay greasy for awhile.
