Flying Tiger Copenhagen Bullet Journal Notebook Review (Pros, Cons & Pen Testing)

Flying Tiger Copenhagen is a random knick-knack chain store in most European capital cities. They have a random assortment of stationery including sticky notes, notepads and this bullet journal notebook.

See the rest of my Europe stationery haul here. For a list of my favorite stationery shops in Copenhagen (where I found this notebook) see here.

Quick facts

  • Size: 5.75″ wide x 8.5″ high
  • Hardcover
  • Sewn binding
  • 5mm dot grid
  • Cream colored paper
  • Pocket folder

Let’s take a closer look!

The Cover

Sturdy hardcover you typically find on sewn bound notebooks. There were a few cover colors to choose from.

Approx 0.75″ thick

2 Ribbon bookmarks

And 1 pocket folder adhered to the back cover

Pen Testing

I tried the usual ballpoint, gel, fine tip and erasable pens. All of them had some ghosting along with the stamps and highlighters.

Pros of the Notebook

  • Portable size
  • Cheap (approx $20 AUD)
  • Multiple cover colors to choose from

Cons of the Notebook

  • Paper prone to ghosting
  • Cream colored pages, not bright white

Would I use this planner?

Yes. Can never have too many dot grid notebooks! While not the best paper quality, the notebook was cheap so to be expected. It would make a good first notebook if you haven’t yet tried bullet journaling.

    Flying Tiger also has a store in NYC, way too conveniently located within a 5 minute walk from my office 🙂

      That sounds dangerous… I didn’t realise they had stores outside of Europe!

    Flying Tiger Copenhagen has nearly 30 stores in Japan, where they are pretty popular.

    You should never go to Japan. It’s too dangerous for stationery addicts. ^_^
