I found one of these pens rattling around a drawer at home, and after five minutes of use, I knew I had to order a box of them so that I wouldn't run out. I love their smooth, black gel ink, which makes writing a breeze. They are great for journal writing or everyday use, they don't smear, leak through the page, or hurt your hand if you do a great deal of writing in one sitting. And when you buy them by the dozen, you can't beat the price!

I've used these pens for 14 years. They are, by far, my favorite pen. However I've noticed the last couple of times that I've purchased them that they are not as good as they used to be. I'm starting to see a lot of blots, or sections of the nib that do not work straight out of the box. I don't know if they changed where they are made, how they are made, or what is used to make them, but they need to go back to the old way.

I have been using these pens for many years. They write smooth and easy.
They do not skip or seem to have problems like so many other pens

I first came upon this pen at a friend's home when I was making some notes. I really liked the way it wrote so I bought a 2-pack of them at a local store so I could spend some more writing time with them. This is a great, fine point, roller ball pen. It writes effortlessly and perfectly every time. The ink is also designed to help prevent check writing fraud. Now I've bought a box of them. I have a lot of different kinds of pens and this is one of my favorites.

About 18 years ago I was teaching kids outdoors. On the rare occasions that a student misbehaved I would write his or her name down to talk with me after class. One particularly wet winter my list got wet and the writing dissolved. Later, I could not get the trouble-makers to own up, so I decided that week to find a pen with water-proof ink. The Uniball Deluxe worked so well that it became the only pen I ever bought anymore. Unfortunately, as new pens have become available, these have become harder and harder to find in office supply stores, so I was very happy to find them readily available on Amazon. I think people who do a lot of writing tend to have favorite pens because they like the way they feel, or the way they write--maybe it has something to do with the creative process. These work really well for me, so I buy them by the case. Over the years I've had a couple that leaked or didn't write as smoothly, so I think quality control is a small issue. Also, writing over white-out tends to deteriorate the tip and can ruin the pen if you do it a lot. This review is probably a bit OCD for most people, but if you are a writer or artist then you probably understand.
