5.0 out of 5 stars Best Inexpensive Pen Out There! August 29, 2010

By Jeff Kimble VINE™ VOICE

First, let me say I have a very weird obsession with pens. I try them all, on a constant voyage to find the perfect balance of smoothness, ink flow, and fine writing tips. Now I am not rich nor do I have the cleanest track record of keeping my writin' sticks for their entire life so I can't say I have ever had the opportunity to write with fancy $100+ devices. But in all reality, who needs a pen that expensive anyways?

I used to live and scribe religiously by the Pilot V5. But one day I decided to make the switch over to these and it has made a world of difference. The thing people love about the V5's is the "ink delivery system", or roller ball. But this isn't a technique owned only by Pilot and I was starting to get sick of always bending the needle point as well as the ink running out before the pen actually showed empty. Plus, I hated how the pen graphics(?) would always wear off my V5's. And I don't know if my hands are big or what but the clip always bent and would poke me in that fatty part of my hand between the index and thumb. Long story short, I picked these up.

These pens write even smoother than their major competitor. It's the same system, roller ball, but for whatever reason it seems to do it even better. The lines are dark and bold in color (or super black if you rock the black ones) and the pen just seems to carry itself along the page. I am a VERY small writer as well but I have no problem jotting down legible notes in my 2 point handwriting size. While having a smooth flow to it, the pen still has that paper "scratch" sound that I have grown to love as well. Also, I have found that I press a lot more lightly with these. So light that I won't even imprint carbon.... I only mention this because I used to press my V5's so hard that I could bend them or, on occasion, tear through to the next page. This pen doesn't require that pressure, though.

Another great thing is that the ink dries incredibly quick, a huge benefit if you're a lefty like I am. I'm told it's waterproof, can't be lifted for check security, and they're safe to fly with without the threat of them exploding in your pocket. As I'm not in the business of washing checks nor randomly tossing papers into puddles, I can't really verify the former 2 but the latter is true as the pen accompanied me on a flight recently.

The ink seems to last longer in these than the V5's as well so you won't need to be replacing them as often. The quality of the physical pen is much higher in my opinion, with a smoother feel, round ends for pocket friendly carry, and a stiffer "anti-hand jabbing" pocket clip that makes me smile.

All in all, if you are looking to purchase a Pilot V5 or are simply looking for a new pen, consider these first. The overall quality is much higher from the general design to the durability of the graphics, they last longer, write better and smoother, and make the beloved "scratch" sounds that people enjoy about the V5. I love these pens, hands down, and can't bring myself to write with anything else anymore. I have since stopped my constant pen quest. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Pens Ever December 17, 2009

By L. T. Lancaster

These are by far the best pens I have ever used. I try the other uni-ball, I try the bic, I've even tried the Dr. Grip. But the ink runs smoother in these pens. And the super fine point helps those of us who have very small handwriting.

If you like to hear the scratch of a pen on paper, these are the pens for you. Just don't wash them.

By brdmiller96

I have tested hundreds of different pen types. Ball point, gel, fountain... none compare. This pen writes with an amazing feel and look to it. If you are a fan of pens, look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth Writing Ballpoint Pen November 18, 2012

By bloomie

This ballpoint pen has a slender nib, which I prefer over a thicker nib with a broad line. The lines in this pen are sharp and smooth and the ink flows smoothly. I was given one to use at a retail establishment, and, of course, followed up by accessing Amazon for the same pen. Obviously, I was successful.

My favorite pens. I'm a college student and I keep every single one of these pens until they run out because I like them so much. Smooth action improves my handwriting and does not smudge frequently.

They are pretty good pens, seem to write smoothly, no skipping or blotting. Seven more words are apparently still required.

These are my very favorite pens! I have looked for a long time for a pen that writes in dark black ink that stands out without being too thick and these are them.
