First, I am a pen person- I have way too many for any one person to reasonably have and use in a lifetime! But there’s something about them that brings me joy, so I frequently will look for any new ones that are available. This is my first time purchasing this brand, but it certainly won’t be my last! I really have enjoyed using this pen- it’s comfortable in my hand and it writes smoothly and consistently. It’s a finer line when writing- perfect for use in my Hobonichi Weeks. I’m really glad that I took a chance on this- it’s going to be fun checking out other options from this brand! Read more
This is exactly what I was needing to create additional sections in my planner, but black ink is too harsh. Perfect gray color. Very smooth. I'd buy more. Read more
For some reason, I love pens. I own and purchase many pens. This pen is one of my favorites. It looks great and it writes well. I especially love the olive colored ink. I use this pen to grade papers and write in my journal. I love it. I would say this pen is worth the price. For pen lovers who like unique ink colors, this pen is for you. Read more
I like to write with fine point pens but this pen has inconsistent ink flow. Read more
This pen has some great features.. The last 1/3-1/2 of the pen, where your fingers clasp around it, is silicone making it a very nice experience to hold. The clip and push button end look, feel, and work just like a standard pen. What I did not notice when picking out the pen is that each different colored barrel pen has a different color ink. So my ink is a medium dark sage green. I wish I had paid more attention to this, so that I could pick the ink color I wanted vs. the pen barral color I wanted. None the less, this color does show up nicely on white paper and I can use it for my card writing vs. my professional documentation (which requiress blue or black ink) It says the writing instrument is .38. I typically purchase .5 and to be honest, I cannot tell the difference looking at what I wrote in either pen size. Smoothness: I noticed right away that writing with the pen did not feel smooth when I tested the pen on standard computer paper. Luckily I know pens well enough to know that some pens transfer the feeling of the paper (smooth vs. rough) back up to the user and can be felt by the person holding the pen. That is the case here. When I wrote on my cardstock, the pen ink felt smoother. So basically this pen feels smooth when you write on smooth paper, but feels the texture when writing on less smooth paper! More expensive the paper, the smoother it is.. so this pen will feel fabulous on smooth paper, and will feel not good on cheap paper. No fault of the pen. The ink writes the same either way, but the writing experience feels different to the user. Hope this review helped! Read more
I love pens. I love fine point pens. I enjoy gel pens but like fine tips better. Behold a colored fine tip gel pen! The color is just as I expected. It's a lovely hue. The point is fine-very thin lines. Unfortunately the ink flow is hit or miss. Sometimes it writes very smoothly, other times it is scratchy and ink is sparce. It may be due to keeping it in a pencil bag that could end up laying at any angle, but my larger tip gel pens don't struggle. I think this pen shows why so few have tried to make fine tip gel pens. Now I get it. Because this is not a smashing success, I don't not think it's worth the value placed on it. It would be a reasonable pen for a third or quarter of the price maybe. Read more
First thing - I would have preferred it if the pen clip was a complimentary color! But I understand why they make it such a big difference so the pen does pop and stand out. The ink is pretty close to the product picture and it is comfortable to hold. The material of the pens feel a little frosted if you know what I mean, but the color is so nice. It says the pen is made in Korea and it is really well made - feels substantial in the hand and ink flows nicely. 100% will buy more! Although I think it's a little costly though - so I might just wait out for sales if there's any. Read more
I love good writing instruments and particularly enjoy stationery from Japan and Korea. This is new brand to me, but I'm pleasantly surprised. The body of the pen matches the color of the ink (mustard). The clip is a contrasting orange, and the overall weight is light (too light). The grip is non-slip. The click top is sturdy but not too loud and the pen has zero rattle (whoo-hoo!). 0.38 is a finer tip than most typical American pens but the gel ink has a solid flow which keeps the pend from skipping. The ink color is as advertised and it dries almost instantly. Dinging it one star for the overall look/design which is a little cheap looking. Otherwise a very solid pen, even for pen snobs.
