Customer Reviews

I like this pen very much and find myself searching for this exact pen when I need to replace my pens. I like the 1.4 mm point because it makes a bold ball point line that looks close to a fountain pen type of line. It writes easily and smoothly on all kinds of paper textures. This is important to me because I spend a lot of time handwriting on charts and hospital records so fatigue is an issue. Only downside is that the ink does tend to run out sooner than most ballpoint pens and towards the end of its life, it gets a little goopy so you might get inkspots on your paper which is why it gets 4 instead of 5 stars. However, if you're like me, you're more likely to lose your pens before they run out of ink so it's seldom an issue.

I actually find myself searching for these pens in my house even if I have a regular BIC right in front of me ... they write smoothly and evenly and don't take a minute to "get started" like BICs that have been sitting around for awhile. They're smooth writing with fast drying ink that is very easy to read on white paper. Just remember to pick off the little wax nub on the tip of the pen before using. :)
