Monami Super Gel-Q Gel Ink Pen - 0.4 mm - Black

If you break apart what they call this pen like "Mon ami" it means my friend. And that's exactly what this pen has become to me. After I received my first one I have ordered at least 7 more in different colors. The grip alone is makes it awesome. The writing is smooth and this beauty does not skip. I love my Monami pens.

A bit thinner than expected from a 0.4mm line, and it scratches the paper. Sometimes it skips. The form factor is the same as other models from Uni (Signo) and Pilot (Hi-Tec) with a rubber grip. I would recommend the other brands.

After four or five uses, the ink of the pen just disappeared. POOF, it was gone. Monami my ass.
The ink was smooth and it flowed and suddenly it just stopped. I tried every possible way to get the ink out, but nothing happened. Now I have a useless $3 pen. HOORAY.

Bought this in blue/black and it is perfect in every way. Think I have found my new "pocket carry". Writes smoothly, writes easily and makes a wonderufl looking written word. And it comes in the slightly difficult to find blue/black. What more could a pen lover want?

This pen was a very pleasant surprise. It writes extremely smoothly, comparable to the Signo DX's and the Hi-Tec-C's. The ink is a bit more watery than I expected but it does dries in 3 seconds like the pen boasts. There is no pooling at all. I have no complaints in terms of performance other than it takes a few seconds to start up.

In terms of color, this was a little more blue-green than I expected it to be. It doesn't match the cap/grip/body color.
