By jay

Excellent writer. Nice fine smooth line.

Contrary to what's indicated in some of the other reviews, the cap DOES post to the end of the pen. It has to be mated properly. A sleeve on the cap slides under a mating piece on the body. When properly mated, the cap becomes an almost seamless extension of the body of the pen. It's the best, most secure method of posting a cap I've ever seen.

By dsantilli

This is a great pen! I bought it on my third order and have used it extensively since then. It writes a nice, solid, smooth line that works on a variety of paper. I think I will keep this one around for a while and yes the top does post, it just makes the pen a bit top heavy.

By wao...

The matte black finish on this pen is what really attracted it to me. The ink writes a little wet, making the 0.5mm lines seem much thicker than they should be. Also, as stated in many other reviews before mine, the cap does post to the end of the pen. The problem that I have is because of this unique method, it causes the pen to become very long in hand. Tthe extra length doesn't make it too top heavy, but you can feel it. It's a great pen, but I prefer the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Cavalier Executive gel pen just a bit more.

May be the perfect pen - heavy, but balanced and not too thick, writes beautifully with no smudgy bit at the beginning like a ballpoint.

This pen writes very well. The line is a little thicker than my other 0.4mm, but it's still a very nice pen. The outside seems to pick up smudges somewhat easily.

Also, yes, you can put the cap on the back of the pen. You line the thin silver metal part into the groove of the back of the pen. It's not completely obvious that there's a thin gap between the metal and the black part of the back. Buuut it's there. :)

Line the cap up to post it people. It works just fine for me.

For the minimal investment in a quality writing tool, I would enthusiastically recommend this pen. The writing is very smooth and even ink flow add to the classic looks. I just purchased a second my first was dropped, ball down, onto a concrete floor. Again, love the function and the fashion.

Love the pen; hate the cap.

  The Ohto Ceramic Roller..., February 8, 2009

By 777

The Ohto Ceramic Roller Ball has a nice smooth feel on the paper and the ink is smooth and fine with no gaps or sputters in the line. The black body pen has a nice smooth matte satin finish and looks great with the chrome accents.

The one big drawback is the lack of a captive cap for this pen. The cap does not attach to the pen in any way so you have to set it aside. And being that the pen in round it will tend to roll if you set it down w/o the cap on a desk or table that is not truly level. If it were a captive cap pen then I would give it a 5, but I think this is a serious set back so I can't give it a 4. Let's say it's a 3.5.

By jason_bentz

Okay, the point about the cap not connecting to the back of the pen? It took me weeks to figure out, that the cap actually does sit on the back of the pen. It slides over the end of the silver part that is sticking out the back side, just just have to line it up!

By jason_bentz

I wondered how much I would like this pen. It's quality is very nice, as it should be for $20. Styling is minimal, and modern. It writes nice and smooth, much smoother than your typical ball point pens. It feels comfortable in your hand.

Only two minus points:
You have to line up the cap almost perfectly to get it back on the pen, because of the oval design (similar to the way it looks at the top). A round, even level end on the cap would have been nice, but I guess it wouldn't have matched the top and bottom of the pen.

Secondly, the cap does not sit on the back of the pen when in use. You just have to leave it disconnected.

Overall, it's a great pen, for $20.
