Ohto Pieni Stripe Needle-Point Ballpoint Pen - 0.3 mm - Black Body

An update from three weeks later: the more I use it the more I like it. It is writing smoother on regular paper, leaves no globs, and is a still a nice small pen in my hand. I am on the JetPens site specifically to order another one in case I leave this one somewhere!

This pen is a nice petite body style to fit in my purse or pen case, but it has a tendency to be scratchy. It writes much more smoothly on my Kokuyo Campus Todai and Campus MIO papers than on regular American paper. So for those of you who write primarily on beautiful smooth papers this pen will work just fine--for those who don't you might have trouble with it cutting out. Another new pen I got this week was the Pilot Acroball Smooth Writing Ballpoint .5mm. It has the styling of a regular ballpoint pen (not like the metal of the Pieni) and the .5 tip is noticeably bigger--but it writes beautifully on any paper and is still quite nice for those who like thin lines.
