Ohto Pieni Wooden Body Mini Needle-Point Ballpoint Pen - 0.5 mm - Brown Body

Wonderful pen. Small and slim, but the hexagonal body is easy to hold and use for general use. Seems to write a finer line than the 0.5 would lead you to believe, but it's smooth and I like it just fine. Brown color is deep and nice. Clip doesn't seem particularly heavy-duty, but the overall aesthetics more than make up for it.

I haven't had any problem with noise, and the size, comfort and writing ability of this pen are all quite fantastic. However, the wooden body ends up being a real strike against it. The pen feels cheap in the hand, and it easily picks up small nicks and dings. This is not the kind of pen I'm inclined to baby, and I'm skeptical of the lifespan of this one

I bought this pen because I enjoy using Ohto's other needle pens. While it writes exactly the same as the other pens, I had to subtract two stars because the plunger on the end is loose when the pen tip is out and makes a really, really irritating rattling noise when you write. I'm no pen connoisseur but this alone is enough to make me not want to use the pen on a regular basis. Such a shame, because it is an attractive pen that feels good in the hand.
