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

I have to admit, I don't use this pen with any regularity as they (I have 2) are usually relegated to my purse's pen bag. I therefore have not really noticed the rattling some of the other reviews have pointed out and I am not sure if it would be a deal breaker for me if I did notice.

This is a very cute needle point pen. As with some ballpoints, you'll see some minor ink blobs as you write, but to me that can add some character to whatever you'll be jotting down, so once again not a huge issue to me.

The single BEST thing about this pen, in all honesty, is the wonderful smell of the wooden barrel. SERIOUSLY. Just like the smell of a library book, this smell is instantly nostalgic and comforting. I would recommend it on that alone.

This pen writes fine, and the wooden barrel is unique, but like other reviewers have said, the clicker mechanism is loose. Also, the clip isn't secure, so it slides right off the pen. I just got mine and the clip has fallen off twice.

Truly disappointed at the quality of this pen. For the amount paid for this product, it is genuinely a let down. I was expecting a lot more. The body is made of wood, which was good. The problems start with the internals of the pen. The clicker is not smooth and not snug; it made rattling sounds. The pen rattles when I write which to me is low quality and bad workmanship. Don't waste your money!

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.
