Customer Reviews

A very thin metal and brittle. My pen broke off part of the thread.

I love this pen. It is beautifully balanced, writes smoothly (but not too smoothly) and is very pleasing to look at. I've owned it for over a year and it has held up beautifully.

I bought this pen and loved it! It writes very smoothly and is beautiful. However it has not held up well. First, the little rubber band that helps the cap stay put while you write broke. JetPens was AWESOME and replaced it for free, but now the replacement pen broke when I tried to unscrew it to place a refill. The metal on the pen broke where the threads are soldered.

I want to be sure to separate the excellent customer service at JetPens from the excellent pen I just received.
This has a very good shape and size for me and the roller ball is smoother than other roller pens I've owned.
Lovely color as well.

I choose this one because of the lovely design, very simple but effective.
It's arrived yesterday and I really adore it! It's mini size when it's closed and full size opened with the cap on the back. Just one thing.. the black ink is not really really black as I'm used to with china ink..

I couldn't find any reviews on this pen, but I bought it anyway just because it's so beautiful. I'm very pleased with it. The cap slides snugly onto the back end, making the pen full sized and well balanced. The ink is dark and it writes very smoothly. This one's a keeper!

The pen write beautifully, and although I originally thought myself to generally prefer the thicker body pens, I really enjoyed the thinner profile of this pen (I also own the Ohto Orca). That just goes to show you that you can't ever know for sure unless you try it out.

As I've already mentioned, I currently own two Ohto ceramic roller pens and they write fantastic. Although, the ink on the Tasche didnt last as long as I expected (although I do write pretty heavily every day).

Another thing that others might be interested in knowing is that the Pilot Precise V5 RT refill fits snugly inside this pen. I have since replaced the (mostly) dead ceramic roller refill with the Precise refill and have been using it, at least until I need to order a few more things from JetPens (oh, thou sinker of paychecks!) and get a chance to pick up a few refills. But if you are in a pinch and/or don't fancy paying $3+ dollar for a refill, know that you can also make due with a pilot refill from your local walmart.

One of the best pens I've ever bought in this price range. Love the way it writes, the aesthetics, everything. My specific pen arrived without the o-ring that keeps the cap on the end, but the scotch tape trick mentioned in a previous review works beautifully.

I purchased this awhile ago and didn't have much time to use it but now school started for me so I was able to use this often. I love the style of the pen and the weight and thickness of the pen is perfect for me. The ink is great and does run smoothly. The only problem is that it hasn't been long enough that I have to buy refills again.

The pen ink is what you'd expect from OHTO's ceramic roller, very smooth and flows very well. The colours and materials used gives the pen a very distinct and elegant feel, making you and your pen the target of envy. While pen retains its visual looks, it is slightly longer than the original Tasche bodies, also note that ceramic roller ink tube is not backwards compatible with the original Tasche Needle Point Pen body as the ceramic roller ink is just a tad bit longer.

A big complaint about the new Tasche bodies is how they are manufactured. Due to the simplification of the body and sole use of aluminum as the only materials make it very fragile and prone to cracks and dents. I received several of these new Tasche bodies to test, and found that the weakest part of the pen is the threading of the 2 halves of the body. I had one of the bodies crack in half where the threading is making the pen irreparable, although you can use the ceramic roller tube on its own =p. A way to preserve the life span of the body is to be gentle when recapping the cap on the body, make sure not to apply too much pressure to bend the pen body.

Love the way this pen writes. I never had a single problem with the roller-ball. However the metal cap did expand and no longer stayed on the end. So I took a piece of scotch tape and carefully wrapped a single layer of tape around the end and the cap has stayed on nicely ever since.

I'm about to order refills since this is my all-time favorite pen.

I bought the orange one second, after the blue, same model. This one has held up just as well. Every day use for many months. I've never had issues with the roller ball or ink. Not that the other reviewers are lying, but my experience has been different.

The pen is lightweight but when posted the weight is evenly distributed. I toss it in my purse or bookbag, so I don't have to baby it. It's drawn me away from fountain pens!

It's the right size for a purse or a pocket.
It also writes very smoothly.

Form vs Function?

This pen was bout as a gift for a friend based on a great first impression I got from my own Tasche (gold). It was arguably the smoothest writing pen I've ever had. Unfortunately, it stopped writing consistently. My ink flow stops often, and despite replacing the ball multiple times, i keep having bad experiences with it. It's left my pretty sad.

I only hope that the recipient had better luck.

Initially, i loved this pen. It was arguably the smoothest writing pen I've ever had. Unfortunately, it stopped writing consistently. My ink flow stops often, and desipite replacing the ball multiple times, i keep having bad experiences with it. It's left my pretty sad.

Beautifully machined pen, love the feel. Light weight yet nicely balanced! Highly recommended!

I love this pen. It's cute, and its the perfect size, but I've been having issues with the ball not working anymore. Neither of the refills I have have worked for more than a week. =( Very disappointing.

This is my new favorite pen on the Jetpens roster. I've been using it for 3 months now and I love the feel of the nib on the paper, I love the look of the pen which is beautiful and just as pictured. I hope to use this one for a long time.

Don't like it.
I bought it because it looks cool and the good comments.
It is not ergonomic nor comfortably heavy enough and has no cushion.

An extremely great pen. Writes very smooth, great finish, and a very stylish.

The main problem with me is that since Aluminum expands quite, the cap no longer sticks on the end of the pen.

I loved this pen, but then the little rubber o-ring at the end fell off somehow. Now the cap won't stay posted. Is there some way to fix this problem?

The pen writes beautifully, and is a pleasure to hold. It's a perfect purse pen. Now if I only could fix it...

Super cute and the brushed metal body is so elegant. Writes like a dream - sharp and smooth at the same time. Capped it's short so it doesn't take up space and is easy to carry around. I love this pen.
