Okay, I very rarely write reviews, but this pen prompted me to dust off the
creative writing intuition. Also, let's say I am a pen aficionado. I own Mont
Blanc, Cartier, Caran d'Ache, Pelikan, Underwood, Dunhill, Lamy, Cross, and an
assortment of other pens and pencils. The Ohto Tasche Needle Point Ballpoint pen
and the corresponding pencil are absolutely 100% phenomenal. I can't stand it
when a pen is too thick, has that annoying nib that sits right in the middle of
your index finger, isn't balanced, is too brittle or doesn't have quality
appointments, and the refills are horrible . . . just to name a few pet peeves.
I received this pen this afternoon, and it is quite frankly, OUTSTANDING (yes,
I'm Shouting!). It will take Parker Gel Refills, Itoya Needle Point Gel Refills,
and even Schmidt Capless rollerball refills. There are very few pens that can
boast this feature. Also, when you port the cap, the rubber O-Ring accepts it
and holds it in place nicely. The finish is excellent and the screw threads
remind me of precision machinery. Ohto thought the Tasche line through and
through.
Bravo Ohto. . .and Thank You Jet Pens for carrying this line. I'm sold.

i first tried this pen after spying my colleague's silver version. I was hooked
from first write! These pens look amazing, feel great in the hand, and the
needlepoint just seems to hover over the paper, the ink flowing out smoothly in
a fine, crisp line. A wonderful treat for the pen fiend!
