Pentel Vicuna Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Sky Blue Body - Black Ink

Wow! For an inexpensive pen that is also a ballpoint this one writes great! I think I may have to order a few more colors to keep it company. If you are looking for an everyday pen that might grow legs and walk off this is the one to use.

This pen writes very boldly and smoothly, but it globs too easily. Also, when I use it to write notes on adding machine tape, the ink bleeds a little bit, so that the ink becomes slightly "blurred" after a day. On regular paper it doesn't do that, though. I prefer the Pilot Acroball; it's almost as bold, writes even more smoothly, and doesn't glob.

The body is nothing special, neither bad nor good. However the ink is a winner. It's the smoothest "ballpoint" I've ever used. Writes as consistently and smoothly as a gel ink pen. Thin crisp lines, no smudging or smearing. I'm totally sold.

I have to agree that the body isn't anything special. The color is nice, but nothing to write home about. The ink, however, is rather lovely. The black ink is dark like a gel and doesn't smear. I work as a nurse, so not smearing matters. I've gotten more than one coveting look after they tried it and found how smooth it writes and how nice the ink was. Most assuredly a keeper!

Wow! This is a ballpoint pen? It writes so smoothly, you wouldn't believe it! I have never had a ballpoint pen that writes so smoothly. I didn't have an issue with any smudging of ink, either. I highly recommend this pen--you will be pleasantly surprised. The design of the pen itself is not too sleek, but for the price and the amazing way it writes, I could care less how it looks.
