Very smooth and has good color but... it doesn't dry fast enough as my journal is full of smearing and smudges. The Uni-Ball Signo RT 0.38mm is my weapon of choice compared to this pen.

This pen is fantastic. The ink is waterproof on my sketchpad. It is a very fine point with no variation, and I use it to ink some drawings and to take fine notes.

By pegasus5

I bought this pen as a replacement for a dong-a black .38 pen for my journaling and so far it's been absolutely beautiful. Thick black lines, no scratching, no bleeding. If anyone else has suggestions for fine-tip gels for journalling, by all means, shout it out.

This pen isn't bad. But I bought it along with the Uni-ball Signo DX UM-151 Gel Ink Pen (also 0.38 mm), and I've found that one to be much better, so I don't think I'll be using this one much.

Unlike this one, the Uni-ball doesn't stop making a line if you tilt it to the side a bit, only to suddenly give a thick one when you press a little harder or tilt it back upright. This pen is a bit fickle, in comparison - it doesn't have a lot of in-between, it either makes a line or it doesn't.

I think that it should be a pretty good pen for writing, actually, but not for illustration (which is what I bought it for). But the Uni-ball is a better pen all-around, good for writing AND illustration and it's almost the same price... so I'd recommend getting it instead.

I like this pen very much, it is very nice to write with. One little thing though, don't buy too many at once, I had some pens become unusable because the tip dried out/got blocked after 1 year.

By Second_part_alto_sax

These pens are very very nice, but sadly they are not friendly for lefties, which I'm sure is a problem with most gel ink pens. Over all, I recommend you get this pen if you don't put your hand over your writing.

By pixeepoet

I love these pens! I was never a fan of the G2 .5mm for some reason they are very inky, but the .38mm pens are perfect. The write smooth, and the ink flow is perfect. I did have one pen that skipped but it was never enough to bother me or throw away.

By mario.rosales

I have to agree, once you use .4 mm or below in the moleskine notebooks, the .5mm is just too big. I have used the .5 G2's that you can get in the US stores, but I since I found JetPens, there is no sense in using another pen than the Pilot pens from Japan. They are way better quality and precision than anything sold by Pilot US. Thanks, JetPens!!!

Nice dark ink with smooth flow. I love writing with this pen.

By gweedo

Comfortable, fine writing, rich black ink. I loved the standard G-2 that are moderately easy to find (which are .5mm). These have a finer tip and don't lay on the ink quite so heavy. Now that I have used these in my Mole Skine, I can't use the .5mm any longer. I use the Hi-tecC .4mm as well, but the G2 .38mm tend to be my every day pen as they have a retractable tip, and work great.
