Pilot G-2 Gel Ink Pen - 0.5 mm - Blue

This pen is great. I like all of the Pilots. If you put them in your pocket though make sure you dont run with them in their pocket.They will leak though. Hey but they are great pens. Very smooth.Very good grip.

Pilot G-2 pen has a nice rubber grip. This is a quite comfortable pen to write for a long time. The ink flow tends to be on the free flowing side, and not scratchy. The beginning and ending of a pen stroke gets a darker shade of blue compares to the rest.

I don't know....as much as it is touted as America's #1 selling gel ink pen, I don't get the appeal. I find the 0.5mm version stingy in ink flow and also scratchy. Obviously most of America has not yet tried out the Japanese pens yet.

The 0.7mm does much better in terms of ink flow and smoothness, but it's also much thicker. The G-2's are just not meant for me.

This pen writes very well but stops working very quickly if it is used on low quality paper (because of the tiny wood chips in paper which get stuck between the ball). This problem is solved it you get a paper towel and dip it in alcohol and roll the ball. It writes like nothing did before but the problem is very, very annoying.

This pen writes as well as the other G-2's but the ink is much lighter than depicted in the picture so I'm only giving it a 3. In fact, I think the shade is too light to be practical for most uses.
