Pilot Hi-Tec-C Gel Ink Pen - 0.4 mm - Yawaragi Colors - Usuzumi (Light Sumi Gray)

A Pilot Hi-Tec-C, therefore a great pen. But personally I prefer conical point pens. Doesn't have an anti sliding rubber, so it is a bit tiring to write with it.

The color is kind of washed out, I'm not sure if that is the desired effect of the Yawaragi colors.

I love the Hi-Tec C pens, and this color is interesting because it looks almost like graphite on paper - the color is similar to mechanical pencil line.

That being said, it seems less smooth than the standard black or blue, and maybe because of the lighter shade, it also feels like a thinner line. Compared to the .4mm blue, this pen writes more like a .3mm.

These are actually the best pens I have ever used. No doubt. A few months ago, I bought a 12 set of the Pilot Frixxion pens, and I thought those were amazing, because they erased, but after time, if you don't use the actual box they give you, dirt and other sediment sticks to the rubber, leaving a messy eraser mark when you erase. Then, I saw that one of my friends had a hi-tec-c pen. but it was .3 and I wrote with it, and wasn't too pleased. I felt that the tip was too thin. At first I hesitated when I clicked add to cart for this set, but I trusted the brand, the reviews, and JetPens. Two days later, during the snow storm in my area, the pens come. I immediately try them, and I fell in love. I strongly recommend these pens. Although they do not erase, they write like a pencil, except instead lead coming out, you have great solid colors

This is the best pen I have ever used! They have a nice thin tip that I love because I write small, and they don't break off when I press down on them! I bought all colors to use when I'm taking notes, and three years later I still love them(although now I need to buy new ones). They also write super smooth!!

If you are looking for the equivalent(and probably even better version) of the High tech C try the Uni-Ball Signo DX 0.28mm or the zebra sarasa 0.3 mm. Both are absolutely fantastic pens in all respects, and are even better because they're cheaper than the high tech c. Both also come with a grip and do not have a fragile needle point like the high tech c.
