Pilot Hi-Tec-C Slim Knock Gel Ink Pen - 0.3 mm - Black

This is the worst pen I have ever used in my life. It is worse than BIC pens even. The ink does not flow well at all. It often skips. Additionally, it is very, very scratchy. Maybe the 0.4mm is better, but I am not willing to take a chance.

The ink does not flow smoothly at all

When i first got this pen, i was highly disappointed; the pen was scratchy and the tip felt as though it would not last against my notebook paper no matter how softly i tried to write. However, i bought a new notebook with smoother, nicer paper and i don't like to write with anything else! it writes thin but there's no scratching and i no longer feel as though it's going to break when i use it. i do love this pen, but i don't feel it's appropriate for regular notebook or loose leaf paper.

It is a good pen. Not the best but certainly not the worst. Comfortable to use but the ink flow is not as smooth as I prefer.

I like the form factor since I have relatively small hands, but I would suggest the .4 over these. The pen does make fine lines but the writing experience is really "scratchy" and not smooth like I am used to with Pilot gel pens.

In comparison, the Signo Bit .18 is much finer but writes much "smoother" than this pen. Go with the .4 for a smoother writing experience.
