Rotring Tikky Liner Gel Ink Pen - 0.3 mm - Black Ink

Man, what a disappointment :/ The body of this pen is beautiful and brilliantly made. However, the ink is very bad. when I first got it, it wrote well but it was scratchy and after about 3 days of writing with it, I always have to scribble it at least 3 minutes every time for it to even work. After about 3 week, the ink flow just stopped completely. I agree, don't waste your money.

I agree with the other reviewer - the pen housing, ergonomics, etc are great. But writing with this pen is a huge disappointment. It skips and scratches no matter how often I use it. I can't rely on it to grab and take a quick note. A shame considering it's cost. And, no color besides black ink?? There are much better writing instruments for a lot less, don't waste your money on this one.

A beautiful looking pen that feels very nice in your hand. Unfortunately, it does not write well, very poor ink flow and takes many scribbles before you can write with confidence that it won't skip. Save your money - don't waste in on a pen that you can't trust to write.

I'm deeply disappointed. I've been using Rontring pens most of my life, that is more than 50 years. This christmas I bought a number, I think 5 Rotring Tikky Liner Gel Ink Pens for myself and my sons. We all experienced, that the pen somehow "dry out2 after use, and is unale to produce a continous black line efter some hours rest. You can then use the pen and "warm it up" scribling for some minutes, and then it will work allright. But I never had thought that this glorious brand, in my mind always associated to precision and perfection would have such a flaw. Why is it so?

The tikky fine liner . 7 writes like a dream. It feels nice in the hand and is perfectly balanced with the cap posted. The only thing that I don't like, is the gripping section. I was anticipating that it'd be soft and pliable from the description, it is not, it's a hard, molded,textured plastic. Not bad, but again not what I expected. The pen looks to cost twice as much as i paid for it, which is a plus. That being said, i don't know why rOtring went with print,which will wear off, instead of laser engraving on the barrel, like a sharpie stainless marker. It would've upped the wow factor of this pen. I've read the other comments about it not writing, this wasn't my case. Perhaps rOtring refined the ink, or maybe it's the .5 and below. I'll order some of those refills when my .7 runs out to be certain.
