This pen is excellent! I'm a designer and was looking for a bolder pen for rapid sketching and writing neatly on stickies. I wouldn't call it a "fine" line though; it makes a line that's just a bit thinner than a Sharpie's. But unlike a Sharpie, it doesn't bleed through paper and it doesn't smell like you're going to get high from using it!

I use it on the Mnemosyne notebooks, which are in-between matte and glossy, and I don't have any of the issues described by the other reviewer.

I'm looking forward to trying their "very fine" version of the pen and seeing if it's equally useful.

For the most part, I like the appearance of this pen. Shiny gold and charcoal black always make a great pair. What I don't This pen makes a rich, dark line, but it's not what I would consider a "fine" line. It's more of a medium width to my eyes. Also, it doesn't mark on glossy or even semi-glossy surfaces without smearing all over the place. I assumed that this pen would work well on many surfaces because its called the "pigment sign pen," but really, it probably shouldn't be used to sign yearbooks and stuff.

This may be my new favorite. For years, I used the PMOP 860 (AKA original Flair), and was quite unhappy when they were discontinued in the US - I even went as far as ordering them from Europe. I have tried every "similar" felt tip I can find to replace my old favorite, and this pen is the closest I've found as far as the nib and the feel of it, plus the barrel design is actually a bit better. I've already asked my office manager to order these in bulk for us.

This pen was smooth.

This is a great pen with a porous tip. You can use it to get a thin and then thick line by pressing harder which I love because I use it to sketch with. Love the fact that it's permanent and can be used with watercolor. Great to doodle and draw with and I would be great for note taking. A wonderful all around pen with a nice line weight.

WOW!
I love jetpens - and order frequently to try different pens. This one really stood out! It is great for writing and drawing... and even after several pages of writing, shows no wear. I hate it when a pen skips... and this one has a durable, consistent line. It remains comfortable, requires no pressure and has good ink flow. It also doesn't show through on the backside of the page - which means that it's great for journaling. It also is smear-proof. Really like it... and expected something so great to be more expensive.

Excellent little pen!

I have been avidly searching for a porous tipped pen similar to one I lifted from my grandma's house years ago and this one definitely fits the bill.

Superb line, very black, and super affordable!

This pen has zero bleed through, no squeakiness, and much smoother than say, a Paper Mate Flair. (A pen I feel most US shoppers will be familiar with in this same porous tipped category.)

I'll probably throw in at least 1 or 2 of these into future orders as they are a great buy for the money!

This is an outstanding porous point pen. It has none of the squeakiness of a felt-tip pen, and lays down a crisp black line with little or no feathering (that I noticed). The size is between 0.3 and 0.5mm de lending on how much pressure is applied. This is the pen I've started to carry around with me. I love this pen!
