Uni Pin Pen - 02 Pigment Ink - 0.33 mm - Black Ink

I love these pens, they are amazing! The tip isn't scratchy, the felt tip is just really smooth and the ink is definitely high quality. At the price they come at, I have made this my go to pen. Maybe it's because I'm an engineer, but I just love this pen and the nice fine, dark lines. :)

The Uni Pin line, being a technical pen and all, is on par with the Microns that my fellow Architecture students use. I didn't actually get my Uni Pin from this site, instead while shopping at a stationery store in Hong Kong a few years back. Needless to say, I wished I bought in bulk when I had the chance.

Pros:
Uniform line width, solid color
Useful steel guide pipe
Acrylic window on the cap is a nice touch, although it does get dirty
Loved the sleek, matte black finish and no-nonsense livery
Cheaper than the Micron line

Cons:
Tip is fragile; mine bent a bit, then retracted into the housing after significant use (around a year)
Labels may not be aligned perfectly with pen body - but hardly a concern

All in all, a great product. The logo on the pen changed slightly from my three-year old copy, but I'd still love to buy some.

This is a perfect pen for both sketching and writing that equals if not exceeds the quality of the micron pens. I like that pin pen seems to grip the page when you put the pen to paper. A very highly recommended pen.

In addition to being a great pen with a nice tip, the cap fit is very snug. Why do I consider this a feature? The pen ended up in the wash. I don't know how I forgot it, but I did. When I realized what I'd done, I went to the basement expecting to find a bunch of clothing with nasty black stains. Instead of ruining a whole load of laundry, the cap was still snugly attached. The spin of the washer and dryer had pulled extra ink out of the tip, which had pooled in the cap, but the cap had not leaked or flooded and my clothes were not ruined. As a bonus, the pen still worked after I'd cleaned out the cap. I will forever love this line of pens for saving me from my own absentmindedness. Unfortunately, someone at the office ganked it a week later.

I love this pen. Great flow, nice tip - for a felt pen fairly durable - and the ink is super black and stays put under a watercolour wash. It also does not rub off onto the page on the other side of the spread, unlike the copic ones I've used. It rubs off a little if you erase aggressively, but 99% of it is still there.
