My absolute HOLY GRAIL..., October 16, 2011
This review is from Uni-ball Jetstream 4&1 4 Color 0.7 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen + 0.5 mm Pencil - Black Body
My absolute HOLY GRAIL of pens! After discovering the amazingness that is the
standard Jetstream, I decided to indulge my color-coding habit with the
Jetstream multipen. It was the single best decision I have made in my life as a
stationery addict. The pen body has a good solid weight to it, but isn't
unbearably heavy (some fountain pens come to mind), and holding it is pretty
comfortable, even if you have a super low grip like I do. It looks very sleek
and classy, and the color tabs are very subtle, which I particularly appreciate
in professional settings. (I like the Surari multi a lot, but the bright
plasticky tabs are reminiscent of the good old Bic 4-color pen.) The ink, as
you'd expect from a Jetstream, is smooth and pretty much flawless. I do find
that with the blue I get the occasional tiny glob, and the green is a shade too
light for my taste, but these are very minor quibbles indeed, and certainly
don't stop me from blowing through refills with terrifying speed. (I write a
LOT.) The pencil is not exactly a Kuru Toga, but it's perfectly serviceable -
luckily, I'm not really a pencil person and only use the pencil function for
doing paleography work and for drawing lines in my notebooks that will later be
erased. But this one pen got me through an entire degree, and is well on its way
to seeing me through another. I love it so much that I bought the green version,
and also a pink 0.5 version, but they just aren't quite as perfect as the
original black. Highly recommended!

Wow... I am blown away..., July 25, 2012
This review is from Uni-ball Jetstream 4&1 4 Color 0.7 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen + 0.5 mm Pencil - Black Body
Wow... I am blown away by this pen. It is nearly flawless in every aspect. I am
left-handed and I was all over the original Jetstream pens for their smooth
writing and no smudging and then got the original 3-colour Jetstream multi-pen
about a year ago. When I saw this high-grade multi pen+pencil, I had no choice
but to order it and try it for myself. Here is the verdict.
Pros
-at 0.7 mm, the Jetstream ink is amazingly smooth and the lines are crisp
-the ink pigments are very vibrant and concentrated
-the blue is a few shades darker than average, which I really like
-matte black finish with silver accents is very clean and professional looking
-barrel width and grip are perfect and suprisingly not too large for a
5-function pen
-the different colour tabs are subtle but still bright enough to switch between
colours easily
-the pen is very top-heavy, which lets you write smoothly without applying much
pressure
-the clicking/switching mechanism is very satisfying for people who like to
obsessively click while sitting and thinking
Cons
-the grip likes to attract dust particles, but a quick wipe with a damn cloth
will clean them
-the pencil is not world-class, but is good enough for general use. I will still
use my Uni-ball Kuru Toga if I need for strictly pencil usage, like doing math
equations.
-you might be scared to show it off to your friends and co-workers because they
might steal it
