Uni-ball Jetstream Standard Ballpoint Pen - 0.5 mm - Black Ink - Apricot Body

Just as I stated in one of my earlier reviews, I also bought one of these (Sky Blue body) at Maido Stationary in San Francisco's Japan Town while I was visiting home this Christmas. At the store they allow you to write on some paper and test out the pen before you purchase and I was in LOOOOOVEEE! So smooth and it writes so thin. I love using this pen for my holiday cards I send to people and the letters I use to write my penpals. Just ordered this pen in Apricot Orange and Lavender. This is the pen that directed me to this website when I realized I needed more than one.

I was hoping to fall in love with this pen, like so many others have before me. I love the flow and look of gel pens (for a long time, I would only use the Pilot G7 ones) but ultimately, I left it for the comfortable smoothness of ballpoints (regular ol' BIC disposable ones). So when I heard about the Jetstream, essentially the best of both worlds, I immediately wanted a few for myself.

I typically like very fine points, but now I realize that it comes with a price. While 0.5mm seems pretty standard, it just feels too scratchy to write on anything less than very quality paper. I love the body of the 0.5mm Jetstreams though, so I'll probably just order 0.7mm refills and use the same body. It's a very cute color and the color on screen seems fairly accurate to me. I ended up reverting back to my BIC ones, but am currently using the 0.7mm refills in my multi-pen, and they are GREAT. So much smoother and it is exactly what I wanted the 0.5mm to be. While I feel like I can be a little bit more sloppy with a 0.7mm tip, it sure beats the previous skipping and scratching of the 0.5mm.

This pen is wonderful. It was so nice to find a ballpoint pen with a 0.5mm tip. The grip at the end is comfortable for my fingers, the pen writes smoothly, the ink doesn't blob or smear, and the lines are as fine as I could hope for. I got my order quickly too. Thank you Uni-ball for making the pen that I needed and thank you JetPens for having it!

This pen is great! It writes SO smoothly, and has a nice fine (.5 mm) point. The apricot color is very cute, too. This will be the only pen I use from now on! (Hope I don't lose it)

This pen is fanastic. The color of the ink is wonderful, but the smoothness is just perfect. I really enjoy writing when I use this pen, and I have had no problems with skipping or catching. Wonderful pen, I plan on getting more colors!
