Uni-ball Signo RT UM-138 Gel Ink Pen - 0.38 mm - Blue

This pen has the best "bright" blue color !

It's ink is not too dark, not too soft. Sarasa blue is too dark & Signo Light Blue is too pale for my eyes. This Uni-ball Signo RT Blue has the most beautiful blue color. I'm only using Signo RT Blue Black & this Blue for everyday use, for journaling, note taking, and drawing. Signo RT is the best pen... : )

These are my everyday, go-to pens. I ordered a box of them six months ago and have been using them in a primary role ever since. I use them primarily at work, where I'll take notes, sketch designs and diagrams, markup drawings, and make notes in small notebooks.

The gel ink flows smoothly and looks great in blue. This is the same as the rest of Uniball's Signo line, although it tends to smear less while drying due to the smaller line. I like the shape and texture of the grip and the minimalist style of the pen. It writes very well, and is extremely precise. Sometimes it can skip, but generally only when writing large and quickly. Since most of my writing is smaller and precise, this pen fits perfectly.

Smoothness: okay
Precision: okay
Weight: light
grip feeling: okay
cushion: solid

Overall: Okay. I personally prefer Pilot G-Knock Retractable Gel Ink Pen - 0.38 mm
for better grip and better nonslip feature of the cushion.

Feels great on paper. A little scratchy but perfect for jotting down very quick + short notes. I think it would make taking long notes really really slow so i would stick to the .5mm model which I love. either the UM-100 or the UM-151.

for a .3mm tip, it's scratchy but it's the least scratchy out of the other .3mm pens i've tried - including the hi tec c coleto. i would prefer this pen over the hi tec c. lines are nice, thin, clean and controlled.
