Zebra Espina Pearly Rubber Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Grip - Blue Ink

I had bought this pen when i was in japan a few years ago and love the thin point. its definitely a must when writing Chinese words. I was looking for refills in the US but i couldn't find any for the longest time until i had the bright idea of searching the net. thanks for selling these!

This pen became my most favorite pen ever. At first I wasn't crazy about the soft rubber but it gripped so well. And, the fine tip writes perfectly suited to my writing style.

It's funny how such a little thing can make a big difference.

At first I was skeptical because I prefer heavier pens. However, I was quickly convinced this pen is a keeper. Unlike other reviewers, I found it wrote smooth; the ink never skips. The pen's shaft is a futuristic, somewhat sticky texture, and easy to hold. The clip is sturdy but is only moderately stylish when on a shirt pocket. The pen is a pleasure to twirl and has become my standard household ballpoint pen. The "black" grip is actually an attractive shade of dark grey; I gravitate to this colour as I find Zebra's other Espina offerings too overtly feminine for my taste. While it took me a few weeks to get used to the lighter weight, those who regularly use pens in the 0.50oz range should really enjoy this one.

Nothing specail about this pen, its pretty good when writting, sometimes it gets annyoing because of the thicknes, but its ok.

Nothing particularly special about this pen. It looks good but is not smooth to write with unfortunately :-/
