Zebra Expandz Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Black Body - Black Ink

This is my second Zebra Expandz and its only because the pen color (light blue) was suited more for my wife. The black is a bit more masculine. I enjoy carrying the Expandz clipped to my front pants pocket right next to my AA Cree flashlight. They are a perfect match for those of us who are minimalist EDC fanatics.

My preference of ink is blue. I did switch the original black ink which came with this pen over to blue ink. You might want to order a refill

If you like to streamline your typical everyday carry, this is the pen for you. The pen has a good "weight" to it and is not sloppy in it movement. You won't be disappointed. Go for it!

This is an excellent pocket pen. It feels sturdy and has some weight to it like a quality full-size pen. The sliding mechanism that extends the pen and exposes the tip works smoothly and can be operated with one hand when the situation calls for it. It uses Zebra's F type refills which are readily available in many stores. The ink is not as good as Zebra's Surari emulsion ink, but still better than your average ballpoint pen ink.

Wasn't quite as sturdy as I expected, but not a slouch either. The ink is where it loses a star. After writing with the Zebra surari ink, this just doesn't compare. If it had the emulsion ink, it would 5 *'s easily. The ink was reason enough for me to give it to my wife. I write very small and I need a crisp ink. This didn't fit the bill. Aside from that great pen with great slide action.
