Zebra Sarasa Push Clip Gel Ink Pen - Metallic Colors - 1.0 mm - Shiny Blue

This is the best pen I have ever used. I have looked at many other fine tip pens -- gel ink, ballpoint, etc.... I\'ve the .28 Uniball, .25 Slicci, the Hi-Tec C, and none of them have been able to write as smoothly or consistently as this has. It does not blotch; it gives a consistent and even line. Not only is it good for extended writing, but it\'s also been excellent for underlining in books and editing in papers and such. I would recommend this pen far above any others. And the best part is that it\'s a meager $ for a new pen. I\'ve spent that on refills for pens I like less. Do yourself a favor and buy 3 or 4 of these pens and a few different colors -- if you like fine tip pens for clean, precise writing, then you will love this.

At long last, I have found the perfect pen. Writes smoothly but still "grips" the page, great clip, solid and durable grip. I can't tell if it goes through ink quickly or whether I'm just using this pen more than all of my others, but refills at $1.20 (80¢ less than the pen itself) is worth it, in my opinion. A wonderful, wonderful pen that's a joy to use.

After trying out a slew of pens for my pocketmod and also a moleskin large notebook (grid paper ruled) I found this pen at 0.4 size to be the best at small detail, smooth ink flow (small scratchiness I don't mind), least bleed through moleskine grid paper. It's the most balanced pen and best compromise for most of my uses, I will exclusively use it from now, except for the zebra-Clip-On-multipen which is great for all the colors but ink runs out way too quickly.

I Compared this pen with Zebra Clip Sarasa 0.3, 0.5 and I found 0.4 the best. Signio 207 0.5, and 0.38 were good but either too small and scratchy (0.38) of ink flow a little more than the paper could handle (0.5) leading to some smudging and less clean lines. Pilot G-2 0.5 and 0.38 were GOOD, but not as clean and nice on moleskine graph paper as the Zebra Clip Sarasa 0.4 which after comparing everything side by side was the best I could come up with. I also like the quality and feel of the clip (with a true joint pivot point as opposed to single plastic piece clip as in the G-2) and clicker was nice to click on and off when lost in thought :)

Cons for this pen: is that this pen doesn't have a RED cartridge and its not free.

Loved this pen so much, I bought refills for it. It's great. I find the clip a bit pointless since I store it in a pouch with my other pen(cil)s, but the grip is great and not to squishy, and the pen is nice and sturdy. Great for my notes.

Excellent pen. I just bought mine at the Mitsuwa marketplace here in San Diego (a little bit cheaper in person at the local store, but still a good pen at any price). I love the clean, dark line this pen creates, and the smoothness is unparalleled by any of its contemporaries for a pen of this price.

All in all, I would strongly recommend this as your first choice if you are looking for something nice to use as an everyday writer. Excellent pen!!
