PILOTThe Better Ball Point Pen Refillable Ball Point Stick Pens, Fine Point, Black Ink, 12-Pack (35011)

I’ve been looking for these singularly for years as they were once sold in supermarkets (oddly enough) and only offered in packages at office supply stores. Missing their luxurious lines and smoothness on paper of (almost) any sort, I broke down and bought a box and it’s gonna be WORTH IT! I’m already writing to friends and offering a few out to cronies and others with a yen for stationery ephemera and a liking of unique pens.Smooth, dark, and clean lines are the signature but they’re also long lasting and incredibly dependable. They are long and an enjoyable writing tool that will offer years of use. Totally worth the price!

Just your average, good classic pen. I am not looking for any kind of special size or color, just a good pen that I can use for every day writing tastes. They fit in my hand well. They write well and perform consistently. The ink dries fairly quickly for the lefties (no more ink smudges on your pinky). I'm happy with them.

Great ball pen! Love it. Easy on my hands.

Great everyday writing pen. Smooth and lightweight.

Must have pens! These are the only pens that make my handwriting beautiful. I cannot live without them.

Have used these pens for over 30 years. They just work especially for a fine point.

We've been using these fine point Pilot pens since the 1980's and they are (most gratefully!!) still a true fine point. They last until the ink runs out without skipping or glopping ink as you wrote. The best!

I love Pilot brand pens of all types and sizes. This one is really just an ordinary ballpoint pen but I like the ink they use. The pen is longer in length than what I'm used to using but since I have bigger hands I typically like the writing instrument to be longer anyway. The medium point works on contact and I never have to scribble it around to get it to "work". I just bought the black ink so I can only say that the ink is smooth on all types of paper and permanent from what I can tell so far. I believe it works best on softer paper such as newsprint. This is probably true of most ballpoint pens. There is really no smell to the ink on the paper. The cap fits tightly on both ends and not likely to fall off. There are small grooves at the writing end of the pen that help with grip but honestly I would rather have a rubber grip like you see on Pilot's "Easytouch" line of pens. I think if they started making these pens with that grip then I would probably have gave it 5/5 stars.
