"What flows from the heart goes to the heart." From the heart of Zebra to the hearts of all its faithful customers, Zebra's original F-301 stainless steel retractable pen has touched millions of people; and the papers they have written with it.

An excellent pen, the Hi-tecpoint system is wonderful, being fine, smooth and not leaking copious amounts of ink. The only and biggest drawback (it's quite a big one) is in the grip and barrel design.

I purchased this pen on clearance at K-Mart and I'm very pleased with it. It writes very dark and smooth, and is refillable with a standard Bic Gel refill.

I have wanted a multi pen of a good quality for a long time. I had seen Lamy multi pens in the past, but other than the Logo (which this review is covering) and the Lamy 2000 4-colour multi pen, none of them grabbed me.

I recently bought a Namiki Vanishing Point Fountain Pen, for using at University, because although I own many traditional fountain pens, I didn't have a retractable.

Nowadays, it seems that any manufacturer will eagerly slap on the word “tactical” onto anything. However, the Frontline series tactical pens from Tuff-Writer truly fall into the “tactical” realm. Because the pen is designed to be a tactical self-defense pen, this review will reflect that.

This pen functions exactly as the Precise V5, only now with a snazzier barrel, a rubber grip, and a retractable cartridge, so now you can use it on the go.

Zebra has a fairly good reputation when it comes to pens, and the F-701 is no exception. The pen has a good heft, and is balanced so that the center of gravity is towards the front. The knurled grip is VERY effective, and would be suitable for writing with for long time periods, or for people who's hands perspire easily. The click mechanism is not as smooth as it could be, and does not make a very positive "click". I find that sometimes, the clicker will actually malfunction (I might have just gotten a lemon). Made in Japan, the build quality is excellent.

I received the Mont Blanc Meisterstück Classique as a gift 10 years ago. Since it's such a pricey pen I assumed it would be worlds better than my favorite $2 pen from Staples. After many years of using it, I'm still partial to the disposable gel ink pens. This pen is really lovely, but it is so heavy that my hands hurt after writing with it for very long. Perhaps, it would be fine for a man, since men have larger, stronger hands, but this is not a great pen for a woman. I have been through several refills and I'm still disappointed with the inconsistency of the ink flow. It gets gummed up on the rollerball and you have to have something handy at all times to wipe the ball of goop off the tip.

The Jetstream from Uni-ball is one of the best overall rollerballs I have found. With its comfortable and attractive design in black(for 1.0mm) and blue(0.7mm), and the tungsten carbide rolling ball which ensures brilliantly smooth writability, it is a must have. The only fault I can find is the occasional inconsistency of ink flow. Although this can be irritating I stopped noticing it not long after becoming accustom to it.
