PILOT VBall Liquid Ink Rolling Ball Stick Pens, Extra Fine Point, Black Ink, 12-Pack (35200)

I love writing with this pen. When you start using a new one, it may take a few lines of writing to get the ink flowing, but then it starts immediately after that. The ink flows smoothly, and you get a steady dark line with a smooth, light stroke of the pen. Another thing I like about this pen--something I havent seen others mention--is the clip that holds it in your shirt pocket. Its firm enough that the pen wont slide around or fall out of your pocket, but its also flexible enough that you can easily position the clip on your pocket. And the clip is attractive too. Its odd to me how very few pens have a good clip like this! I guess people take it for granted, but I have many pens that write well, but the clip is unacceptable for shirt-pocket use, which is my normal way of working in an office environment. I think this is my favorite pen!

My wife and I have both been using these pens for a couple of years. They are the best ball-points we have ever used. Couldnt live without them.

My mother used VBall pens at work for decades and will not tolerate using a common ball point pen, since they have have horrible tendency to stop writing when you need them most. She was excited to receive these!

Grateful they can still be ordered, despite not generally being available in stores.

I have used these pens EXCLUSIVELY for journaling, work, letter-writing, and anything inbetween since 2006. I cannot emphasize enough how much these pens are essential to my life and happiness. Overstatement? I think not.

What you see is what you receive. Mercifully unchanged from my previous batch but for the larger letters printed on the barrel. I avoided the cheaper style with the plastic clip, because I believe that a plastic clip is too brittle to bend repeatedly compared to a metal clip. Outstanding ink flow with minimal pressure. Top quality tip construction: precise and consistent. Not available in my city, so thank you Amazon.

I love these pens. They write smooth, and do not leak all over my hand like the last purple pen I was using. And I cant believe how long the ink lasts. I bought these for work, and I use my pen quite a bit during the day, and Im still using the same pen since November. Great buy.

These are beautiful pens that make me want to write and write. Just be careful taking them on a plane, the altitude makes them leak. Otherwise, these are all I write with. Perfect for addressing Christmas cards, invitations, etc - when you want beautiful calligraphic handwriting.

Once you use these pens, youll never use anything else. They are a pleasure to write with because the ink flows effortlessly onto the page and requires only the lightest grip. They do have one quirk: when you take them on an airplane, the changes in air-pressure eventually cause the pens to leak. Nevertheless, I like these pens so much for their smooth writing quality that I am willing to deal with this.

Great pen for super fine-tip writing and drawing. Very controlled and a pleasure to use.
