 A new fave for a consumate pen collectorJul 21, 2008
By Ember
"Poker of Finger"
I confess that I am a long-time Office Supply Geek. Every year around August/September I go to Staples and rummage through all their new organizational tools, post it notes, circa/rollabinders, journals and PENS.
I am very picky about the type of pen I use as I am a ferocious journal writer. So far the ones who have made the cut are the Pilot Priemere 207; Pilot G2 and G6 Gel pens; Liquid Expresso; Lamy Fountain Pen.
Personally, I love what I call the "engineer nibs" -- they stick out away from the pen on a small pin-like structure. Unfortunately, my longtime love with the Liquid Expresso nib has waned due to the fact it's writing performance appears to have changed: thicker lines, bleeds a tad. I even tried the Pilot Razor Extra Fine Point and it ended up depositing more ink and giving me fuzzy lines MORE SO than the Expresso Fine Point.
Then on my latest trip to Staples, I discovered Sharpie made their first pen. No bleed-through. No blotting. No fuzziness. And they aren't lying. The lines are smooth and with a slight edge to your handwriting which gives it a hint of calligraphy styling.
They are available in packages of 4 with versions of black ink; blue ink; or multi-colored (black, blue, green, red). I must say, Amazon's price for the 4 multi-colored at close to $20 is a surprise. Staples had it for $12, with the black or blue set for $6.
I highly recommend this pen for serious writers and those who simply love to dabble in journaling.

 It's A Marker, Love It Or Hate ItJan 07, 2012
By Brandon Curtis
"Engineering PhD Student"
I conducted a Great Pen Review a few months ago, in which I purchased a 12-pack of the following 0.5mm pens and distributed them to friends and family for evaluation:
Pilot Precise V5 Stick Rolling Ball Pen, Micro Point, 0.5 mm, Black Barrel/Ink (35334), 12-Count
Pentel EnerGel Liquid Gel Pen, Fine Needle Tip, Blue Barrel, Black Ink, Box of 12 (BLN15-A)
Pilot G2 Retractable Gel Ink Roller Ball Pen, Extra Fine Point, Clear Barrel, Black Ink, 12-Count (31002)
uni-ball 207 Retractable Micro Point Gel Pens, 12 Black Ink Pens(61255)
Sharpie Pen Fine Point Pen, 12 Black Pens (1742663)
The overall favorites were definitely the V5 and the EnerGel. The EnerGel was generally preferred by those who liked a higher ink flowrate, while the V5 was preferred by those who liked a lower flowrate. First impressions of the Uniball 207 were quite good, but occasionally these pens drew the ire of my reviewers when they stopped writing seemingly randomly with large volumes of ink still remaining. The Pilot G2 was scratchy and terrible all-around; this appears to be a problem with the 0.5mm tip size, as I have heard great things about the G2 0.7mm.
The Sharpie pen, while better than expected, feels like a marker (because it is) and doesn't seem to have very broad street appeal. When first encountering this pen, many reviewers wrote a few letters, stopped, and examined the pen closely in an effort to figure out what the heck I had just handed them. While some reviewers warmed to the marker-y, sometimes squeaky writing characteristics of this pen after taking it home and writing with it for a few months, others absolutely hated it and refused to use it again.
That being said, this is a highly unique pen and definitely the highest-performance marker pen I have come across. Ink delivery is much steadier than you might expect from a marker, and I never encountered problems with the pen 'going dry' or expiring with ink remaining, like I did with the G2 0.5mm and occasionally the 207's.
If you like the feel of writing with a marker, you'll likely write this pen. If not... check out the Pilot Precise V5s and the Pentel EnerGels instead.

My Fiancée's New Favorite PenDec 13, 2010
By L. L. M. Sanchez
My fiancée is a writer and he has a lot of journals (Moleskine and the like) that he jots his notes in. He's a bit of a pen snob so he's tried a lot of pens over the years. His criteria: needs a fine point, no bleeding, and no smearing.
He even tried writing with a set of expensive fine art pens until I told him that it was a waste of money and totally sacrilegious. I confiscated those pens (I'm the artist of the family, he's the writer so they should have gone to me anyway) and the search continued.
He seems really happy with these pens since they don't bleed through his paper and they don't smear. I like most ink pens myself (Pilot is good enough for me) but he seems convinced that most of them have a smearing issue. As is, these are the only ones he agreed to put on his Christmas wish list.
I find that they make a good doodle pen as well. I've been known to steal them off his desk and hide them in my art drawers...which is probably why he constantly needs to restock.

 A BIG disappointmentDec 14, 2010
By KenMcD
I bought the 12 pack of the Sharpie Pen with the Fine point. I have used many Sharpie products and was always pleased with their performance. On the box it states: "Results may vary based on paper characteristics". At first the pens write well on many paper surfaces with a clean consistent ink flow. But of the 4 pens I have used so far, they start skipping with inconsistent ink flow and the tips start to flatten out to produce broader lines. This happens on many paper types and I have also been careful to not press hard to avoid damaging the pen tip.
I do not recommend these pens and it would be a bother to return them to Sharpie for replacement. I'll find an other pen to use in the future.

The only pen I'll use!Feb 28, 2011
By J. Powell
These are wonderful pens. I have atrocious handwriting characterized by uneven strokes and pressure -- these help it be more legible due to the sheer smoothness and darkness of the ink, even with uneven amounts of pressure applied. They don't bleed through standard computer paper, although you won't be able to use both sides of college ruled notebook paper as the ink is dark enough to clearly show through on the other side of the paper.
