PentelArts Hybrid Technica 0.5 mm Pen, Extra Fine Point, Black Ink, Box of 12 (KN105-A)

Needed a super fine small point pen for a 3x5 index card. My professor allowed us to fill it front and back with as many notes that it could fit. And let me tell you this pen did the trick. Wrote super small and smooth across the index card. See for yourself 🙂

These are great pens!! They look like cheap stick pens but they aren't. Anyone who writes a lot, knows that the "acid" test of any pen is HOW DOES IT WRITE. The best looking pen is junk when it doesn't perform. These do the job and are not stolen because of their looks. I used to be a Pilot retractable fan but after having several leak in my shirt pocket, I began looking for a pen that has a cap and faces tip up while in my pocket. Since I like a very fine tip (.25-.3 mm), I tried Pilot's model--a real disaster--half the pens in the box would barely write when new and would stop writing completely for no apparent reason. Also if your paper isn't in pristine condition, they skip a bunch. I then tried Pentel "Slicci" (.25 MM). It's an excellent pen but the barrel is built for very small hands (not a guys). The Pentel Technica (.3 mm) is the perfect match. It writes tiny, has an adult sized barrel, and continues to write under just about all circumstances. Make sure to cap the tip when you"re done writing. With care, they'll serve you long and well!!! Guard them well because "pen thieves" will take them once they've borrowed yours.

Pentel's 5 pack is for experimentation when you are finding what works best for your work flow in concept design drawing.These are specifically for drawing, not writing. Keep the lightest touch on them as possible, they are delicate. They are art-pens, and labeled that way. As so they are rivals to the most popular concept design pens: the Pilot Hi (G)-Tec-C drawing pens. I use both brands. But not all line widths. The best for me are the Pentel 0.3 and 0.6, and the Pilot 0.25 and 0.4 mm. The Pentel 0.8 mm is the most fun because it's dark, thick and great thus for fore-grounds. But because the ink reservoir is no larger than the other four Pentel tip sizes in this "sampler pack", the 0.8 mm does not last long enough for me (than, say, the 0.3 mm lasts "forever"). The 0.8 mm fun should last longer, but it doesn't.So, I use other pens with larger ink capacities for dark, thick lines (TWSBI Eco-T in B and 1.1 mm and Pentel's full-sized waterproof brush pen FP5M.)But be aware they all need to fully dry.All of these pens have some waterproofness on some papers and always are Copic-proof inks, when dry.The main reason I use these two Hybrid ink pen brands, Pentel and Pilot, is that after 24 hours on my thin (for over-under-lays) alcohol marker paper (polymer backed), . . . they are all Copic alcohol marker proof and waterproof, -- no smudging. The inks are ready for gradual value overlays (say, cold grays C-0 sequentially up to C-8) without smudging from Copic or watercolors. My India ink pens, for instance, smudge no matter how "dry" they are with Copic overlay. The the drawing then scanned into a photo or 3-D computer graphic program for color rendering.Also, I recommend never letting any of these hybrid ink pens go into a tip up orientation. Store them either flat for long term or, better, tip down when in daily use. Even in a pocket, I carry them tip down.

I absolutely love these pens. I'm writing out the Bible and these are perfect. The ink flow is consistent and the grip makes it easier not to get tired. The ink doesn't bleed either. I'll keep purchasing these.

Good pen. Very bad packaging. The box fell completely apart during shipping.

These are my favorite pens. I've been buying these in the 12-packs for several years because I've never found any pens that I enjoy using as much.I initially bought the multipack of different pen tip sizes. The expectation was that I would use them for drawing. It turned out they were good for drawing, but I liked them for use in writing. The ink is very black and goes on smoothly. Most ball point pens show the shape of the ball in the ink left on the paper; these do not.There is a rubber grip for comfort and to have a non-slip surface. The pen is fairly light-weight, as might be expected from a plastic pen, but the tip is solid metal and that gives a little stability to the pen.I like the 0.4mm pen for everyday use. It was a toss-up between the 0.4mm and 0.5mm. Both are a good size. The final decision came down to the amount of time it takes the ink to dry. The ink in these pens is a little slow to dry and the 0.4mm dries a little faster.The 0.3mm size leaves a very fine line that isn't quiet as black looking. These are also available in 0.6mm and 0.8mm. All have worked well for me. They don't dry out and they don't glob up on the paper or bleed through.They work well for drawing or writing.

It works in a pinch, but there are a lot of negative features. It has too much friction and it feels like you're scraping the pen across the page. It clogs up or something pretty consistently so I have to go make spirals in the margins before tracing over my failed work. On top of all that, the line it draws isn't even all that thin.

These write very well, they come with a snap-on cap, and they're comfortable in the hand. I like how they feel on the paper and how quickly they dry. I've tried several tip sizes and mostly use the 06 version. The 08 version is also good for a thicker line. The 05 version is too fine for everyday use.

The pens write very clearly and do not blot and glob and smear. I am delighted with the five different tip sizes and appreciate the finer penmanship that allows. I have had one of these pens before, a .5, and loved it. Thank you, Pentel.

I'm usually concerned about buying supplies online, especially Amazon since knock offs or lower grade products blend in with legitimate listings.However upon inspection and use this is the genuine deal and typical Japanese quality, which is to say high quality and not made in the usual.Thin crispy lines with no globular emissions and sturdy build, I do not regret paying the listed price of $30 CAD for a dozen pack knowing I'll have a good supply for the next few years and no longer need to visit the local art store which may not have my favoured 0.3mm in stock every time I visit.I have been addicted to these pens since art college in 2014 and am glad to know over the years the quality has not gone down whatsoever and are still available.

Excelente producto! 👌🏻Sin duda, son de los mejores bolígrafos que he adquirido en mi vida 😍Para aquellos que gusten de puntas realmente finas & de la tinta con buena fluidez, esto es algo que debe estar en sus escritorios 😉

In love with these pens! They write so well, very thin point but not fragile. Yes expensive but you can’t find them anywhere but online and still good value when compared to other options!

Son muy buenas plumas. Las compré en promoción y considero que son ideales para aquellas personas que tienen letra pequeña.
