4 Zebra F-301 Compact Ballpoint Pens (2 Packs of 2), Black

I keep one stored in my wallet to sign receipts or when checking in at the doctor. The compact size it great for an edc notebook which I keep a second one with my field notes. The 3rd is in the car and 4th is a spare. The ink is perfect as it doesn’t bleed through. Once opened and ready to use, it’s extremely comfortable and not too thick. Overall great value and quantity.

I love how compact and well-made these pens are! Something about my handwriting makes ball-point pens give up on me quickly, and these have never given me any trouble. I wish this folding version was available in more stores. They are so much easier to carry around when packing light and the tip is better protected from dust and dirt than a traditional retractable pen. Would definitely recommend this item.

great pen, well designed and built and writes beautifully

These compact Zebra pens are great. They are easy to carry. They work great. We are very happy with these. Since you get two packs of 2, my husband and I both carry these pens and have spares when we need them. Thought the price was reasonable and we're pleased with the pens!

If you work any job that all but requires you have a pen on hand at any time (or do any hobby) that is not in an office then this is the best pen for the job. It always writes smoothly and precisely giving a professional look to your writing and does not skip or sputter like some ballpoints. It is pretty tough with the steel construction so you won't likely break it by bumping it in your pocket. Most importantly though, because it folds into the cap when not in use, it will not spill ink all over in your pocket or poke your leg or chest (depending) through your pocket with the sharp end. No annoying clicking to drive people insane with either. Straight up reliable, professional, and durable pen that is well worth the money.

Since retirement, I no longer wear a coat and tie. My favorite business pens no longer have a front shirt pocket as a home. I still appreciate always having a pen handy, and I have a part time retirement job that requires a pen several times a day. One of these compact pens goes in the front pocket of casual jeans or shorts and is so light it is barely noticeable. Once retrieved from your pocket, it easily pulls apart to be recombined to make a full length pen with a comfortable ribbed grip. A great pen!

And they work with my write-in-the-rain style field notebooks WITHOUT smudging, which was a problem with the pens I had used previously. They also have a small hole in the lid which will accommodate a small key-ring so that they can be attached to a lanyard which is also quite handy.

I really like this pen. I like the way it writes. It is a fine point and it writes very smoothly. But I really like how compact it is but opens up to nearly a full size writing instrument. Great for smaller handbags or or even in some wallets. Closed it is 3 3/4" and opened up it is 5 1/4 ".

Excellent

Portable very easily in all kinds of pocket, very light but sturdy and convertible to Normal pen from mini size.
