Pentel ENER-GEL NV Liquid Gel Pen, 0.5mm, Needle Tip, Black Ink, 1 Pack (BLN25BPA)

This writing utensil’s my deadly katana or japanese sword. So much more than a simple pen. I first met this gorgeous pen around 2003. I was then and still am now an avid writer/painter.So id buy and try new pens. I found this type and fell in a deep love. They are beyond fantastic. I resided in Arizona Att . This pen made some fantastic drawings and poetry. and the smooth writing is otherworldly. I moved to Illinois but before I bought a few This was 2005, well 20+ years later since then. I babied the last one till it ran out about 4 years ago(kept it even tho empty) i hadn’t New ones anywhere. I’ve looked . I’m extremely resistant to change. I once went to the store at 3:00 am to get this pen, imo worth it..this Pen is smooth ,w great feel and can draw in any any style. I had convinced myself that the pilot V5 was good enough replacement …..Not even close…I tested it just now, and boy does this pen shine. It’s just as wonderful as I remembered, it’s like getting my special weapon in a video game back….ironically was buying a fountain pen on amazon to experiment with writing and drawing then this old love of mine pops up. I was shocked and angry I never checked amazon(I’m a creature of habit I guess)…..I’m unbelievably happy

Writes nice. Doesn't smear.

I've pruchased this a couple of times from this seller over the years. I LOVE these pens. I've carried two on me at all times for what must be DECADES by now. Started buying them here when Walmart stopped carrying them. Always reliable ink flow. Love the precision of the needle point! I hope your supply never runs out because I'm likely to purchase them from you until the day I die!

I am glad these were still in production. We had a lot of random office pens in our house and the couple of these that we had worked by far the best. When the ink ran out of the last one, I searched on Amazon to see if they were still in production. They write so smooth and effortlessly, always dark and legible. I was glad they came as a box of 12 so they will last us for many years to come.

Without a doubt these are the best gel pens ever made. They seem to be the perfect hybrid of liquid and gel inks. This means that the pen will flow as easily as a liquid ink roller ball while being usable on most all types of paper like a gel ink pen without leafing, echoing on the other side of the page, or bleeding through. The flow is also super consistent, and the ink capacity seems larger than my Pilot G2 gel pens (the ones that advertise they last 2x longer than any other gel pen). I must've written nearly a hundred pages over the weekend and it's still writing. I think the medium 0.7mm point is too smooth for me but still a pleasure to use. But it is this one, the 0.5mm point, that seems to be the best all around writer. The line comes out broader than most 0.5mm point gel pens, but still very fine. You can tell that this isn't a pure gel pen and that it consists of a good amount of liquid because a) if you hold the point on paper for like ten seconds it will eventually bleed through, and b) the lines do get slightly (SLIGHTLY) broader with weaker types of paper. Overall this is probably my favorite disposable pen. If only they made some luxury pens whose refills were like this pen. If the pens were cheaper I'm sure they'd be the only pen used by everybody! That's how good they are.

*Perfect pen* SPOILED by UGLY, PERMANENT INFO STRIP Nearly rated this perfect pen 5-Stars!!! (See photos---sigh.) I was delighted this black ink pen came in really beautiful deep blue, even the cap is beautiful. Then, about to test it---What the....?!!? This is THE perfect pen: Needle tip, perfect .05 flow; BEAUTIFULLY ELEGANT Midnight Blue barrel, designer sculpted cap looks like my expensive blue bike helmet (which I love) ---yet, with black ink---which I needed (don't like the silver/black barrel, but love this elegant deep blue!!) But then I saw the back side. My jaw dropped in disbelief when realized they'd not used a removable label for throwaway info and barcode. This* design SHOULD be suitable for boardrooms, elegant $3000 suits, and fine dining---BUT is ruined by the ugly, permanently printed bar-code/misc info strip. which SHOULD'VE been printed on plasticized removable stickers---like expensive pens it looks like. WHAT a dumb decision. For a picky but enthusiastic pen lover, I'm dismayed at the stupidity of not using removable labels. Even the cheapest junk pens don't ugly their pens this way. DAMN!! (OK---I LOVE BEAUTIFUL PENS. I love needle tip .05!! LOVE premium, water resist, fast dry gel ink!!! I LOVE MIDNIGHT BLUE!! I love the elegant cap design----but that ugly strip is so bad I might as well use my belived old Pilot Precise needle tip .05--- with the cool dbl sided ink-view windows. SHEESH!!!....and CURSES!!!! ;P PS The Journal pages illustrate writing as artform to me. :)

These pens work incredibly well, and produce a very smooth but thin line. They respond to very light pressure, and the ink dries very quickly (though it takes a bit longer on less absorbent surfaces). They can be a bit finicky about writing upside-down, though they will usually manage it. I've determined that I can take 60-70 pages of notes before the line becomes less smooth and occasionally skips, and it can write that way for about 15 more pages before the ink runs out entirely. (You could throw it out when it started running low, but the skips usually aren't bad enough to make that necessary.) I prefer the blue (which produces a nice dark color), but I've used the black as well and it is also good. To my eye, the line from the black 0.5mm looks a little narrower than the blue 0.5mm, but they're fairly similar. Everyone I've recommended them to has loved them, and I now use them almost exclusively.

So smooth!

Great pens. I was gifted a fine tip pen and fell in love with the sharp writing I can do on paper. When my gifted pen ran out of ink, typically i lose the pen before this time, I kept this pen safe as i really enjoyed using the fine tip, I ordered these pens... they're great, the ink dries very fast, nice size to hold and write for extended periods. I highly recommend this pen if you like fine tipped pens!

Writes well and one of my best go to pens.

Great fine tipped gel pens.

Excellent product l will not run out recommend to all

He usado este tipo de bolígrafos de gel desde hace años y recientemente era menos fácil conseguir los de tinta negra. Estos están en un excelente precio por lo que la relación calidad/precio es muy buena. Aunque la presentación es ligeramente diferente a la encontrada en México, por el color del plástico, éste es un azul más intenso, y el tamaños, es ligeramente más corto, es la misma calidad.
