PILOTRazor Point Fine Line Marker Stick Pens, Ultra-Fine Point (0.3mm) Black Ink, 12-Pack (11001)

Light weight

It's a reunion of sorts for me with the classic Pilot Razor Point pen. I didn't know they even made these anymore!Way "back in the day", I used to doodle drawings around the edges of my notes while in class with my trusty razor point. This was during the time I was infatuated with Rapidograph pens for drawing and the Razor Point was a great approximation built for common use.These pens followed me into business (where I still doodled drawings during endless boring meetings) until I lost track of a supply.When my not-as-thrilling mass market Pilot Precise V pens started underperforming recently, I went on trusty Amazon for a solution. I was stunned to find my old friend, the Razor Point, still available.Nowadays, I use these babies for crossword puzzles. With everything shrinking in the newspapers of today, you need a seriously fine point to write with in those tiny boxes. The Razor Point always provided that and still does today.Plus, it remains one of the finest smooth-writing pens in the business. Economical but efficient, the pens still give the confident, smooth line of yesteryear.Although I've never had any problems with them, these are super-fine nibs, so if you're heavy-handed in your writing style, there is the possibility you can splay the tip and cause a sloppier line. Hard-pressers beware, this is a tool more suited to an even pressure style. Rollerballs are better for the hard-pressers.I am super pleased to have my old writing friend back. Now if I only had some classes or meetings to go to so I could doodle again!

This has been my go-to marker pen for 45 years. I use a blue or black one most of the time, and this red one when I need more visibility for corrections. I like the tip and resulting way it writes without excessive bleed-through. And if I lose one, oh well. I get another one out of the box and their cost isn't a factor.

These pens are water soluble and compatible with water colors. They have many shading applications and in conjunction with water color, make a very favorable pen and ink project. They fit in your Pocket Sketching bag or what ever you use to quickly transport you watercolors, and with your mini pad for on the spot impromptu sketching plein air or studio.

Hi, I'm a writer. I like to write first drafts by hand, then type them.Ever since TUL discontinued their marker pens, I have been searching for a replacement. So far, these pens have come closest. At first I didn't think I'd cotton to them (the line isn't quite as bold as I'd like), but I've come around somewhat.The Good:-These pens glide smoothly; very little pressure is needed-They don't spot or gunk up or do weird things while you write.-No bleed-through (unlike the Pilot Extra Fine Point Permanent Marker Black Extra Fines, which were the last Pilots I bought.)- The yellow cap tip actually DOES help me spot these pens. Didn't think I'd care about this feature, but now I LOVE it!-As I write, one side of the nubbin wears down, giving me the option of doing a bolder line (which I like, because to me this line is just a titch too thin). But there's a downside to the wear...The Bad:...unlike the TULs, the nibs on these pens wear down to the metal. The reason I threw out my first pen wasn't because I'd used up the ink, but because I'd worn down the nub!The Ugly:NOT WATER SAFE! Already dried writing gets smeared if it's accidentally splashed, so be careful!Sum Up:A FANTASTIC bargain a for an everyday pen that's heads-and-tails above the rest!However, if you're a marathon writer like me, you may wear 'em out before ink's used up, which I don't think is very cost-effective. I will try a different set of pens--because I am convinced TUL couldn't have cornered the market on the set of features that I loved about them.That said, to quote Bill Murray: "I've worked with better....but not many."I may be back for more.

These are my absolute favorite pens for writing in my journal. I love the way they feel I love the way the ink flows out of them, they do flatten pretty quickly over time so you need the full box but very few complaints.

Love these pens. Green is my favorite. They have a fine tip but enough flex that your writing is clear.

Nice dark black, writes amazingly and very thin, however the ink runs out quickly compared to some other pens.
