Uni Jetstream EDGE 0.28mm Oil-based Ballpoint Pen, Champagne Gold Body (SXN100328.25)

Solid quality pen. I bought more than one and these are excellent for art, sketching drafting. I bought other color replacement inserts as well. For the price it’s a good deal. The pen feels great and it’s nice and light.I use them sparingly for fine details and the ink is matchy with some of my other fountain pen inks so I am happy. It’s amazing how fine it is.

I’m a big pen enthusiast but have the worst handwriting. I tried taking digital notes on my iPad but it isn’t the same. I’m back in school now and prefer handwriting my notes. This pen makes my handwriting appear so neat and clean. I wanted to write all day. Luckily I got it in right before exams and took over 25+ pages back and front of notes. Unfortunately in the week I’ve had the pen I already used up all the ink. But like I said, I did A LOT of writing. However, my typical Pilot .05 gel pen would’ve lasted longer. In my opinion it’s still worth it since I don’t have to toss the pen after it’s done and my writing is 1000x better.

Writes fantastically thin. Great if you prefer to write small, formulas, or diagrams.

I like to write quickly with tall and thin strokes using the thinnest pens available. I think I like this pen so far, I have several other thin pens including a newly acquired Pentel Slicci 0.25mm and the cost difference between the two are substantial with the Pentel Slicci being much cheaper and equal if not better performance . I am leaning more towards the Pentel Slicci because the body is thin and helps to write more quickly and accurate, the needle point on the Pentel is more rigid and helps stabilize the stroke.I like the way the body of the pen looks and feels, although it's a little too big/bulky for how thin the pen writes. This Jetstream Edge is too expensive and doesn't seem to perform that much better in comparison to make it worth the cost. The tip feels slightly loose when writing on paper so I don't feel confident in my stroke. Sometimes the ink on the Jetstream Edge doesn't appear and simply scratches the paper, it seems sensitive to slight debris on the paper (like when I erase from a Frixion pen and attempt to write over it) - whereas the Pentel Slicci doesn't have the same issue.I've added pictures of comparison between the two pens in this review along with the other thin (and not so) that I have on hand.In order of preference, I am leaning towards Pentel Slicci 0.25mm > uni Jetstream Edge 0.28mm > uni-ball Signo RT1 0.28mm > Shinzi Monpeluche Slim Ballpoint 0.38mm > Frixion Ball slim 0.38mm.

I wear this pen every day in the OR. It's great for writing tiny on pathology labels and does not smear. I can sign clearly on blood draw labels. I can write in the tiniest spaces legibly and comfortably. The spring clip stays on my scrib collar and does not fall off at the most inconvenient time like all the other pens I have tried. This is so important in the OR as in the past I have had things contaminate sterile areas. Having things stay where you put them is so crucial. This little pen is a gem. I buy them as gifts and I own several. I'm on my 4th one for my own use because they keep getting stolen. But I don't mind. Everyone loves them.

As far as value for your money goes... This pen is ok. I had high hopes for it because I have many others by uni that I enjoy, but the construction belies the potential for quality writing in this particular pen.For starters, the most obvious: this pen frequently skips and stutters when I use it. This could secretly be a very old pen that I received - but, I have no way of testing that, so I can only assume the ink does not agree with the fineness of the nib.Somewhat less obvious, but stands out to me: The inner barrel of the pen wobbles and wiggles when I write. Combine that with lines not reaching the page, I don't feel very confident using this pen... I think it will only work ok if you write with a bit of speed, but I do not.Effectively, I have better luck getting a delicate look with a medium-tipped pen with better construction.... I don't really recommend this one based on my experience.Which is a shame, because the body of the pen is so stylish!

Junk, absolute and total junk....I paid over $10.00 apiece for two and they aren't worth 10 cents. Poorly made, same as no ink flow, I am writer who writes with quality pens.... There is NO quality to be found in this piece of junk......

Just got the pen today and so far it works great. I was a little disappointed with the color, I got the champagne gold and it looks like silver most of the time for me. I haven't had any issue with it skipping. I did notice that it wouldn't write on a card that must have had some film on it that a regular ball point had no issues with. 95% of my writing is in notebooks so I don't see that being an issue for me. I'll be curious how long it lasts since it writes so fine so it can't use too much ink.
