Muji Gel Ink Ballpoint Pen 6-Pieces Set, 0.38 mm Nib Size, Black

Fab pens. Lovely fine nib

i bought these pens from this amazon listing and they are the same as a pen i bought in the Muji store in dublin. however, as said in the reviews here, there are two different types of muji pen. both have the same size head but are slightly different .i ordered some coloured pens from muji and the ones that came have a different design and feel. i prefer this pen however. the main difference is that this pen is more inky and slightly wetter, which i like, tho it COULD be a difference in the colour of ink. i kinda like to write with this inky pen at an angle but with the other pens, you have to write flush. if you write at an angle the ink won't come out. these are my fav pens i have ever found tho i am no pen expert.

Have been using these pens for some years, they are great and unobtrusive for your handbag (if you use one), small & stylish. I like you can see the ink line through the pen so you can get ready to order the next lot. They are not expensive, comfy to hold & write nicely. What more could you ask for - amazing!

I use a lot of gel pens, coloured ones and I thought this pack was a fair price. The pens when they arrived didn’t instantly impress me. They look really cheap, just an opaque barrel with a branding in it that looks like a label stuck on, and they are packaged in a thin cellophane sleeve.Appearances aside, how do they write?Well initially I was quite disappointed because the orange was a lovely vibrant colour but a little scratchy to write with and I found that if I put it down for a few minutes and then picked it up again, it took a few strokes to get the flow going again.The red was better, and the blue and black better still.A week later and I’m not having the flow problems with any of them now, the colours are good and string, and the ink flow is quite even. I’m using them at work, because they are decent for everyday work purposes and for the price, they’re good value, but I personally prefer gel pens that are retractable and that are more comfortable to hold, and whilst these are now writing more smoothly than when I first started using them, it definitely isn’t the smooth glide over the paper that I get with more expensive brands.

Good

Glides and writes smoothly. Makes my penmanship look better.

Great pens and write amazingly. They’re very black and the colour comes through on paper without any issues or extreme pressure. I love them!

I remember the initial appeal of Muji, years ago, the first time I saw one of their UK stores. Minimalist (and minimally branded) quality Japanese everyday bits and pieces that sat somewhere between basic supermarket essentials and posh, almost art-like homeware pieces.These pens belong more on the everyday and ordinary side of that fence unfortunately. While the semi-chunky cylinder shape is quite cool, it’s tempered by the fact the plastic casing looks cloudy and quite old-fashioned.The line quality is rather pleasant, it has to be said. The nibs are fine and the ink flow is nicely consistent. It’s a satisfying pen to sign your name with. The results do look scratchy, so if you already feel your handwriting is scratchy enough as it is, these will emphasise it.The colour selection is fairly smart. The darker blue pen looks black until you start using it, so I’m sure plenty of people will pick it up thinking it’s the black one. The other blue pen isn’t much lighter either. The others in the set are ‘teacher standard’ pens, fine for making, with the only unusual one being the orange. The orange gives a bright, appealing but not luminous line that is quite good for mark-up on a document, having the same effect as a red pen but without the negative connections of red.As a kid in the 1980’s I think these pens would have looked cool, but nowadays I don’t think they have the distinctive look, style or quality that gets anywhere close to justifying paying almost two quid per pen.
