CR01 Water Based Rollerball Pen / OHTO

Mostly lovely!

This pen looks amazing and feels lovely in the hand but there's a couple of things about it I didn't love - though these are just my own opinions and what's a flaw to me might be just what you're looking for! Firstly, the cap needs a lot of force to put on or take off, which makes it harder to use. Secondly, the supplied ink refill feels - and it's hard to describe! - somehow 'grippier' on the paper. It's not rough, it's not scratchy, it's just... you can *feel* yourself writing. I fixed that for myself by swapping out the refill for a Pentel Energel one, which fits beautifully and is by far my favourite rollerball ink. This didn't solve the stiff cap, though, of course - so it's not a pen I will use as much as others. If you're after one that you can be sure will never come uncapped in your pocket bag and make a mess, though, this is perfect! (And did I say before...? It looks so so lovely!)

This is certainly a marvel that I’ve discovered, it’s a pen but it feels like a marker with how it writes lines darkened and smoothly, also due to how greatly it works in art, instant 10/10!

GREAT PEN

Been looking for a good writing pen for field note. This pen, in camo? Perfect!!
