Pilot Gel Ball Point Pen, Hi-Tec-C 03, Extra Fine, Black (LH-20C3-B)

if you like very fine writing this is your pen.

I love this pen. It's smooth, decently smudge resistant, and I love how fine the point is. Worth every penny

Sometimes the ink flow is very patchy here. Can get nothing or too much ink. The tip is very thin for precise writing but if you write with a heavy hand you will rip the paper.

The body design is terrible - it's shaped like an extra thick BIC Crystal, so that's terrible, but the 'grippy' bit is round and allows the pen to roll off your desk! I put 'grippy' in quotes because it's just hard plastic, not a nice rubber grip. Utterly baffling. It draws beautifully though, and with light pressures you can get stunning detailed lines. I would have given it 4 stars if not for the absolutely terrible body design.

Fantastic pen, I used it almost every day (roughly 5-6 months) and spent about 3/4 of the ink until I dropped it off the edge of a table and the tip became bent. I like to write as small as possible and this pen accomplishes that better than any other. Line consistency: 8.7/10 Line darkness: 9.3/10 Line width: 9.8/10 Aesthetics: 7.2/10 Longevity: 9/10 Durability: 7.8/10 Comfort: 8/10 Balance of weight: 9.5/10 Smallest angle with ability to write: approximately 18° The tip does not dry out if left uncapped. The shipment takes a very long time to get to the US which is completely understandable, as it is coming from Japan. Seller seems to package the pen safely and looks as though he cares for each individual order. I highly recommend buying this pen if you enjoy writing finely.

Writes smooth just as I hoped it would!

I usually LOVE these PENS .....LOVE THEM.....BUT the tips are bad and would not write correctly

These pens are great if you like ultra fine tips. You need to be light with the pressure on these due to the fine tip and make sure to keep them cap or the roller ball will freeze up with dry ink due to its small size.

i dropped this pen on the ground once and when i picked it up, the needle tip had bent out of shape. I couldnt bend it back into shape...it still wrote of course...but i had to hold it at odd angles..which was annoying. Be careful. These pens are precious and delicate. They write like a dream. Would totally buy more from this supplier. It just takes REALLLLY long to arrive.

Get the 0.3 only if you plan on working with very fine lines. Pricing is a joke because import. This is a basic pen and shouldn't cost upwards of 150 and even that is being generous. The magic is in the refill where there is never any ink leak or variation. That is the only reason to buy this pen.

I use these pens exclusively now for illustration. This diameter is my go to with some one either side of this for detail or bold work. Great pens. Bit scratchy, but only because the nib is so fine at this end of the scale - doubt it could be avoided. Delivery was quick as well from this seller - faster than suggested.
