Zebra Sarasa Grand, Retractable Gel Ink Pen, Gold Barrel, Medium Point, 0.7mm, Black Ink, 1-Count

I love these pens! Not too expensive, great quality, and you can get refills instead of throwing out your pen when it runs out of ink. Also, it's TRULY non-smearing. It dries pretty much instantly which means you don't smear the ink on the page as you write. The pens write so smoothly, and they come in pretty colors too. Worth the money!

There is not a better pen for the money. The body, its weight, its balancing, the quality of machining, the threads...They're all practically perfect. The grip on this thing is fantastic, and I cannot stress that enough. Whoever designed the center of gravity to sit exactly where it does knows more than just about any other designer on the market. Of course, the thing is also absolutely beautiful and I refuse to take it anywhere outside my home for fear of even scuffing it, though I'll be the first to admit the brass-gold yellow is a particularly stylish accent in the breast pocket of a dark suit. This thing oozes style and excellence, and it writes with ease for hours and hours. It can also take Uniball Jetstreams, and I highly recommend running such a cartridge. After having done that, you'll have in your hand possibly the greatest pen for writing and style for under at least $60. In short, Zebra somehow managed to make the Platonic ideal of a ballpoint click pen and then marketed it for less than 12 dollars. What else can I say? It's the best pen almost anyone will ever own, and manages to do that at a cost lower than a meal at your average fast food restaurant. Buy one and you'll understand.

Feels almost like calligraphy :) flows onto the paper. The clip is a little bulky but otherwise is a handsome pen. (For those that still use one :)

The Sarasa Grand was redesigned to a less tapered funnel/barrel ceasing production on this particular design in 2022. I love this design vs the new one, it has a different feel when you write. The weight of this pen is perfect, it has comfortable balance. I like that it can be used professionally or casually, the ink is interchangeable with energel! I use the burgandy ink with this gold barrel.

This pen releases ink with little effort but the ink doesn't smear. It's an excellent pen to write with and it's my go-to for quickly jotting down notes. The only complaint I have is that the writing/ink thickness is 0.7mm. This is fine for most uses, but it becomes a problem if you need to write in small letters or in tight spaces. I prefer 0.5mm but I'll manage with the 0.7mm since this pen writes better than my other pens. Still, please consider releasing a 0.5mm!!
