## Description

Ohto Minimo Ballpoint Pen with Holder - 0.5 mm - Black

Review: Clever and useful - Very clever tiny pen with a card holder so it easily fits into a wallet. Means you always have a pen with you. To be honest, I always carry a full-size pen, but this is a great emergency back-up.
Review: Possibly the tiniest pen I have ever used - I ordered the pen as I was looking for something compact and easy to keep at hand especially when travelling. I knew it was small but I was surprised at how tiny it actually is! It’s approximately 5mm longer than a credit card and as thick as about 4 of them stacked together. The “case” it comes with is essentially a thin piece of credit card sized plastic with a small plastic tube on top to slide the pen into. The plastic would slide into a slot in a wallet or purse so you could keep the pen attached. I wouldn’t use it in a wallet kept in a back pocket as I think there is a danger of snapping it if sat on, however if it’s kept inside a jacket pocket or a purse in a hand bag it would be fine. I have small hands and it’s ok for me although I wouldn’t want to use it for extended periods. However if you have big hands or lack dexterity it might be too fiddly. It writes well; smooth, fine script with no blotches and it is amazingly compact. The biggest danger is finding it again if dropped!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the length of this pen?**
A: About 3 - 9/16"

**Q: Which refill do I order from Amazon for this pen?**
A: It’s labeled “OHTO R-4C5NP 8E”

**Q: so, can i buy refills?**
A: Yes part number: Ohto R-4C5NP it’s cheaper on another site too FYI for $2 instead of $10 on amazon. Jetpens

**Q: whats the plastic holder for? I want this for my small journal that has a loop for a pen, would this work?**
A: OK, what they're calling a "holder" is actually a piece of plastic about the size of a credit card with a sleeve along one side in which the pen fits. I guess you put the card part between pages of a book to hold the pen there? I don't know, it doesn't seem very useful to me. As for the loop on your journal: How small are we talkin'? Because this pen is tiny. TI-NY. It is the approximate length (maybe 3") and diameter of a wooden cocktail pick. I'm not kidding. It's very small and difficult to write with - and I have small hands!  As such, I can't imagine it holds enough ink to write very much. When I bought it, I was looking for something with a super-fine point that was not a gel pen, but this is actually just a super-tiny pen in all respects but was not enough of an expenditure to return it.
