## Description

Zebra Tapli Clip Ballpoint Pen - 1.6 mm - Black Body - Black Ink

Review: Good writing pen! - Very smooth writing pen for a thick tip. Is shipped from Japan so expect a long delivery time.
Review: Got to love a bold pen! - I always do my writing with 1.6mm pens as they are so smooth to write with and just flows on paper. The ink doesn't smudge and is a very durable pen with great quality and functions very well. The only reason I knocked off 2 stars is because £8.99 for one single pen is just a bit ridiculous! I got this pen to test it out and even though it's a great pen, I think you should include more pens if you're spending nearly a tenner!
