Uni Jetstream EDGE 0.28mm Oil-based Ballpoint Pen, Champagne Gold Body (SXN100328.25)

I originally got the Uni Jetstream EDGE 0.28mm pen in Champagne Gold because of how good it looks but after using it, I’m even more impressed by how it writes. The pen feels great in the hand and has a nice weight that helps keep my writing steady. The ultra-fine 0.28mm tip is perfect for small, detailed writing, which gives me way more room on the page good pen for the cost.

I’m a big pen enthusiast but have the worst handwriting. I tried taking digital notes on my iPad but it isn’t the same. I’m back in school now and prefer handwriting my notes. This pen makes my handwriting appear so neat and clean. I wanted to write all day. Luckily I got it in right before exams and took over 25+ pages back and front of notes. Unfortunately in the week I’ve had the pen I already used up all the ink. But like I said, I did A LOT of writing. However, my typical Pilot .05 gel pen would’ve lasted longer. In my opinion it’s still worth it since I don’t have to toss the pen after it’s done and my writing is 1000x better.

Solid quality pen. I bought more than one and these are excellent for art, sketching drafting. I bought other color replacement inserts as well. For the price it’s a good deal. The pen feels great and it’s nice and light.I use them sparingly for fine details and the ink is matchy with some of my other fountain pen inks so I am happy. It’s amazing how fine it is.

Finally! A pen with a fine enough line but not scratchy at all! It fits my hand and is comfortable to write with. If you're looking for a fine point pen for writing, you've found it!

Writes fantastically thin. Great if you prefer to write small, formulas, or diagrams.

As far as value for your money goes... This pen is ok. I had high hopes for it because I have many others by uni that I enjoy, but the construction belies the potential for quality writing in this particular pen.For starters, the most obvious: this pen frequently skips and stutters when I use it. This could secretly be a very old pen that I received - but, I have no way of testing that, so I can only assume the ink does not agree with the fineness of the nib.Somewhat less obvious, but stands out to me: The inner barrel of the pen wobbles and wiggles when I write. Combine that with lines not reaching the page, I don't feel very confident using this pen... I think it will only work ok if you write with a bit of speed, but I do not.Effectively, I have better luck getting a delicate look with a medium-tipped pen with better construction.... I don't really recommend this one based on my experience.Which is a shame, because the body of the pen is so stylish!

But unfortunately, the ink-skipping is just terrible. It happens all the time. As others have said, it could just be the pen comes with very old ink. I could easily see this vendor stocking up with the pens locally to avoid long shipping times. Unfortunately, I bought a nice pen to get me writing more physically and this pen makes me dread it. I don't feel like shelling out $5 for a refill.

Just got the pen today and so far it works great. I was a little disappointed with the color, I got the champagne gold and it looks like silver most of the time for me. I haven't had any issue with it skipping. I did notice that it wouldn't write on a card that must have had some film on it that a regular ball point had no issues with. 95% of my writing is in notebooks so I don't see that being an issue for me. I'll be curious how long it lasts since it writes so fine so it can't use too much ink.
