Pentel Arts Slicci Metallic 0.8 mm Needle Tip Gel Pen, Metallic Pink Ink, Box of 12 (BG208-Mp)

I got one of these originally from an art store a while back, and when it ran out I had to get more! These are amazing for any artist that requires fine lining pens!These have such a smoothness to them that I wasn’t expecting for how tiny they are, and not only that but they also are quick drying, so they don’t often smear when I use them!I definitely recommended these for traditional illustrators, or people that journal or really anyone that wants a finer pen line

This pen has an extra fine point. The purple ink is soft, which is pleasant, but harder to see in less than bright conditions. I like it, but I needed something a bit darker. I will use it for writing notes in greeting cards instead of its intended purpose.

I'm waiting on my 3rd orange because my colors seem to keep getting stuck. I've tried every trick but I think with the fine tip theres only so much you can do. Pentel has been great with issuing a new one it's just a pain in the neck

They write smooth and don't skip or stop, nice and glimmery.. they have a decent fine point, more for writing than coloring.The color is a bright yellow gold that can look brownish, almost slightly greenish (to my eyes) when the light isn't on it.Very nice but if you're looking for a champagne tone, this isn't quite it.

I love these pens. I like the narrow ones and these are perfect. They glide smoothly and I get a lot of use out of one pen.

Never thought I would be obsessed with pens, so this is weird, but I love this pen.If you are the type of person that is looking for a pen that has the thinnest line then your search can possibly end here. I bought a number of pens that describe themselves as having a ultra/micro/super fine point, but failed when put to the test, the Pentel Slicci 0.25 does not. I've compared it to the following pens: Pilot V5 RT, Uniball Signo RT 0.38, Uniball Signo Micro 207, Uniball Deluxe Micro, Pilot G2 0.38mm, Pilot GTEC-C4 0.4mm. Only the GTEC-C4 (also known as HITEC) came close, but fails in other ways. The Slicci has the thinnest line, but not only that it is dark, writes amazingly smoothly for a fine point (no, of course not as smooth as the Pilot V5 RT, but you can't expect that with a point this sharp), AND doesn't skip. I can apply almost no pressure and the ink flows effortlessly. It also dries very quickly and has very minimal smudging when used on good paper.I've tested all of the above pens using Black n' Red notebooks, which have the best paper I've found in a reasonably priced notebook.Pros:-THINNEST line of the above listed pens-Dark ink-Fast drying with low smudging-Smooth writingCons:-The pen barrel is thin, so if you need a thicker pen barrel, you'll need to look elsewhere or purchase a different pen and use the Slicci ink refill.-The distributer on amazon charges more than at an alternative site (I'd recommend searching google for "Japanese Pens" and see what you find)I have another 5 pens in the mail that are all <0.4mm, so I will update this review if one of them bests the Slicci.Edit: I should also mention that despite other reviewers commenting on the reliability of this pen, I have not had any instances where it "dried out" or stopped working, but have only been using it for a little over a week now, so maybe that will change.Update June 2014:I still think this is probably the smoothest ultra-thin gel pen you can buy, and using the multi-ink (Pentel Sliccies BG3) version eliminates the barrel problem.HOWEVER, the best ultra-thin pen for hospital use has to be the  Uni SXR-38 jetstream knock ballpoint pen refill 0.38 mm - Black Ink  placed inside of the  Uni Alpha-gel Jetstream Ink Ball Point Pen 0.7mm Black-body . The heaviness with comfortable grip and the ultra thin line (thinner than the 0.38 sliccie even) makes it the perfect pen for progress notes, etc. where space is limited and you don't want to risk any smearing.It's not a gel pen, but it is the smoothest and thinnest writing pen I have ever used.

Love the rose gold color! I specifically purchased this so I could get rose gold. Ink came out so smooth. Love it!

Great for math homework. 1 pen lasted me 11 days of constant writing. The fine line is nice for keeping my solutions down to a single page. I never had any issue with skipping.The line isn't as thin compared to the uni jetstream 0.28 but it's thin enough and much more reliable.I only wish the pen came with a larger body and ink capacity. I ended up removing the Slicci refills and putting them in a G2 pen body. They fit perfectly, if you don't care about the retractable mechanism - otherwise they can be modified with some tape and superglue to get clicky slicci.

Color - beautiful silver, slightly greyish tinted on white paper but very silver on black paper and it really pops there.Line - a slim line that I can draw and write with! I have tiny handwriting and this one keeps it tidy, unlike 1 mm.Flow - super smooth, even after more than a year of these, and several months of not being used.Color-filling - nope. You can't do that without seeing the lines. You are better off with a brush and silver watercolor or other paint.

Beautiful fine lines and jet black ink. Just what I was looking for!

I use these pens to write letters and take notes. Very fine writing pens.

Los uso encima de acuarelas y dibujos con plumón negro. Su tinta fluye parejo y pinta muy bien. Para mí fue muy buena compra.

１パックは12本入りではありません。たったの1本です。商品選択を間違えないようにしてください。12本届くと思ったら、たったの1本でがっかりしました。日本語の紛らわしい表現に騙されました。すごくいいペンなので、悔しいです。たった1本に¥2330はらってしまいました。勉強代だと思って泣寝入りします。購入するときは気をつけてください！
