Zebra F-xMD 24380 1.0mm Ballpoint Pen - Silver

This is a very nice pen! - It has a quality "feel" about it, and it writes very smoothly. I like the understated, all stainless steel construction, and the knurling at the pointy end - where one would normally grip the pen in use. Even though it is made from stainless steel, it is still very lightweight, and completely unnoticeable when carried in a pocket. The pocket clip functions well, and keeps the pen wherever you've clipped it. This particular pen replaces the Zebra F701 model, which has been a long-time favourite by "every day carry" aficionados, as such pens could, if it came to the crunch, also be used as a self defence tool. - They are certainly constructed well enough!!! Overall, it just gives that unquantifiable "nice to use" sort of feeling that certain items seem to do. - A great pen for the price.

I really like this pen a lot. It’s comfortable to hold and writes really nicely. Looks nice too so good to take to meetings. Very happy with this as a purchase, highly recommend it Edit. I’ve liked this so much I’ve just ordered another one

My oldest Zebra pens and pencils are more than 30 years old and still work brilliantly. This F-xMD is a visual improvement over the F701. It feels the same, which is great, but it looks better due to the complete steel barrel instead of having that small bit of plastic on the top of the F701. Zebra refills are very good but you can install alternative refills including a Space-Pen refill (NOT recommended by me) if you wish. You can even fit the superb Uni refills if you create a collar out of sticky-tape for the return-spring to press against. If the steel was thicker I may well use one as my prime ball-pen instead of my expensive 'Wingback'. The 'Wingback' looks very similar but feels much nicer because of the extra weight. This is not a criticism of the F-xMD which is excellent in use and great value for money. I highly recommend it.

This pen is very nice. It's a stainless steel simplistic design with a diamond pattern grip and a deep satisfying click. It's weighty, which I happen to enjoy in a pen. It's very affordable and will last you a lifetime if taken care of. I've used it for a year, and I have not regretted my purchase. There are some cons however. - It's not an all metal pen as described due to the black plastic interior, however that's understandable as the pen would be unwieldy otherwise. - It's stock cartridge is a plastic Zebra tube that writes okay, but I took the liberty of upgrading mine to a metal jacket with nicer ink. - The clip can bend, and is a troublesome little creature to bend back. Just don't use the clip if you value your sanity. - It can be a pain to clean this pen, especially the diamond grip. I suggest using rubbing alcohol and a paintbrush for that part. - You may get assorted objects thrown at you for obsessively clicking this thing over and over in the office. Results may vary. How to remove the sticker: On arrival, it has a sticker that some have had issues removing entirely. There is a way to remove it without causing damage and it's relatively easy. Simply peel off the sticker, and you'll be left with some residue. DO NOT use DW40 to remove the residue as it may damage the finish. Instead, use a cloth and rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer (an item we all now have plenty of). This should remove it all cleanly. Fix for scratchy clicker: If your pen clicker starts sounding a little scratchy (If you hold the thing up to your ear like me; a total lunatic) try opening the thing up, taking the cartridge and spring out and giving it a tiny squirt of DW40 into where the pointy end would be. Let it seep into the mechanism a little bit, then turn it back the right way up and let it stand on a towel to drain for a bit. Reassemble, and it should be pleasantly smooth and clicky. If it sounds wet, it did not dry enough, let it drain some more.

Good quality pen, nice weight and writes smooth and consistently. Looks more expensive than it is. I have several of these and all have been great.

I love this pen. It has a great weight its grippy and comfortable. The added weight makes it comfortable to use even though it is shorter than the standard pen. The click is nice and easy to use. As for the functionality the ink flow can be patchy but this is fixed by third party refils.

I have exclusively used two writing instruments for years, the Staedtler Mars techno 2mm clutch pencil and the Zebra F-701. In 2018 when Zebra released the FxMD I slowly replaced all my F-701s, they were starting to look old and tatty. The F-701 and FxMD in my opinion is the perfect pen, strong and reliable, comfortable with a nice weight and cheap. I actually like using the Zebra F Refills, I find them very smooth and last me well. Although, I do swap out the refills for Fisher refills in the pens I use for site visits and outdoor tasks. I believe that the FxMD is the perfect pen for everyday carry and use. Especially for those that work in environments outside of the office; however, they are equally at home in the office.

I watched a few reviews by you tubers on this pen, I was impressed by them and bought accordingly., Also bought the fisher space pen refill(a hack recommend by several you tubers) Price is amazing below £6.00. but the thing that has impressed me most is how well it writes with the zebra refill. Doesn't skip or blob and writes smoothly without scratchiness. At this price and how it writes may move me away from goto Lamy safari with a Monteverde refill....update this is now my EDC pen. It's feel in the hand is spot on. The knurled grip section is perfect and I purchased 3 pens and one is now fitted with the fisher space pen refill, which also writes extremely nicely.

Great pen Best around. Inc. doesn’t last long so get extra cartridges. There’s a horrible label stuck on it. They will take something stronger than alcohol to get it off. But still can’t do better.

Excelente pluma , buenos materiales

Dies ist meiner Meinung nach eine verbesserte Version des F-701. Der F-xMD besteht außen vollständig aus Metall. Der Mechnismus ist etwas weniger klapprig als zum Beispiel beim Parkler Jotter, den es ja auch in einer Edelstahl-Version gibt. In direkten Vergelich zum Edelstah Jotter wirkt der F-xMD etwas schwerer und wertiger und das zu einem niedrigetren Preis. Vom Design her wirkt der F-xMD allerdings eher wie ein Werkzeug und nicht wirklich Elegant. Daszu passt auch der gerändelte Griffbereich, der sich dadurch sehr rau und kein bisschen rutschig anfühlt. Ob man das mag ist aber natürlich eine Frages des persönlichen Geschmacks. Es passen neben den Zebra originalen auch Fisher Space Pen Ersatzminen ohne Modifikationen oder Adapter in den Stift. Parker G2 passen nicht. Wenn man was ähnliches sucht das sich signifikant hochwertiger anfühlt, dann vielleicht der Rotring 600 order 800. Die sind dann aber auch bedeutend teurer. Also insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit der Qualität die der F-xMD in seiner Preisklasse liefert.

This pen is my definition of a great value product. Been looking for an edc pen for ages, and wanted to figure out what all the hype was about (these pens and the f-701 come up often amongst edc enthousiasts). Did not dissapoint, even compared to some of my Rotring pens!
