SARASA X20 Retractable Gel Pen, Black Ink, 1.0mm, 12-Pack | Rapid-Dry Ink, Smear-Resistant, Ideal for Left-Handed Writers, Note-Taking, Office, School Supplies, Bold Point Tip (46610)

Alright, I’m currently going to write this review while I’m at work, which is where I use these. It was a bit of a risk since i couldn’t find a smaller pack of these 1.0mm and had to commit to the $15 for a dozen. So basically, if I didn’t like these—I’m stuck with them bc I’m not someone who goes through the refund process. I just accept my losses unless it’s a huge dollar amount. Now I normally like the Pilot G2 bold 1.0, but as a lefty—the ink smears quite badly. I’ve heard these are really good for use south paws, and I work in an office at my job and do a lot of paperwork, so smudging on documents and signing business checks is not a good look. And yes, I know ballpoint pens exist, but ugh … I’m spoiled to using gel and ballpoint just feels so blah now. Anyways, to not make this any lengthier — yes, yes, yes! These are awesome pens and I think I like them slightly better than than G2. The writing is inky and bold, and there’s no drag. Also, the most important thing you’re wondering if you’re also left-handed— very little smudging! What do I mean? Well, it doesn’t smudge on paper, but I have a very slight smudge on my hand. I write fast, so this is much nicer than when my G2 smudges all on the underside of my hand AND the paper. I’ll take it. Also, if I were to get this in a smaller point (0.5 ICK or 0.7), I’m sure it’d truly be smudge-proof. I’ll stick with my 1.0mm and have a little tiny ink stain on me though. This was money not wasted and tbh, the price point is really good for such a wonderful pen! One downfall is the ink is used up quickly. Takes me about 1.5 weeks to use a full pen writing 5 days a week vs using a G2 which would take me about 3-4 weeks. I have plenty tho and it’s worth it to me for all the mentioned reasons above. Don’t think on it, just do it. I might get the blue ones next!

Writes smoothly with a nice bold line. My only problem with these is my coworkers and kids stealing them.

These pens work great and are better than any other brand I’ve tried. I always re order these pens highly recommended.

This pen really glides when you write. I have a tad bit of arthritis and don't like to put a lot of pressure into my writing. This flows easily and when I underline passages in books or in a notebook, this ink is resistant to bleeding through to the other side, unless of course the page is way too thin. I especially like the 1.0 mm black because it is bold, which works well when writing notes that I want to copy later. Just know that the lines are thick so you may have to write more clearly than when using the .5 or .7 mm gel pens. I really looked around at different pens and until my daughter gifted me with the Sarasa Zebra gel pens, I hadn't found much that I liked. I like these. Here's a hint for students: Take notes in a .5 or .7 mm pen, blue ink. Then, when you study, go over your notes with these 1.0 mm black Zebras and you can quickly emphasize what you want to remember.

If you haven't used a Sarasa ball point pen, you don't know what you are missing. The pressurized gel provides a smooth and consistent line, easily outperforming normal ball point pens. These particular pens have a wide, bold, 1.0mm roller ball, which produces a thicker and more pronounced line than a normal (0.7mm) Sarasa pen, or a standard ball point pen. The effect is like writing on top of a magazine, versus writing on top of a hard desk. These pens have a wider point of contact, and it just feels better. Plus you get a result that stands out, and is more clear, than writing from a normal ball point pen. Best of all, these amazing pens are quite affordable, while easily outperforming most of the expensive classic brands.

I actually bought these pens for my brother. He LOVES these pens. His son had given him MANY and when he ran out he couldn't find the BOLD in stores. My brother doesn't want to use any other pen!! His health was causing problems so at the time I found the Sarasa BOLD online and ordered them for him. He doesn't show much emotion ever but he was thrilled to get HIS BOLD Sarasa pens!! His birthday is Dec. 7 and I was going to give them to him for his birthday? He was having bad health days so I gave them to him early. He carries one with him at all times so your product makes him happy. He loves how smooth and BOLD they write. Then he is worried HOW he will get MORE when he runs out?? I told him to tell his sister and she will hook him up!! He is just trying to learn computer skills but then maybe I can show him how to order them?? You have the BEST PEN ever in my brother's mind!! Thanks from him for a great product!! Patty Lutz for William Lutz Jr.

I do a ton of writing every day! nonstop for work! Plus I write left-handed so every single pen I have used my entire life; has smeared and made the paperwork or writing look terrible! And looked like a snail drug across the paperwork and writing! These pens are amazing! They do not smear at all! I am very heavy-handed so there is a Lotta ink coming out of these bad boys and no smearing at all! Plus they write super smooth and never dry up!! Seriously best pens I’ve ever wrote with and bought!

I ordered this 12-pk of Zebra SarasaDryX 1.0 pens in September, based on my satisfaction using an older Sarasa pen. That previous pen style worked well for me - always smooth-flowing, wrote well on most all kinds of paper (printer, notebook, PostIt notes, wrapping paper, etc) - which was why I sought out the Sarasa pen again. Now it's November. I've opened the 12-pk of SarasaDryX and have tried 3 of the pens. They all write nicely for a few words, then they choke up ands ink stops flowing. If I shake them as you might if you had an old pen that was running low on ink, they will squeak out a few more words, then choke again. If I could, I would return this $10 pack of pens. They are useless to me.

Easy writing, notes and signing. Clear 1.0 mm lines.

super bon

Lo vi en un tutorial para escribir hiragana y katakana y si jala muy bien para hacer los trazos con si respectivo harao

Great smooth flowing gel pens - love the 1.0mm point too

Those pens that I have used so far are OK, compared to the others I bought at the same time which did not work properly. Given my experience of this company I will not buy from them again.
