Zebra Pen F-301 Ballpoint Fine Point 0.7mm, Black Easy-Glide Ink, Stainless Steel Retractable, Non-Slip Grip, Metal Clip, Refillable, Professional Design, Ideal for Gifts and Office, 4-Pack (27114)

The good: Decent pen, blue ink is a nice vibrant color. Decent looks. Good price point. No ink bleed through.The bad: Blue plastic to metal barrel is a weak point, will break there. The ball point doesn't operate at times when attempting to write over the paper that a hand was on previously.Generally speaking is a decent ball point pen. In my experience it's better than most yet falls a little short.

Fast delivery. These are the best pens...slim grip and precise print/cursive

My all time favorite writing untensils. Difficult to find locally, so this is a win for fine-point writing quality.

My husband's favorite pens. Tough and dependable.

The Zebra F-301 is a modern classic, on its way to becoming a timeless classic. When I first bought it back in the early 2000s, it replaced the Parker Jotter as my most frequently used ballpoint pen. The pen is flawless, with a stable body and refill, superb ergonomics, and fantastic writing performance. The F-series refill is among the very best conventional, oil-based cartridges, with smooth flow, versatility, reliability, and water resistance. Do not expect this pen to write like a low-viscosity ballpoint or gel pen, though. This is a more traditional ballpoint, similar in performance to the BIC Cristal, Parker QuinkFlow, and Lamy M16, except, in my opinion, it is better than all three. Remember, you can replace the default 0.7 mm refill with a 1.0 or 1.6 mm cartridge, both of which are widely available and affordable.

Um ótimo custo benefício!Macias no escrever.Recomendo!

Perfeita!

Ho scoperto questa penna a sfera a seguito di un acquisto dei refill, che oltre ad altri noti modelli Zebra condivide con la classica (e ben più costosa) Spalding in alluminio. Sia la qualità della scrittura che il peso-piuma (senza nulla togliere alla robustezza) ne fanno uno strumento di qualità davvero inusuale in questa fascia di prezzo. La consegna come sempre ha rispettato i tempi e la confezione era integra. Sono stato talmente soddisfatto dell'articolo da farne ulteriore scorta (una confezione da 9), allo scopo di equipaggiare tutta la famiglia e le mie varie postazioni di lavoro.

Slim but still a good grip for my hand.Good quality pens !!

Love these pens and won’t use anything else. The fine point ink runs smoothly without smearing.

رائع

After reading several reviews here, I was reminded of all the things I like about Zebra pens. They have been my go-to pens for the last 6 years at least. They are very comfortable to write with, smooth writing, attractive looking, and more.My one gripe....they are not very durable in part of their design. The barrel is a very nice stainless steel, however my criticism is in regard to the construction of the black plastic that screws into the stainless body. On nearly every one of the Zebras I've owned, the part of the plastic that threads into the body eventually cracks and breaks. Meaning, the pen becomes unusable without taping the pieces together. For a pen that is meant to be refilled, this is a serious flaw in my mind. I buy the ink refills, but I have never gotten more than 2 refills out of a pen before it breaks. I tend to fidget with my pens, which means some unnecessary un/screwing of the pen, but even without that, I usually find the pen loosens with writing, meaning I often have to retighten it and I would venture to guess it is tightening the plastic against metal that breaks it.By all means, don't let this keep you from buying these pens. They are still good. Just be aware they may not last you as long as you might hope.Zebra, if you could fix this construction flaw, I would give a 5-star rating without a second thought. However, a pen that is advertised as durable and refillable, yet can't seem to handle a refill or two before breakage, is a big weakness (and I take good care of my pens!).Update (5/15/21)I went to Zebra's website where they have the following under their "Contact Us" tab:"Zebra Pen Corp. offers a limited lifetime warranty and guarantees the performance of our writing instruments. If it fails to perform properly, please contact us for repair or replacement. This warranty is void in the event of abuse, or physical damage unrelated to the purchase and/or function of the pen. Service is subject to our discretion."I contacted them and within a couple days, someone had gotten back to me and said they would send a replacement!Still an issue with their pens' design in my opinion, but I'll up my rating to 5-stars for good customer service and standing by their warranty.

I am a BIG FAN of these pens. They are dependable, sturdy and sleek enough I am not embarrassed to use them with customers. They are dependable quality is great, the price is right. I know the pen is worth having since people keep stealing them. That’s why I have to buy lots.!
