PentelEnerGel Deluxe RTX Retractable Liquid Gel Pen, Medium Line, Metal Tip, Sky Blue Ink, Box of 12 (BL77-S)

Pentel Energel are my go to for gel pens, and this violet is the best shade. I love these pens in all colors, but being able to get a pack of specifically violet is the best. I haven't even gone through the first pen's worth of ink, and I still have eleven that haven't been used. Everyone knows Pentel is one of the top brand for writing utensils and there's no change at all here. 10/10 would buy again, and I always recommend Pentel for other pen lovers.

Opens like a ballpoint pen;Works like an old fashioned rapidograph, except there are no ink splotchesI like a very thin point, and get the 0.03mmIf you like, or need a thicker tip, I’ve also purchased the 0.05mm & 0.07mm

Love these pens, they write smooth and last better than others I've tried.

Comes in the box as expected and beautiful ink.

I LOVE these pens. I won 't use anything elseI introduced them to my son and now he feels the same way.

Sometimes they don’t write

I happen to be addicted to Ultimate Killer Sudoku puzzles and will spend 3-4 hours at a time working in a book. Needless to say, my writing utensil must be perfection. I need a very comfortable grip on a smooth-flowing pen, and I don't want blotches or smears in the number grids. When I first got serious about UKSudoku, I experimented with many different types/styles/colors of pens before finding Pentel Energel .07 in black ink.This specific pen facilitates ease of writing, clean print, and it's easy on the eyes. It's also long lasting. I'd been using this pen exclusively for years until just recently when I also tried the Pentel Energel .07 with the removable cap. Though the ink seems to last longer in the pen with the cap, this retractable model is still more comfortable for ongoing use.

Only pens my friend will use for teaching. So these must be great.
