オートAuto GS01-S7-OR Oil Ballpoint Pen GS01 Orange

I was looking for an inexpensive, sturdy, all metal, everyday pen. Thought I’d try this. WOW! It’s really all metal! Even the screw/threads are metal ! And made in Japan for $7 !!! I’ve used the zebra f701 off and on for years but wanted something different. The f701 is also an all metal pen which costs $7 but made in Indonesia (if the Japanese Ohto is $7 the f701 is way overpriced…should be $3). I also have used the metal Parker jotter but that’s $20, made in France and has a weak point…held together with a flimsy plastic screw insert. The Ohto might be the best all metal pen available for the price! I’ll be buying a few more.

It doesn’t smudge which is great being a lefty. It’s a smooth at the base so I have to move my pressure a little bit up from the base, but other than that, great effing pen. Will be looking at other pens for both writing and drawing

I love this pen. It feels great to write and draw with. The ink is smooth with no skipping. Very fine line and i can watercolor over it without the ink moving.

This is a nice pen with a slim profile.

This is a difficult pen to review--much depends on preference. It is metal and feels substantial, but the knock/clicker rattles when it is depressed (but not when it is retracted!) which may worry some folks. The body is a bit on the skinny side--which a younger me would have loved, but the older me struggles with. The faceted sides look very nice and love the orange color. The tip is very functional but a little odd looking, but I like the overall aesthetic. The 0.7 refill is very, very fine--writing about as fine as my Jetstream 0.5 or Zebra Sarasa 0.5 tip so if you like broader lines you may not like it. I like fine lines so that works for me.

This pen is great! I love that the barrel has flat edges so it doesn't roll around my desk. The click is really satisfying. The ohto refill is very dark and smooth. I personally like their .7 refill but the .5 does just fine! I recommend this pen for anyone looking for an entry into the world of nicer pens or metal barrels.

I have several OHTO pens and like most... basically they are like most ballpoint pens but due to the metal construction, has a better feel which I like... doesn't feel like a cheap ballpoint. The ps107np that's included with this pen is horrible if you have used the .5mm gel (PG105NP) before. The ps107np has a lighter ink and doesn't roll as well, I've also seen other post where the ink pools on the tip. I haven't see the ink pool on the tip as I just received the pen but would have avoided buying this one if it was clear it had the ps107np included, horrible to me.

The click of the pen feels nice and has a strong spring. Weight is nice and writes nicely.
