Tombow ABT N65 Dual Brush Pen - Cool Grey 5

📝 ‘The Dual Brush Pen is a water-based marker with water-soluble ink that can be blended and diluted with water. It features a brush tip and a fine point bullet tip’.IMO, you generally get what you pay for when it comes to this type of product and experience, the type of work, paper texture & grade all play a part.Usually a Goldilocks type of moment for me, some are too hard and/or scratchy, some too soft and some well…maybe just about right.For that reason, I always ‘try it & see’, when there is the opportunity to buy a single item because it can be an expensive hobby!It was like being back in time in a sweetie shop, exploring the 100+ different colours in this range and I absolutely love this…the colour, the way the two tips work and I hope Santa will be thinking of a couple more, next month (at the time of writing)!One end is a flexible soft brush-like tip for a more sweeping stroke, with the other one handy for when more definition is required.The tips have held without splaying or fraying and there is no sign of the pen running dry, in my experience so far.ooOoo~ TOMBOW~ ABT DUAL BRUSH PENCOLOUR: PORT RED/757‘Made in Vietnam’ooOooLarger than most in my kit, the dual-ended pen measures around 19 cm in length and is elegant in black with white contrast. The coloured cap at one end and the opposite end ‘stripe’ next to the thin cap is indicative of the colour shade within, especially useful if you have more than one. The COLOUR NAME is not on the item.There is no shirt clip but a little ridge on the large cap (image below refers) stops the rigid plastic-type, round barrelled pen from rolling around the table. The caps handily fit over or slides in the other end for safe keeping, when in use.Both caps pull off and return with a satisfactory click. It is wise to take some time replacing the cap centrally so as not to damage the tips.There is no scent in use, to my nose.Online clips are available to show the versatility of this product, far better than I can, and it is possible to download a colour wheel from the manufacturer website, also at the time of writing.Believed to be correct at the time of writing, the complete colour chart is:CODE ~ COLOUR NAMEN00 ~  BLENDER 020 ~ PEACH025 ~ LIGHT ORANGE026 ~ YELLOW GOLD027 ~ DARK OCHRE055 ~ PROCESS YELLOW062 ~ PALE YELLOW076 ~ GREEN OCHRE090 ~ BABY YELLOW098 ~ AVOCADO126 ~ LIGHT OLIVE133 ~ CHARTREUSE158 ~ DARK OLIVE173 ~ WILLOW GREEN177 ~ DARK JADE192 ~ ASPARAGUS195 ~ LIGHT GREEN228 ~ GREY GREEN243 ~ MINT245 ~ SAP GREEN249 ~ HUNTER GREEN277 ~ DARK GREEN296 ~ GREEN312 ~ HOLLY GREEN346 ~ SEA GREEN373 ~ SEA BLUE443 ~ TURQUOISE451 ~ SKY BLUE452 ~ PROCESS BLUE476 ~ CYAN491 ~ GLACIER BLUE493 ~ REFLEX BLUE515 ~ LIGHT BLUE526 ~ TRUE BLUE528 ~ NAVY BLUE533 ~ PEACOCK BLUE535 ~ COBALT BLUE553 ~ MIST PURPLE555 ~ ULTRAMARINE565 ~ DEEP BLUE603 ~ PERIWINKLE606 ~ VIOLET620 ~ LILAC623 ~ PURPLE SAGE636 ~ IMPERIAL PURPLE665 ~ PURPLE673 ~ ORCHID676 ~ ROYAL PURPLE679 ~ DARK PLUM685 ~ DEEP MAGENTA703 ~ PINK ROSE723 ~ PINK725 ~ RHODAMINE RED743 ~ HOT PINK755 ~ RUBINE RED757 ~ PORT RED761 ~ CARNATION772 ~ BLUSH800 ~ BABY PINK815 ~ CHERRY835 ~ PERSIMMON837 ~ WINE RED845 ~ CARMINE847 ~ CRIMSON850 ~ PINKISH CREAM856 ~ CHINESE RED873 ~ CORAL879 ~ BROWN885 ~ WARM RED899 ~ REDWOOD905 ~ RED912 ~ PALE CHERRY925 ~ SCARLET933 ~ ORANGE942 ~ TAN946 ~ GOLD OCHRE947 ~ BURNT SIENNA969 ~ CHOCOLATE977 ~ SADDLE BROWN985 ~ CHROME YELLOW990 ~ LIGHT SAND991 ~ LIGHT OCHRE992 ~ SAND993 ~ CHROME ORANGEN15 ~ BLACKN25 ~ LAMP BLACKN35 ~ COOL GREY 12N45 ~ COOL GREY 10N55 ~ COOL GREY 7N57 ~ WARM GREY 5N60 ~ COOL GREY 6N65 ~ COOL GREY 5N75 ~ COOL GREY 3N79 ~ WARM GREY 2N89 ~ WARM GREY 1N95 ~ COOL GREY 1[9 images attached]

Use these pens to highlight important texts. Smooth and doesn’t bleed

Reasonably good pen but not a lot better than a regular felt tip to be honest so not really worth the money

It really makes my writing fancier I love it

The pens unfortunately didn’t turn out to be as usual Tombow pens. It is almost as if they have been used before I received them – they’re quite dry. Rather disappointing.

Tombow pens we're always thought of as being one of the better quality, more expensive brands. And while there is nothing terribly wrong with this pen, I just don't think it's as good as similar pens from the Uni pen range. Coverage isn't as good, it smudges more and costs more then Uni pens. I won't be buying this again

thanks

Just what I ordered.
