CR01 Ceramic Rollerball Pen Matte Black

It's a very well made pen, thick enough for me to grab onto for long writing sessions. Ink flow is fine, and they dry very quickly. The color of the pen is nice, reminded me of my Tombow pens. It has a rubber grip so it's very comfortable when using it. The roller ball is made out of ceramic so they pen rolls a little bit smoother when writing. The weight is also very balance, you can feel the weight, but the pen is balance, and not heavy enough to cause fatigue.

I love OHTO pens, they have a really satisfying weight to them that makes you feel like you're using a premium product, even though most of their line is very reasonably priced. This pen holds up to that standard, cool metal with a pleasing solidity to it.

I had listened to a review of this pen which seemed to rate it only marginally well. I wanted to try a ceramic rollerball so got one despite the tepid review, and I am so glad I got one. I'm immediately hooked by the overall writing experience. The weight and feel of the pen itself is wonderful. Nice quality feel to it. The ink flow is incredibly consistent and smooth, and the line quality is just beautiful -- dense and sharp with the lightest stroke. Love it. I will most definitely grab another of these. Especially at this price point, why not?

This pen feels amazing in the hand, writes beautifully, and dries quickly. I got this initially because of the clip that allows it to ride all the way inside a notebook, but it gets regular use at my desk due to how nice it writes.

Nice weight and sleek. Replaced ink cartridge with a brand/style I prefer.

Gorgeous pen. All black (very dark grey to be precise). Pen's top makes a nice click, though just a tiny tiny bit woobly. Soft touch holding part. balanced right in the middle when closed. Pin so far seems very robust. Writing is typical ohto - smooth. I like the fine 0.5mm lines. Pure pleasure both as a writing tool and a fidget toy.

Outstanding writing instrument Smooth stroke Great balance in your hand

Nice pen. Feels great in the hand, but the water-based ink bleeds through paper like crazy so don’t expect to use both sides of the sheet. It even bled through my moleskine notebook, but I’ve found that paper particularly prone to feathering with my fountain pens, so I’m not too surprised.
