Zebra Sarasa Clip 0.5 Retractable Gel Ink Pen, Rubber Grip, 0.5 mm, Vintage Colors, 10 Color Bundle (JJ15-5C-VI+JJ15-5C-VI2)

I love these pens! I had a set of 5 that I used regularly for journaling for almost 2 years before they dried out. Ordered a set of 10 and I’m happy to see the quality of the ink has been maintained with this new set. The “vintage” colors are more muted/not bright, but I think they stand out on paper just enough. The pens write smoothly, dry quickly, and are comfortable and lightweight. I’ll be ordering more to include the next time I gift a friend a journal!

I've ordered this set many times. Love the quality, feel on the paper, how they fit in my hand and the amazing colors. Worth the try.

One could say I am into pens. But that would be an understatement. I'm a little bit of a pen hoarder and a terrible pen snob. I had seen this set in my searching for my new favorite pen, but I didn't have any awesome memories of other pens I had owned made by this company. Finally my curiosity got the best of me. I ordered the set with very low expectations. Oh my goodness. These pens are 100% my favorite, and I don't see that changing -- ever. First of all, the colors are amazing. It's hard to even choose a favorite, but currently I'm really enjoying the dark red, green, and dark blue. But, every color writes equally well, and the brown and mustard colors are very special. Even the black makes me smile, not because of the color necessarily, but because of the incredibly sense of satisfaction I get from writing with these quality instruments. These pens write with the first stroke every time. There is zero skipping or blobbing. They are consistent. I write in my journal with them every day -- I write quite a bit. I also adore them for doing pen and ink art. They have a nice grip and a mechanically sturdy. I love these pens so much that I have purchased five sets over the past few months. Yup, five. I had purchased the mustard, green, and dark red individually at an art store, and I knew these were The Pens! I bought my first set and I loved them so much that I needed another set for work (I'm a teacher). Then, my daughter tried one and was hooked. So I got her a set. A fellow teacher also likes pens, and since I like to share, I got her a set also. And now, with secret santa coming up, I have a fifth set that will be part of my gift to her. Believe me when I say that if you like gel pens that write smoothly, consistently, and beautifully, these are the pens for you.

I like using these for my planner, since the size is so thin. It dries instantly and it doesn't smear when highlighted.

Creamy and vibrant colors

Gel reservoir is less than some competitors, but in my case these are more comfortable in the hand and provide just a bit more control when writing quickly than other gel pens I have used.

Great colors, the pens are lovely to write with, I don’t know about the longevity yet but I will update in a few months.There is no smudging nor bleed through even on thin paper. The design of the pens are also very aesthetically pleasing.

These pens are the best. I love the size, the soft grip, and especially the colors. There is excellent feedback (the scratchiness or smoothness of the pen across the paper) while writing, and the vintage colors are elegant and work well for correspondence, journaling, and in my planner. The 05 width is my favorite.
