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’m a total pen snob and normally use thin Jetstream for everyday notes but thought I’d try something different (and cheaper!) for a change. These are beautiful! The colours are very subtle and unique, the flow feel is smooth and the dried finish looks like notes have been written with a thinner version of the fine uni ball eye or a pilot g-tec C4, maybe a fraction thicker line but still fine. The smoothness when writing is so much nicer than with a g-tec c4 which sometimes feels too needle like if you know what I mean. Plus this has a satisfying clicky top and a nice hinged clip bit. I haven’t dropped any yet so not sure how robust the tip is but the build quality overall is really nice. I can’t seem to find any refill components online but it seems like the kind of pen you could use for a long time. I can usually get 3 goes out of a Jetstream before the clicky top cracks but this seems much better quality. I wish you could get the dark greyish navy one in a multipack on its own as it’s the best grown up posh blue colour ink I’ve ever seen. The balance and hand feel is great, the barrel is a tiny fraction wider than I’d like but that’s really nitpicking. Super happy with the price of 10 for £10 as 7 are very useable colours. Not sure if I’ll ever use the dark red, burgundy or the sepia yellow as they aren’t enough of a contrast for highlighting and would be a bit weird to write long things with. They are all great unusual shades though. Ooof so happy!

It would be too thin for me if less than 5mm to write my journal. I have tried 4mm SAKURA pens. They are beautiful colours but not clear enough on the paper pages for my 42-year-old eyes..Great quality and smooth writing with no mess with ink. I like that the whole body shows its colour rather than only the top of the pen.As these ZEBRA SARASA are now my favourite pens for daily use, I even gave them as a present to my friend. They and someone who borrowed the pen for a moment instantly liked Sarasa.

THE BEST PENS EVER!I bought these pens because my favourite YouTuber Ruby Granger uses them and i have been dying to try them.These are now my favourite pens ever. The colours are soo beautiful and are true to the pictures.I also love the clip on the pens so you can clip them to your books or papers. The ink is smooth and consistent and it's a great deal when you buy them on sale.Highly recommend

I've had these a few years now, and they haven't dried up. Opened and used one today and still like brand new.Excellent range of coloursThinner nib than I'd like but very useable for journalling

I really like these pens. They have unusual colours which are a bit toned down. They write smoothly and are quite fine. They all had tip protectors on them and came well packaged.

Really good pens. Precise line and lovely subtle colours that aren’t too brash. These work very well with Tomoe River Paper, especially in my Hobonichi Techo. Be aware that they do require some drying time. They’re not as slow to dry as fountain pen ink but certainly not instant drying. Much like water-based fountain pen ink, they will smudge if wet.Somewhat pricey compared to other brands but worth it for the unique colour range, line precision and flow consistency. Perfect for journaling and simple sketching. I’ll be buying more and getting some in the standard colour range. Highly recommended!

Dull colours which are really pretty and written really well.

Great for journals! I do not recommend for everyday note taking. A Sarasa quality and performance
