Uni Jetstream EDGE 0.28mm Oil-based Ballpoint Pen, Black Body (SXN100328.24)

If you’re looking for a high-quality, ultra-fine point gel pen, this is the perfect choice for you. It works well on various surfaces and has a unique pocket clip that sets it apart from other pens. I highly recommend it!

It is a great pen if you like super finepoint.

I bought this for the same reason as many others - comfortable metal body, fine line, refillable therefore reusable, attractive design, and the pen does all that.I use it for sketching and there's only so far you can "push" this pen; meaning that if you want faint construction lines this pen is perfect, however if you want to darken and reveal a sketch then you may want another, separate liner as this pen can only darken "so much" even with multiple passes. With different pens I've used this isn't so much the case but it is an opposite trade-off: for instance with a typical gel pen, your construction lines or guide lines will be much darker than with the Jetstream but when you do finally get to the final inking of a sketch, you can darken chosen lines much better. With this in mind, I do think the Jetstream has the edge as for me, faint thin line are what I wanted to sketch in, and it's probably why you're viewing it and checking reviews.The only caveat, and it's a big one for me which brings me to a point of frustration high enough that I might just stop using the Jetstream, is its inability to perform in my chosen sketchbook. The pen struggles with paper that is suitable for watercolor, to the point that you could make a single continuous stroke across the entirety of a page and get maybe a centimeter of ink to flow. It really is "that" bad. It's usable if you're concentrating really really hard and don't mind going back over the "trench" that the pen gouges into your paper, but it's not fun and makes a drawing look amateurish. This pen "looks" like, and actually performs like, a pen you'd use before a watercolor sketch, but I guess not.However, I switched to a different sketchbook, that is to say a typical sketching book with 80 gsm paper that has just a little bit of "bite," and it's fine. Somewhat inconvenient that I now have a pen and book that won't interact, but it's ok. In this arena the pen is pretty much perfect for what I want. I actually went ahead and bought the red and blue refills, I want other pen bodies so that I don't need to swap cartridges when I'm ready to accent in blue but that's my next point.The pen is expensive. Like, really expensive for what you get. This is Rotring territory, but certainly doesn't act like one. And the fact that there's no included refills is a huge minus in my opinion.All in all, if you can justify the price, get the right paper, and want an attractive "forever pen," this is it. Useful for sketching and I would presume for journaling or note taking it's even better. Overall for me is a 4* value though, because of the price and lack of refills.

The pen was delivered a few days ago and since then I got a lot of writing done with it. At first the thinness of the ink cartridge seemed a little strange. This is my first pen with such a thin line of writing. That strangeness wore off as I continued to write with it. It quickly grew on me and I love this pen. I don’t have many Uni pens but I am becoming a big fan. The pen is well constructed, feels solid, strong, a good weight, and well designed. The clip on this pen is another selling point. Great product and I’m a happy customer!

Bought this one for a gift for my niece, who like me, loves very fine writing pens. The pen looks sharp, ink is smooth and very fine point.

The pen has a nice design and ergonomic feel when grasping to use it. However, the ink flow is very bad, to the point that I can’t actually write anything with this pen since I got it 2 days ago. The bottom portion (by my inspection) is metal which is nice, but the top half is plastic which was disappointing when unpacking it. Overall, for the cost of a single pen its not worth the price.

If only this thing worked consistently, I would love it. I absolutely love the feel, look, etc.. And the first time I used it, I loved the way it wrote. I’m glad I didn’t write my review immediately after I tried it, because since the first time I used it, the consistency of the flow of ink has been spotty to say the least. I can’t even write a full word without letters missing in the middle. When I signed on just now, I was hoping to find that this was not a common problem and maybe I got a defective one, but it seems that a lot of people have had this issue. I’d say it was worth the $11 if it worked properly, but when it doesn’t, it’s worth nothing. When you are charging $11 for one pen, you expect not to have to worry about it being defective. That being said, it worked perfectly at first, so even if they did test every one, it likely would’ve passed. I’m hoping that it is just defective, because I love the design. I like it enough to give it another shot. If the replacement ends up working perfectly I will certainly change my review, but the seemingly large amount of people with the same issue is discouraging. I gave 3 stars because I am not sure if I can revise a review and I don’t want it to have a HUGE negative effect if the replacement is great, because if it worked, it would be 5 stars all around. Obviously tho, if it doesn’t work then it’s useless.

Writes beautifully with nice dark thin line. The pen is thin, so if you’re writing a lot, may need to consider using something to help prevent hands from cramping and to help with grip
