Pentel TRJ50-C Tradio Puraman Blue

I love these pens.

I love this pen so much. I use it for practically almost everything.

I love the feel of it in my hand and paper

Best pen to draw with..it has a sharp edge.. used to buy them in Japan. Not cheap but worth it.

I just love them as a go-to medium tip sketch pen. Note that they do scatter little ink dots when you write or draw on densely textured paper, such as watercolor papers, so if you don't like that I recommend use on drawing and standard notebook/printer paper. I love the effect of the tiny ink splatters around my sketch lines though. I also use them for regular writing and have loved these tips forever.They do take the Pentel MLJ20 refills, which I purchase in a box of 12 on Amazon, also pictured.

I love a fine-point pen but this one does not work for me. It has a fine nib that is like a felt point and splits when writing almost like a calligraphy pen. It's not good for my purposes but may work for others.

I really like the way this tip works allowing you to vary some of your line weight from almost fine to very fine. I use this pen for product design sketching, and I really like it for note taking too if I need to. There are a lot of great pens out there, but I found this one in Japan on a whim, and it's become one of my favorite pens. I've tried many different types of pens since my job pays for pretty much anything I want to try, and I now prefer this over more expensive options such as Copic pens (which I also like). This pen has refills as well which is great. I try to avoid completely disposal pens even if they're nice for drawing. If you're wondering, the Tradio MLJ20 refills work on this pen. You should be able to find them for around $3-4, but it varies in the States.

Writes smooth, cheap as heck and there’s plenty of refillable resources here on Amazon. What’s not to love? I used this for the first time back in 2018 and I knew from the first pen stroke that this was my all time favorite pen. I have since used it to scribble journal entries, fill out thank you cards, script post cards, write stories. I never have to worry about it leaking in my pocket and it’s neb is always properly soused and ready to blot.
