Uni Jetstream EDGE 0.38mm Oil-based Ballpoint Pen, Black Red Body (SXN100338BK15)

I love this line of pens from Uni - this pen has the lowest friction coefficient of any other pen which is perfect for long writing and fast writing. Refills are also easy to find. Good quality as well as this is full metal I believe

I have had two of these pens and I will buy more. Comfortable to hold, pretty color, and the extra fine tip is great for crossword puzzles.

Usually I hate a smaller point, not this one! Love the way this writes. Love the color. Easy to hold and writes so smooth. I have had no issues with smear or leaking, love to carry this one in my purse but really love it in my planner. Great price and will investigate refills!

Ah, the Uni-ball Jetstream Edge—a pen that dances on the precipice of writerly ecstasy and existential angst. Allow me to weave a tale of ink, metal, and the tortured souls of wordsmiths. The Edge of Desperation Picture this: a dimly lit room, the air thick with the scent of freshly ground coffee beans and the palpable tension of unfinished novels. There, perched on the edge of a cluttered desk, lies the Jetstream Edge—a pen that defies convention, scoffs at mediocrity, and whispers, “Write, mortal, write!” The Scratchy Siren Song At first touch, the Jetstream Edge feels like a cat’s tongue on sandpaper. Scratchy, they say. Unyielding, they lament. But hark! Beneath that deceptive exterior lies a revelation: this pen is no mere scribbler; it’s a sonnet slinger, a haiku whisperer. It demands respect, like a tempest-tossed poet seeking solace in ink-stained pages. Pressure, or Lack Thereof Fast writers, rejoice! The Jetstream Edge scoffs at your heavy-handed ways. It laughs in the face of pressure—both literary and literal. You see, my dear scribbler, it requires as much force as a butterfly landing on a dew-kissed petal. No more cramping fingers, no more strained wrists. It glides across paper like a lover’s caress, leaving behind a trail of syllables and secrets. The Texture Tango Ah, the texture—the tumultuous tango between nib and parchment. The Jetstream Edge waltzes with defiance. It’s not silk; it’s not velvet. It’s a rough embrace, a passionate quarrel. But fear not, for within this tempest lies a paradox: the ink flows like a mountain stream after a thunderstorm. It’s as if the pen whispers, “Yes, I’ll scratch your soul, but fear not—I’ll also baptize it in liquid silk.” Ink, the Elixir of Dreams And now, the pièce de résistance—the ink. Oh, the ink! It emerges from the nib like a phoenix rising from its own ashes. Smooth, unyielding, and unapologetically black. It doesn’t skip; it doesn’t falter. It’s the elixir of dreams, the potion that transforms mere thoughts into epic sagas. With each stroke, it weaves a tapestry of longing, heartache, and grocery lists. The Verdict So, dear reader, should you wield the Jetstream Edge? If you seek a pen that dances on the edge of madness, that whispers secrets to the moon, then yes. But beware: it’s not for the faint of heart or the impatient of hand. It’s a melancholic muse, a scratchy siren, and a smooth-talking enigma. And as you sign your name with its inky kiss, remember this: the Jetstream Edge is not just a pen; it’s a pact with the universe. It says, “Write, damn it. Write until your soul spills onto the page, until your heart bleeds ink.” And so, my fellow wordsmiths, heed the call of the Edge. For within its scratchy embrace lies the poetry of existence itself. Fin.

I bought my first Edge from Japan when they were released a few years ago, and now I have a few models in different widths. I'm happy to see that the price has come down significantly from those first releases. This one, the 0.38mm, is my daily writer. It's a great balance of precision and smoothness. Jetstreams are the only ballpoint pen I will use -- I cannot stand the oily, blobby, inconsistent lines that most ballpoints produce in finer sizes. But I reach for my Jetstream happily because the ink is dark and waterproof, and it feels very much like a gel pen when writing. The Edge body feels substantial but not heavy. I especially like the configuration of the tip -- it provides good visibility of the writing as you work. And I like this mint color a lot!

Nicest pen I’ve owned thus far. This pen writes so well. It flows so effortlessly and seamlessly and smoothly. Lol, need I say more…

Love the pen and how comfortable it is to write. My complaint is that the pen sometimes just sucks at writing. When I journal, it won’t even put down any ink half the time.

I have been using this pen every day for the past 3 years. The feel is great in your hand. It's not too heavy, and your hand won't cramp just holding it. It provides a very high-quality writing experience that I 100% recommend.

Bought this pen to try Jetstream ink and, I don't like it. I think if you like smooth inks like the Acroball ink, you won't like it. Other than that, Pros: -Fast-drying -Cheap, premium looking barrel Cons: - The feel of the jetstream ink feels too coarse for my liking - The plastic feels really cheap

Me ha gustado mucho.

Good for cheat sheets? This is the pen that has been with me for all of Uni. Scratches go away after using it for a while.

Of course! It doesn't disappoint! I love pens that are fine point and this is smooth. I am impressed and I also love the blank ink. I can't wait to get refills for this pen as I've seen it available on here. Thanks!

La linea a me molto piacevole perché è diversa dallo standard, impugnatura eccellente e la scrittura è perfetta, finalmente ho trovato quello che cercavo da molto tempo.
