Uni Jetstream EDGE 0.28mm Oil-based Ballpoint Pen, White Red Body (SXN100328W.15), Black

Fantastic pen, great ink flow, easy to hold and beautiful design

Very smooth flowing ink for such a fine point pen. More ink colours please!

Good construction, writes a crisp fine line without skipping. Very slightly scratchy writing experience but this is typical for such small nib sizes. Very good for technical drawing or fine shading

Great Item 👍👍

I like extra fine pens and I've used quite a few UNI branded writing pens in the past. But aside from a 0.18mm and 0.25mm technical drawing pens (which aren't really designed for everyday writing) none have given me such a fine line like this Jetstream model.First thing that you should know - the body of this pen is made from two materials; aluminium (the grip area) and plastic (the remaining barrel section - including the push button clicker). The pocket clip is metal and a well designed shape (the clip acts as a natural spring that returns back to its original position even if you over-extend it).Photo with sample writing shows my normal sized writing in contrast to how small I can write with this Jetstream (whilst remaining legible).Important: The pen can be a little 'scratchy' depending on the angle you hold it and how hard you press down. But for me, with my style of writing, it's OK for a pen nib this fine!Even with fast writing, overall the pen handled the speed pretty well with consistant thickness - although I did spot the occassional blank gap and the occassional miniscule blob of ink at the start of a new word (when you replace the pen down on paper), but nothing I would consider a deal breaker especially at the price point of just over £9. Had this pen been priced at £30+, then I would be more critical.However, there are a couple of design issues that I have in using the pen.1) The push button plunger that you click feels (and sounds) quite cheap - it's a little bit rough on the top edge and rattles quite a bit if you tap the pen. It also doesn't stay down if you turn the pen upside down. I'm aware this doesn't affect the writing performance, but it just contributes to a lack of quality that's comparable to budget ballpoint pens.2) Even though the pen is 'wedge' shaped, getting wider towards the nib, the aluminium grip section is quite slippery. It's not helped by the engraved parallel lines that run down towards the nib. I prefer to keep a light grip on my pens when writing and this just makes it easier for your finger to slowly slide down.Don't get me wrong, I like the thickness and shape of the pen. But a knurled or circular design on the grip would have been more practical in preventing my fingers slipping down. And as it stands, having to re-adjust my grip every so often makes the pen uncomfortable to use.

0.38 mm nib of my dreams. Ink flow is smooth and consistent, no thick splodgy scrawls. Excellent for my cursive penmanship, which can be as illegible as a gerbils dirty scratchings to both others and myself when using anything larger than 0.25mm.Vision loss no longer need be a risk when having to decipher my handwriting.Never thought I’d write clearly again after Muji discontinued their extra fine tip. Hooray. Thank you Uniball.

very bad quality. feels like scratching paper and the flow is not constant.

Great

Yes, you can write this small, and even smaller, not for fast writing, but for smooth writing.

I love thin pens, and this is amazing. Dries fast, doesn't bleed, easy to write with, perfect weight. Its so sad that refills are so expensive but try it out, its worth the price.

seems broken, think it's just to small a tip to write on paper, gets stuck a bit. gives very little ink which is also kind of nice but not why I bought this pen. It's really not clear to me if my pen is broken or not.

Its not a regular ball pen and you will surely be disappointed if you buy it expecting the performance of a regular pen.About me - I invest in stationery and buy unique products. I like the experience of getting new (& less known) pens and trying them out.About Uniball - Uniball is the world leader is pens and you may have used pens by this company. If not, please buy them and try - they are a delight to write with.About this pen - its a niche product with very fine tip (0.28 mm). Therefore the USP of this pen is its fine writing. And that's what you should buy it for. The weight is well distributed, the bottom being heavier that the top. And its very comfortable to hold.ProsWriters very smooth, like butter.The fine tip is a delight for those looking for a unique writing experience.Uniball quality shines through - as I said, they are world leaders in pensConsThe pen writes best at a particular angle; so you have to adjust accordingly.Like many ball pens, it takes a day or two to catch up and become smooth. Before that, you require patience. After that, its a joy to write!Since its a niche product, refill availability will be a problem. I plan to buy some from Amazon and stock up.Price is high - but its a niche product, not your regular 10-rupaye-wala-ball-pen-available-at-nukkad-shop.So if you know what you are getting into, buy it, give it a few days and enjoy the ride! Imagine the pen being an orchid - requires care and watering and will wither away in harsh conditions; but when it blooms, its a joy to watch!Hope the review will help make you an informed purchase decision. This pen is not for everyone!

This is not for everyone but if you appreciate hair thin lines then you will freaking love this pen. I received it and have barely let it out of my sight since. I love love love the super fine line of the .28. I tend to write with my pen in a more upright position — more like a sumi brush than a ballpoint — so for me this pen works very well. If you tend to hold your pens at a more acute angle to the page you may find it a bit skippy. 100% would buy again — new fav pen for sure.
