I placed my order Monday and a lovely little white padded envelope arrived today. Overall I am quite pleased with everything. I don't know that I will reorder the .3mm Slim Knocks again but may rather go with the .4mm tip ( .38mm / .4mm seems narrow enough though for my tastes). After years of wet mediums, broads and stubs, I find that more of my writing these days is in the form of editing documents and writing marginalia on meeting agendas and have been moving back to fine / x-fine nib pens. My problems is that since I do so very little actual day to day writing, my fountain pens have a habit of trying to dry out on my (my desk is in the server room and it is very low humidity in there). I have been quite pleased with the .38mm G-2s that I have been using for a few weeks and decided to hit Jetpens up for some other options.
Left to right:
- Dr. Grip Putimo Mini Ballpoints in blue and 'red' (more hot pink to my eyes), both with .7mm black ink. Itty bitty tiny Dr Grips; what more is there to say??? ;D
- Hi-Tec-C Slim knock gel ink pens in pink .4mm and blue-black .3mm. The .4 is quite smooth but the .3 is a *little* sharp feeling and has a bit slower ink flow. I like the blue-black ink though. The clips are very tight and don't want to work on the placket of my work shirt (a heavy synthetic wicking golf shirt).
- Pockel gel ink pens in .5 mm pink and light blue. Seem to be the exact size and shape as the Mini G-2s, just different colors. The light blue is a clean turquoise.
- Petit1 fine fountain pen in blue-black. Basically, this is a fountain pen equivalent of the Fisher Bullet pen. Very small, but nice diameter and feels good in the hand. Reminds me a lot of my 40-50 year old Sheaffer Tuckaways, but without any of the terror of loosing one.
- G-3 .38mm gell rollerball. Basically a capped version of the G-2. Nice diameter and the cap clips very securely on both ends.
