Lucky #113 takes home the prize this morning:
Congrats Gayle! Here is what I need you to do: 1) Leave a comment on this post, and 2) email me at the address on the sidebar with your mailing address.
Thanks to all who entered. Have a happy 4th of July, and look for another giveaway next week.
I'll make no bones about it - I love this pen. Love it. And this is coming from the guy who thinks the 0.25mm Pentel Slicci is the bees knees, and lusts after the Uni-Ball Signo DX 0.28mm in brown black. Like I mentioned on the page at left, I need to do a better job of reviewing pens with a tip size larger than 0.5mm, so I grabbed this one on a whim from JetPens. As best as I can tell, this particular Uni-Ball model is most popular for the white, silver, and gold gel ink models, which are used mainly for scrapbooking. I went with a more traditional color for my first UM-153 purchase - the dark blue - and it is very nice.
From a feel perspective, the barrel diameter seems a bit wider than the Uni-Ball Signo DX, not by a great margin, but the weight is very similar. I would hope that a gel pen with an 1.0mm tip like this would write smoothly, but it is better than I could have anticipated. It just flows like the paper isn't even there, and the lines stay clean and there is no feathering or bleed to speak of. For a pen I grabbed almost out of the blue, I couldn't be happier, and I intend to try out a few additional colors in the future.

This giveaway is for the two Pilot FriXion Point 0.4mm erasable gel ink pens shown at right. I have a few duplicate colors, so one winner will take home both the purple and orange pens. Here are the rules:
1. Leave one comment on this post anytime between now, and Thursday night at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. You are limited to one entry. Feel free to link this giveaway on your blog, or share it with anyone you feel is a true pen addict. If you have a blog, I would love a link back, but it is certainly not required for entry into the contest.
2. For this contest, I will pick one winner at random from the comments section of this post. The comments will be numbered in the order they are received, i.e. the first comment is #1, the second #2, and so on.

3. The contest winner will be posted on Friday, July 3rd. The winner will have one week to email me at the address posted in the right sidebar.
