I get reader requests from time to time to help identify pens or pencils. Sometimes I am quick with an answer, and sometimes I need the help of the Pen Addict readers. Take a look at this one and let me know your thoughts.
The details: It is a several decades old ballpoint, with Germany on the clip and an intricate script M on the top of the pen. Pictures below...
If you have any ideas please leve a note in the comments. Let's figure this thing out!
The Uni Mitsubishi Pin Pen was one of the most requested items at JetPens, and we were finally able to stock them a few weeks ago. I personally have been wanting to load up on them for a while after getting my first one from Carmen’s Great European Vacation nearly two years ago.
For those of you familiar with the Sakura Pigma Micron, the Uni Pin is very comparable. The pigment ink is water proof and fade resistant, and lays down as clean of a line as you can imagine with its felt tip. The written review above is of the 01 (0.28mm) blue ink model, and I am really pleased with it. The tip feels firm, and the lines are sharp. The shade of blue is darker than both the Sakura Pigma Micron and the Sharpie Pen, which I like. Uni even managed to smooth out the ridges in the grip area so they don’t dig into your fingers like some other pens.
The Uni Mitsubishi Pin comes in three tip sizes - 01 (0.28mm), 02 (0.33mm), 03 (0.38mm) - each available in black, blue, or red ink. There is also an oil-based ink model made to write on plastic, glass, or fabric which I have yet to test.
If you are a fan of felt tip or drawing pens, these are well worth trying out.
Super huge thanks to Geminica for all of her great reviews this week while I was out on vacation! If anyone else is interested in guest posting at The Pen Addict, feel free to send me an email.
