Quick Clicks: The Zebra bLen emulsion ballpoint pen

This white-on-white aesthetic is pretty darn cool, and I'm glad it's catching on. So, how is this emulsion ink ballpoint from Zebra? Pretty good! A little too fine, but pretty good!

***This Video Is 3 Years Old*** The Current 2023 Zebra "blen" Gel Pen is 0.7 Now Which Is Really Nice To Write With.

[@mallowpuff5]

Gel pens write wider than ballpoint. 0.5mm gel is probably more like 0.7mm ballpoint. That’s why the 0.28 jetstream ballpoint pen was advertised as the finest pen available cause its finer than the gel equivalent!

Wikipedia says, "Oki Sato (佐藤 オオキ, Satō Ōki, born 24 December 1977) is a Japanese designer, architect, and the founder of Nendo."

There seems to be a counterweight mechanism. When I wiggle it back and forth in my fingers like a batter wiggling his bat, then stop, the pen continues to wiggle for a second.
I found it a little odd to write with. A very weighty pen. Very easy to draw straight lines with, but cursive did not seem to look right. Great ink though.
Worth a buy if you want to try something new, or draw lots of atraight lines. Looks, feels like a nore expensive pen than it is

I think there is some brass in the grip section of the pen where your fingers go. It does give it a nice weight. I don't think they're making these in ballpoint any more, though. The site has only had .7mm gel versions for a long while now. :-/

you bought this at a kinokuniya

[@inkdependence]

That could be it. Maybe in Dallas? We don't have one locally, unfortunately.

Hi! Does zebra blen has the same body diameter then sarasa grand? I struggle to fit the blen on my midori pen loop, the sarasa grand looks thinner, but I´m just guessing.

[@inkdependence]

I can't find my Blen, actually. I may have given it away. The Sarasa Grand is smooth metal instead of the Blen's matte plastic, so it might slide in more easily?
