Zebra PenF-301 Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Stainless Steel Barrel, Bold Point, 1.6mm, Black Ink, 1-Pack

I have low vision so I've searched extensively on Amazon for the boldest of the bold pens and have landed upon the Zebra F-301 1.6mm and the BIC Velocity 1.6mm as the boldest pens available.BIC Velocity Bold Ball Pen, 1.6mm, Black, 12ct (VLGB11-Blk)http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004F9QBDC/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_2Both the BIC Velocity and the Zebra F-301 are great pens, but in the end I prefer the BIC Velocity. I've used both at work for the last 3 months and have found that the BIC writes smoother on paper and isn't as "scratchy" as the Zebra (I don't want to give you the impression that the zebra is scratchy in general way in relation to the majority of pens, it's a really, really great pen, just in comparison to the BIC is a little more scratchy). Also, the BIC is slightly but noticeably bolder than the zebra despite both being 1.6mm.The Zebra's metal construction and look is much better than the BIC's plastic, they're just really nice, professional looking pens, they look great in the shirt pocket and look and feel like they would cost much more than they in fact do. The BIC's are cheap plastic, not "professional" looking, but hey, for my purposes as someone who needs to write fast and with a bold line, they are preferred.I haven't had any issues with ink leakage or breakage with either pen by the way, and that's coming from someone who has pens in his shirt pocket all day long and constantly takes the pen out and puts it back in

Almost impossible to find at local stores.I’ve been using a Zebra pen since 1992 and was glad to find the bold type

These are small ball point pensWrite very fineNo smearsWrite upside downExpensive but worth the priceHard to find in stores around here so Bezos’ team is my vendorPrompt friendly serviceGreat quality and value although pricey they are worth it and come in blue or black

Really disappointed in these pens.... I've used this brand in the past and liked how comfortable the barrel is, how "thick" the ink is and that they write really well-----EXCEPT THIS BOX. I just opened them today. I am in back-to-back meetings all day every day and still take notes on pen/paper and write a lot. While I was taking notes, the pen would keep fading out. I "scribbled" on another piece of paper and still didn't write....this has happened all day today and I've already thrown away 5 of them. JUNK. I will not ever buy these again. Really disappointed in the quality of these pens. Updated: Well, now I've thrown out every pen in the box. They don't write more than 2 or 3 sentences at a time. Total Junk.

It's a solid all around pen. It fills a niche that I haven't seen anyone else do, which is combining 1)super thick 2)ballpoint 3)click and 4)clip. I know it's advertised as a metal pen, but it's so thin it gives the same vibe as veneer. That said, I'd trust it not to put an ink stain through my pants pocket like a Bic Cristal pen did. They write really smooth and the clip is snug enough to stay attached to shirts/pants/aprons etc. So they're great for moving and writing, but I wouldn't say EDC material unless you're swapping in new ones every so often.

My favorite pens to write with.

At first use, this was the BEST pen I’ve ever used. But big problem, the ink flow. It writes a sentence or 2 beautifully then the ink stops flowing. Then you stop, scribble, and shake until the ink starts flowing again for another sentence or 2. Then stops again (like it’s running out of ink but it’s not). SO FRUSTRATING! I hated sharing this bc I so loved this pen WHEN IT WORKS but absolutely loath it in between.P.S….it wasn’t just 1 pen, it was every pen in the entire box. SO DISAPPOINTING!!!!

These pens are wonderful. I love writing pens I prefer a broad line pen. And a good one is hard to find but these ones were very nice smooth flowing ink. Nice to hold in the hand. Wonderful.
