Product Description
An ultra fine marker with smooth flowing ink that features superior water resistance, so once it dries, the ink will not smear, even if water is spilt on the page. Being light resistant makes the Pin a great art tool as work can be displayed and will not fade even under continuous exposure to light.

BEWARE! IT'S A PEN. NOT A TOY.
I needed a pen to transliterate English Dictionaries' entries into the Arabic script. The Arabic Script is simpler and more graphic, it is much better than the Roman Script in reading, writing, comprehension, and memorisation. Transliteration means the language stays the same. Only the recording symbols in writing change from the Roman Letters to Arabic Letters. I needed to do this because 45 years of learning and memorising from English Dictionaries, written in the Roman Script of course, has given me only a mere few thousand words of vocabulary, not enough to read or speak without the need to consult Dictionaries again and again.
Arabic Script is very beautiful. It is very soothing to the eyes and very peaceful and relaxiing to the mind. The only condition is you have to write it well. Arabic calligraphy has been famous throughout history and even today it is a genre of fine arts in the Orient.
However not everyone can be so good in writing well in the Arabic script. And I am no exception either. My writing is average only.
But I needed to keep these transliterated dictionary entries for the rest of my life. I also needed to distribute photocopies of my work among interested friends and acquaintances.
Considering the fact that my handwriting is only average, and the process of transliteration produces completely new shapes totally unfamiliar to the readers who may not have anything of the sort in their memory, I needed to do something to make sure that my writing remained legible to the reader. In fact it had to be more than legible to serve its purpose. It had to be attractive.
For that I needed a good pen. A very good one indeed, to make up for my own shortcoming of not being able to write better. This pen should be fineliner. It would have to be felt tip so I can give it an angle by rubbing. And its writing would have to be smooth. Its grip, ink flow, and other features should all be just right.
I couldn't make these determinations online so I went to Partners, now called Ryman Stationers and, one by one, checked dozens of pens to see their suitability for my purpose.
AND THIS PEN CAME ON TOP!
I bought a few and started my transliteration work. They proved even better than I initially expected them to be.
BUT THEY DON'T LAST LONG.
Because the felt tip is so fine and delicate it wears out very quickly and the metal bit starts scratching on the paper after only a few days of use. I have used up more than a dozen of them in about three months of work totalling about 6oo A4 size pages. I had to be extra careful with the pen all the time, making sure not to put too much pressure on it, more than its need of just to touch the surface of the paper.
IT IS ONE OF THE BEST WRITING PENS. BUT IT DOES LEAVE A LOT TO BE DESIRED IN TERMS OF DURABILITY.

(it's not a toy and it is irksome that I have to rate it as one).
As a piece of technical drawing equipment this fails as the ink runs out very quickly, as others have commented about unipin products generally. I bought two sizes but the 0.1 was the main problem, you can't get a rotring in 0.1 fibretip, perhaps it just isn't possible to make a good one in this size? ran out of ink to the point where the lines become patchy on the first and only drawing I have done with it, there was not much linework on this drawing it was very sparse and I had to abandon my attempts at hatching because of the pen.

I bought this to fill in very narrow windows on my timetable, to complete forms neatly, and for those rare occasions when I needed to write very small for some purpose.
And then, for no apparent reason, I noticed one day that the nib had all but disappeared. I don't know whether it was ground away or if it retreated up the metal part of the tip, and frankly I don't care. The bottom line is it failed at being a pen.
I've had it for a few months, using it only occasionally, and with great care. It's not like I've been scribbling great tomes with it, chiselling each full stop onto the page with a hammer.
Judging by the other reviews, this is a common problem, so don't be tempted to think, "Oh, it'll never happen to me..."
It's like the time I bought a cheap condom - I had great fun with it while it was working, until it broke, leaving me confused, then worried, and finally upset.
