pilot 6 PENS Bravo Liquid Ink Marker Pen, Bold Point, Black (PIL11034)

Fun to write with, great looking results. Handy to have all over the house.

I absolutely love these pens! The color is very black, dries quick when writing! Passes the smear test! They are my favorite pens for making a bold writing! Great value for cost! Would and will purchase again!

If you have eyesight problems this is the pen for you. Dark ink, easy to use. This is the best pen I ever used, moves very smoothly and no ink spots.

Love these pens; dark ink and smooth writing g

First impression is that this is a nice pen. It creates a line which is bold but not leaky. The ink seems to stay mostly in place as laid down, on some paper not very much better than newsprint. The tip glides smoothly over paper, and it is reasonably comfortable to write with. But it is weirdly short. From tip to butt, this pen measures 5-3/16" long, compared to an older Sanford pen which measures about 5-3/4" long. For reference, a Sharpie fine point marker measures 5-3/8" long. So this pen is a half-inch shorter than you are likely accustomed to. It's barely comfortable to hold and feels insubstantial. It feels weird! Is this a case of shortchanging the consumer, or is there another reason for selling a significantly shortened version of the Pilot pen?
