I love these pens. I am a student, and have to take a lot of notes and write a lot of papers. I'm also older, and I have a bit of carpel tunnel in my right wrist. The Sarasa Bold (1.0) is the only pen I can write with for hours without fatigue in my hand and wrist. My only wish is that they were refillable! There is a Sarasa refillable, but it only comes in Medium point (0.7), which I'm afraid won't give me the same smooth performance as the Bold. Maybe I'll try one just to check it out...

I'm in the medical field and found the grip too hard with extended use. I often need to line-out parts of forms and ink always "gums" up on the end of the point. Sometimes this would even occur with regular use. One pen lasted me almost two weeks, which is considerably shorter than other gel pens I've used.

I have never before found any pen that writes until all the ink was used up. This one does. No wasted ink here, and they last a fairly long time. I use the 1.0 version, which uses ink faster, but they still last several weeks each if used just casually.

I've been using these Sarasa pens for years. The ink is solid and intense, the pen is comfortable to hold, and the tip rolls very smoothly. These are my favorite pens for note-taking, diary-writing, etc.
