Best pens EVER!
These are literally my ALL TIME FAVORITE pens! I'm a lefty, and this pen will not smudge and leave pen juice on your arm. They write extremely smooth. Almost like gliding. I have them in every color!

Pre-opened box
Staples sold me a pre-opened box of pens, taped back together, with half of the pens already pressed into the open position. Thanks!

Super fine point without any skipping.
I’m someone who likes a different size pen tip, depending on what I am using it for. Most super fine points have issues with skipping or spotting, but the Sharpie S-gel .38 keeps a strong, dark, line whether you are printing or signing something fast. It maintains a fine point without any bleeding or blotting. Zero smudging on regular paper surface as it dries instantly...

These pens are a must buy!
The durable grip and ink are amazing! The comfort of the soft rubber for holding at an angle.the packaging is very secure and safe. The value of the amount the pens is is economical.

Great Pens
These pens are great for our reporters here at the News Register! They have very fine point writing that does not run or blot and you are able to write very small and clear.

Smooth, black, lasts forever, want more colors!
I love this pen. I love all .38 gel pens, but they tend to get scratchy at this small bearing. Not this one. It doesn't seem to catch on the paper, even at the greater angle which I hold my pens at. I wish it came in other colors which is why it's only 4 stars.

No smears
I received this pen a couple weeks ago and love the Intensely vivid ink colors. It makes writing left handed easier with the no smear, no bleed technology. The Contoured rubber grip is very comfortable to write with!

These are awesome pens!
I love these pens! They write so smoothly! My 5yr old Autistic granddaughter needed a band-aid one day and asked me to draw an owl on it first...so what's a Grandma to do?! She draws an owl on a band-aid!! I'm not a skilled artist but she was very, very happy! I let the ink dry for about a minute or so before I put the band-aid on her and she actually kept it on (which ...

Great pen
I really like this Sharpie gel pen. They are comfortable to hold in my hand and they write very smoothly. At first I didn't notice that there is a small piece of wax on the tips that have to be removed.

Very Fine Point
This is a very fine point gel pen that writes really smooth. I am heavy handed and the ink did not bleed thru the notepad I was using nor did it smear. Pen has a rubber grip towards the bottom and is comfortable to write with.

Love Love These!!
The Sharpie Gel Pens are fantastic! I love the fine point, plus the smooth feel when writing, as so often you get with Sharpie products. I had not yet heard of these, but we will continue purchasing these for our business and personal use.

Great pens
As a person who journals, I love a good pen. Something fluid that flows easily across the page. The ink in the pens arent spotty and seems they will last a while.
Handwritting is becoming a lost art. Happy to have these tools at my disposal.

Nice Pen but...
This Sharpie Gel pen is lightweight with a comfortable grip. It’s a nice pen but it’s not a smooth write. Pen feels as though is “cutting” thru the paper instead of gliding across it.
The pen is retractable and has an ultra-fine writing tip. The ink does not bleed or run which is a good thing.
I would recommend this product.

This pen glides
I love this series of pens. The look gets you at first, with its black and chrome allure, and that makes you want to pick it up. It’s weight is evenly balanced, and the grip is the perfect circumference. It is soft to the touch, but not spongy- making it comfortable to hold, all by the time you’re ready to write. When you do, the fine point gel glides with a deep black ...
