ENERGEL RTX American Flag pens
These were for a gift for a friend and they love the Energel pens. They were on sale, so the price was better than usual.

Don't
Do not buy these pens. I literally can't used half of them because they do not work and they leak. I have kept the pens in the container they came in and the bottom of the container is a mess of leaked ink. Plus the pens are covered in ink that I cannot remove so them my hands are covered in ink. I reached out to Pentel and I only got 4 pens and none of those pens even...

metal tip
The metal tip caethridge is excellent for people who write at an odd angle so other pens quit writing.

Great pens
Love the pens and giving back to the Wounded Warrior Program. Wish there was more $$$ going to the program. I will continue to look for items that give to this program from now on.

My favorite pen
It's all I buy now but your website is so miserable that it's impossible to find the color I want. Grrrrr.

Not the smoothest writing instrument
I was looking for something that could duplicate my favorite Tüf needle point gel pen. This Pentel version seems too fine a contact area to smoothly write script.

One of them already broke and I just got them.
I love the design but they are poorly made. The on/off tip at the top broke and I only had it for less than a week.

Pentel USA Pens
Very stylish patriotic-themed pens but maybe a bit too thick.
