Here's a distinctive, durable pen that looks great in every situation. It's the Gel Ink Metal Ballpoint Pen from Mark's, featuring an ultra-smooth ceramic-tipped rollerball refill in 0.5 mm width. Unlike other quick-drying, fine-tipped pens, Mark's metal gel pens make extremely dark, skip-free lines. The tip is needle-shaped, but it's surprisingly smooth.

This pen is available in several colors, but the body of each one is the same, with an aluminum barrel and brass mechanical parts. A large, round button on the back retracts the tip into the nose cone, protecting it from damage while you go about your day.

The replacement cartridge is an OHTO PG-105NP.

Made in Japan.
