Pilot Precise V5 Stick Rolling Ball Pens, Extra Fine Point, Green Ink, Dozen Box (25104)

These pens are excellent!!! I started using the Pilot Precise Stick Rolling Ball pens (V5 (fine) and V7 (extra fine)) when they were first introduced, and I discovered the V5 Green rolling ball pen then and have been using it as my pen of choice since that time. I use the other colors, too, but the green is spectacular. The rolling ball performs superbly in both widths. It can be difficult to find an extra fine rolling ball pen that doesn't skip or have other ink delivery issues but Pilot's Precise Stick Rolling Ball V7 has no such issues. The V5 pens are also faultless in their ink delivery. All of the colors are good - nicely saturated and clean on the page. Every once in a while a pen will develop a leak - airplane travel can sometimes result in a leaking issue - but out of the thousands of these pens that I have owned and used over many decades, this leaking situation occurs in a tiny percentage of uses. I raise it because when one of the pens does leak, your fingers could carry the ink color for a day or so. Very rare, but a teeny possibility. Do be sure to keep the cap on when not in use and push the cap in until it clicks. I have fancy (expensive) fountain pens, some with cartridges and some requiring bottle filling, as I like liquid ink. As much as those expensive pens are fun to use, these Pilot Precise V5 and V7 Stick Rolling Ball Pens are my go-to writing instruments 365 days a year.

This has been my favorite brand of pen for several years now. I used to buy the black version, but I needed something that stood out more at work. Green is my favorite color so I made the switch and I couldn't be happier. The ink is smooth and flows well regardless of writing in print or cursive. It doesn't smudge after a few seconds of drying time, even when highlighted over. I like the bright green, which is the same as the plastic of the pen. Other brands, and even different models of the same brand are not as vibrant or are different than the color I believed I was getting. This is a simply a nice and comfortable pen to write with, be it long letters or short notes.

Essential equipment if you do a lot of writing or grading. Very smooth writing. Beautiful dark green color. The ink flows fairly generously, so it is easy for it to bleed through standard 20 lb paper. I go through a box of these a year and love them.

Smooth writing with bold bright green ink with no skipping. What else could you want.

Green ink is not just a color—it’s a mood, a murmur, a rebellion wrapped in elegance. It doesn’t shout like red or conform like black. It meanders, like ivy across stone, like thoughts that bloom in the mind. With every stroke, it evokes growth, renewal, and the thrill of something just a little unexpected. There’s a certain magic in watching green ink unfurl across the page. It’s the color of secrets kept in mossy woods. It carries the freshness of spring and the depth of forest shadows. When your pen releases that first ribbon of emerald, it feels like you’re writing with life itself.

I've used these Pens for years - extra fine - since green is my signature color, I buy this one. Don't use ballpoints. Amazon has so many assortments. You are missing something by not trying this great writing instrument.

Great pens. I use them to corect all of my students' papers (because green is better on the psyche than red... However, they only get 4 stars because they leak after being on an airplane, even though one ad I saw says they're "airplane safe." Similar pens of other brands don't leak midair, so apparently the problem can be fixed. However, Pilot is the only brand I've found that has boxes of green pens that aren't ballpoints -- and I do go through a lot of them!
