[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Clip Black – 0.3mm

Posted by reudaly on February 11, 2020 in Review, writing instruments |

This week’s pen review is a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Clip – in a 0.3mm point with black gel ink – because they’re good like that. This one came from the JetPens black gel pen sample pack Jimmy bought me for Christmas.

The Sarasa Clip has a great black gel ink. This one comes in the 0.3mm point with a metal, cone tip. This pen has a clear plastic, demonstrator-type barrel with a black plastic plunger and clip. The barrel threading is on the inside, making the barrel smooth and ridgeless. The black rubber grip gives the pen extra comfort in long use. The ink is smooth and doesn’t smear much. It writes quite well. It’s refillable with the Zebra JF-0.3 Sarasa Gel Refill. This is a water-based ink but is fade resistant.
This pen is about 5.5″ long retracted and about 5.75″ long with the tip extended. This is a typical length for a retractable pen, and it’s well balanced and has a decent diameter. This has a color-matched rubberized grip to give the pen some ergonomics as well as a “seemless” look and feel. The clip is sturdy and strong even though it’s plastic with metal mechanisms.

The clip is the other fun detail. They call it a “binder clip”. It’s a spring-loaded, hard plastic clip matching the ink color. It is break-resistant and strong. It does secure well to a wide range of materials. This pen is refillable and economical for a good quality workhorse pen.

The Numbers.

1. How does it work?1 – This is a solid, utility pen. It’s inexpensive. It comes in several colors, styles, and point sizes.
2. Look and feel1 – It’s average length with a good diameter. It’s a good solid pen
3. Material1 – It’s an inexpensive utility pen. It is what it is, and it’s solid for what it is. The clip is plastic and strong.
4. Overall Design1 – It’s okay. It’s functional. It’s an average length retractable pen with some fun details.
5. Price Point0.5 – These things are relatively inexpensive – though have to be ordered through JetPens. They’re about $1.75 for the pen. So you can pretty much use these for the long term. There are refills available.
