Pilot Juice 0.38 mm Grape Review

Pilot Juice

The Pilot Juice is one of the best gel ink pens to enter the market this year. I was very happy with it when I first reviewed the 0.5 mm Juice, and even more happy to see that Pilot released the full line with an 0.38 mm tip. Micro tips for everyone!

The things I enjoyed in the 0.5 mm model hold true with the 0.38 mm. The line is sharp and smooth, the barrel is comfortable, and the wide range of available colors is fantastic. Most importantly, you can get this pen for $1.65. This is the point where I complain about not having a range of pens like this on US store shelves. It can't be because of the price - what is keeping this pen from hoping on a boat and coming over?

Maybe Pilot should share the greatest pen website ever (Update: No longer available) with its US customers and see what they think?

I present to you David Gedge, one of the great songwriters of my generation:
