on July 19, 2016

I've been using the Zebra pens for years. Unfortunately, I only like blue ink so your company should make more pens with blue ink. But, lately I've been unable to find green pens but even your website states you have green ink refills but when you go to purchase a pen it's only showing black, blue and red. I think if your not going to have it readily available then someone needs to review the pens and refills. Also, where can I get a F401 pen everyone keeps talking about. I have the F301's and the F701 but would really like to try a F401 with blue ink.

Really like the 301. Having said that, I don't care for the plastic (threaded) barrel. Didn't see any reviews on the 701, does it also have the plastic threaded barrel or is it solid metal? I carry mine in my work apron and it outlasts plastic pens by far but they do break at the plastic. Is the 701 any larger in the grip? Again greatest pen I've ever used and will continue to purchase them as they break but would prefer completely metal barrel.

Love, love, love this pen

Love, love, love this pen. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with it. I believe whomever has experience any sort of problem with it, must have bought a knock off somewhere. There are so many praises sung within these reviews that all I have to say is Here! Here! I'm in perfect agreement with all of you who love this pen. Thank you Zebra...word of caution... please never stop making this pen, you might have a stampeed of unhappy customers! Truly top of the line without spending a fortune.

When I originally starting using the F-301 (7MM) 10 years ago, it performed GREAT! Now, the pen and refills are totally inconsistent within 2 weeks of purchase. The ink skips and does not leave an even flow. By the time I finish making an entry in my flight log, it looks as if the ink is drying up. Did someone switch suppliers and ink formula?

My first F-301 was perfect. Even after being run over, it kept writing; so i started buying them. However, two of my recent pens have simply broken off where the plastic grip meets the steel tube. Maybe Zebra changed manufacturing parameters. In any case, Zebra's warranty requires return postage (almost the cost of the pen) or an online discount. Neither option fits well with a superior pen manufacturer.

Looking at Jackie's comment I would have to agree. This pen has very little for improvement. After 9 years in the military I refuse to pick up another pen. I have found, in my current profession, that the 301 holds strong and true. The flow of the ink is smooth, there is no mess or smudge, and I have yet to have a refill fail on me. The button coming loose is a minor annoyance but can easily be over looked. In fact, I just purchased an order of refills for my entire department because we all swear by Zebra's 301. I can't wait to get the nerve to try the 701!!!! Keep up the good work Zebra. 5 stars for certain.

This pen is great for its fine point and durability, but for writing, the ink goes in and out. I constantly find myself needing to rewrite what I just wrote down due to the ink not coming out consistently. Now I know why pens advertise ""smoothness"" when writing. This pen does not write smooth!

on March 5, 2016
Posted by: Ron
I do a lot of reading and these pens are the best I have ever found for notation in research. They are a dream to writing with. My only complaint is that it is hard to find red refills over the counter. You can only get a red pen with the purchase of a 4 pack. I have to buy a 4 pack (2 black, 1blue, and 1 red just to get a red pen. Of course I use the black as my standard legal pen, but why is it so hard to find red fills?
