I’m always looking for the smallest linewidth and the hit-tec-c .25 has been my favourite so far. The Jetstream is new to me as is the Kleid notebook - looking foward to trying them out!

How about you? Any favourite super fine lined writing instruments you like to use?

      I remember having a stabilo worker as a kid, one with the orange rubberised barrel. I thought it looked so cool - like an orange sci-fi submarine!

      Haven’t seen one in ages but then again the pen selection at the stores in my area have really atrophied.

      The Uniballs are some of the best feeling pens to write with imo! Have you tried refilling them? What kind of ink did you use?

      The Schneider is another new one for me!

    I would love to see some examples of writing if you are willing to share. I have not used any of the pens you have mentioned, but I absolutely love taking notes in small and well organized spaces. Although I settle for pens that are probably not as fine.

      Sure! Here’s a quick couple of lines!

      Apple dongle for scale and the grid is 2mm.

      I’d love to see a sample of your writing too!

      My goal for the near future is to be able to write in block letters fast and legibly.

    I used to do this for all my notes in college. I rarely do it anymore, but I do keep around a pen for. I use the Uni Sigmo UMR-82 Gel 0.28mm in a Big Idea Design Bolt Action.

    I was torn between the Sigmo 0.28 and the Hi-Tec-C 0.25. They’re both amazing.

      Cool! I don’t think I’ve tried the 0.28 Signo, I’ll add it to my list.

      Custom pen bodies are something I haven’t even considered! Are there more manufacturers that you’d recommend?
