Pentel EnerGel Kuro Retractable Liquid Gel Pen, Shades of Black, 0.7mm tip, Assorted black ink, Pack of 5 pens (BL437PF5MA)

Absolutely love the colors! Perfect for writing in a planner or notebook with black print because the slight color difference stands out against pure black.My only complaint is that the plastic pen bodies are not very durable; the pocket/ collar clip breaks off with the slightest strain (I've broken them in my t-shirt collar and when trying to put it in the binder of my planner - very little use or stretch, which is very disappointing.) I like the colors enough that I'm going to try buying an EnerGel metal bodied pen and hope these inserts will fit in them. But it sucks that I'll either need to buy 5 more pens (and waste or hoard the black ink which will likely dry out by the time I'd potentially want to use them 🤣) or switch the color insert every time I want to switch colors.Love the colors, wish they came in a more durable pen body.

Worked in restaurants for about 9 years. Never got my pens stolen until the week I bought these. I catch customers taking pictures of them all the time. Between work and school, I'm really picky about the pens I use, but these write amazing. They don't smear and the colors are soooo smooth and vibrant. I have all the different packs because I love them so much. I swear I even get better tips because of them, haha!

These pens are nice and they write pretty well. I really only wanted the red black ink and it did not disappoint. They are smooth and write easily.

I’m always hunting for handy tools that add a bit of fun to my routine, and the Pentel EnerGel Kuro Shades of Black pens totally hit the mark! This 5-pack of 0.7mm retractable gel pens comes with five cool shades of black—crimson, olive, bordeaux, charcoal, and the classic black—which makes jotting notes, scribbling ideas, or even doodling way more interesting. The liquid gel ink flows so smoothly and dries fast, saving me from those annoying smudges while I’m multitasking. The slim barrel with its comfy rubber grip feels great in my hand, and the latex-free design is a nice touch for those long writing stretches. I love how precise the metal tip is, though the color differences are pretty subtle and shine best with good lighting. My only gripe is that it’s stuck at 0.7mm, so no finer tips to play with. Quick tip: use it with a nice notebook to really bring out the vibe. These pens are a stylish, practical pick for any parent or writer—definitely worth grabbing!

This is one of my 2 favorite brands of pen. These are really smooth and the ink just flows so nicely when they write. They don't smudge at all. They are a bit spendy so I hope they will last quite a while. The ink really isn't that different. That was a little bit disappointing cuz I thought I would have a bunch of different shades. When I opened the box I tested them all out and really there's only two slight color changes. I kind of want to give it a 3-star because they built the hype up on different shades of black ink and it honestly is exaggerated. It is not that distinct. These are also much more lightweight than their normal pens so I was surprised by that. They seem to be holding up rather well and they work the way they're supposed to.

I love my new pens! It writes smoothly and has a hint of color besides the black. Kuro is my favorite pen to use for school.

Love the shade of this pens. The black shade in different pens are great.

The pens themselves are great and writes smooth but I don’t like smooth writing pens so they are not my favorite. I do like the subtle colors though. I did receive all 5 although not pictured
