    The Pentel Energel Hexreform is a limited edition that uses a 0.5mm Energel needletip refill. It's probably not a pen you've seen before, so I wanted to being it to everyone's attention because it's quite cool.

    Absolutely love the aesthetics. The fact that it's capped makes it even better. Thanks for showing this to me. +1 sub for you, good sir.

    I have the silver version of this pen. It is very nice and well-made. I find the diameter a bit too narrow to be completely comfortable in the hand. Nice review!

    In response to Unsharpen's Pentel Energel Hexreform website page: I currently own a Pentel Energel Sterling Slim pen which uses LR and LRN Energel refills. Its style is very similar to the Hexreform. It has the same clip and lengths (capped, uncapped, posted). I was able to use a Uni SXR Jetstream refill in the Sterling Slim by cutting off a very small piece of a lollipop stick and placing it in the pen's barrel which allows the refill's tip to extend out of the pen's tip. Nothing to it; that was it. Fits perfectly! If it can fit in the Sterling Slim, I feel confident that it will fit in the Hexreform. I was also able to fit my Ohto C Ceramic rollerball refill into the pen. It comes out a tad short, but that's easy enough to fix. I was able to place a Zebra Sarasa gel ink refill as well with no modification. There are choices for refills for the Hexreform. I really like the Hexreform, much more than the rOtring 600 ballpoint I own. I find that a metal-bodied pen that can hold different ink types and refills as well as being attractive to the eye is worth the $20 spent for one. I also have an appreciation for non-retractable refillable capped pens as you are more likely to find a compatible refill. Thanks for the video and the additional information on your website!

    Pilot G2 refills are a bit wider at the tip compared to Energel (and Uniball Signo) refills. So while the latter fits in anything that takes Pilot G2s (with tip wiggle), the reverse usually does not work.

    Pentel makes these beautiful pens but mention nothing about them at their official site. It's very weird that a brand would be so secretive of their own products. Just the other day I was window shopping fountain pens at my local stationery shop and found Pentel makes fountain pens too. They didn't even know its model name, but after some fiddling around online, the model number is F700. It seems it's more popular as a rollerball than as a fountain pen. I don't know how it writes, I didn't buy it yet, but it had a nice heft to it and a satisfying click cap.

      Usually it’s because the pen is sold in a different geo. I think this pen was only sold in South Korea at launch for instance.

    @ronaldchapman2806 2 года назад +2

    Hopelessly late, as usual, to the party but I do like it. A bit short and skinny but very handsome. Why on earth was it limited and why didn't they roll it out to more territories? Was it an experiment that didn't sell well enough? Or is it like the French farmers who only export their tasteless 'golden delicious' apples to the UK and keep the best for themselves, or am I being paranoid?
    Mass market pentels may write well but they're pretty ugly. This is a work of art in comparison.
    I've been forced to go down the far more expensive Caran d'Ache, Rotring, Lamy, Stilform avenue! Admittedly, they are far chunkier but for a stiff premium.

    The Pentel LRP refills are permenant, the LRs are standard and LRN is the needlepoints - as far as I know there is no needlepoint permenant refill. So the LRN you have probably the LRN5-AX is not permanent ✌🏾

    It's available at Amazon Japan on pre-order and available by 12-6-19 for a little less than 30 dollars. The amount is really not worth it to me.

    After seeing your video, I tracked one down on AliExpress. I love the forest green color, which is hard to find on an EDC pen. I swapped out for a 0.7mm needle-tip and I'm carrying it now. It's lighter than my OHTO liberty and rides beautifully in a T-shirt pocket.

    Sal, the “upscale” Energel sold Stateside with a cap is the Pentel Libretto. It’s more of an elegant than a technical looking pen. I go for the former, I think you prefer the latter. After shipping, the Libretto comes out way cheaper than the Hexreform since it’s officially sold in America.

    • @Ali-in8xi
      @Ali-in8xi 4 года назад +1

      I currently own a Libretto. The capping and posting action is its best feature. I would have liked it if the grip section was the same color as the rest of the body, excluding the black body of course. Also, I'm not a fan of its clip. It's a very solid clip; I would have preferred a more curvy design.

    I really like the look of this and really hate that you've shown me something I seemingly have no hope of getting hold of. I'm in the UK and our ebay and Amazon sites don't really connect to the worldwide versions, even if you tell them to search worldwide. It's a shame. Never used Rakuten or AliExpress before but might have to open an account just for this.

    Energel refills write so well that I think it's kind of unnecessary to find other refills.

    • @Ali-in8xi
      @Ali-in8xi 4 года назад +1

      I agree. I would have to place Energel ink at the top of the "Best Gel Ink" list. Energel offers an assortment of colors which are all very rich and vivid and tip sizes. However, other inks are just as great like hybrid ink, for instance. This ink, especially coming out of a 0.5 mm tip, holds up very well to highlighter ink, not to mention that it lasts much longer than gel ink.
