ZEBRA Surari 3C ball point pen review.

Surari 3C or 4C is multi-pen of Surari.
The Surari ball point pen is using emulsion ink, this ink is figuring smooth, bright color.
But, It has long time to dry on coated paper.















It`s design is just look like Clip-on multi.... I can`t find
any figure in this pen. I wish slim version of this pen launch....
The design is too common.













The sliver color logo is printed on clip.
Logo design is similar with Surari.













The grip is made of rubber, and I think this grip is fat version of Surari
grip. Quite disappointed...

You can use 3 or 4 color of Surari in one pen, but I recommend just buy
Surari single color version.

Pentel SMASH mechanical pencil review.

Pentel Smash is one of steady seller of pentel graph pencil.
It`s name was Q1000 in circa 80~90`s but at this time name is changed to Smash.
A point of difference of Q1000 and Smash is brilliance of grip, but it`s almost same.
Smash has three color, Black, Gray, and Blue gray.
I have Gray color now.















Tip and grip is in a one body. In center of this pencil, has degree indicator, and logo.
On the logo, you can see black clip.












The red color logo is printed on plastic body.
The rotring X00 series is same printing style(black body and red logo printing.)
If you wouldn`t rub this logo, it will not be erase.












I think some of people know that this clip is same as Graph1000.
Rectangular form clip, and made of brass.













Eraser and nob.
Eraser is white color. The past, this eraser was had green color and also had
cleaner pin, but you can see on this picture, the cleaner pin is gone. I can`t guess
Pentel`s an intention. Without cleaner pin, it`ll be very uncomfortable if the pencil lead
stuck on inside of sleeve.

The nob design is very unique. It is like spring I think.














Degree Indicator. It has 8 degrees(HB B 2B 4H 3H 2H H F)














This square dual grip is characteristic of Smash.
It is really interesting feature, but I think in graph pencil, the metal grip like rotring600,
these grip is most suitability for graph pencil. However I don`t say the dual grip is not
suitability for graph pencil.
Also Graph1000, Graph Gear1000 is using dual grip like this.












4mm sleeve is for graph.
10 knock, 0.5cm turn lead out.

This pencil is my second 1000Yen Pentel graph pencil.
I used lots of Pentel graph pencils(P205, Graph1000, PG5....)
Smash is quite good quality pencil I think. It is also good for graph, and common writing.

Monami SUPER GEL-Q review.

Monami is famous stationery manufacturer in Korea.
The one of new product line, Super Gel-Q is gel pen which have quick dry ink.
When you write this pen on paper, the ink will dry in only 3 seconds. This is pretty interesting feature
because other gel pen, such as Uni Signo, Pilot Hi-Tec-C, etc..... these gel ink is take quite long time to
dry, but Super Gel-Q is not.












When I saw this pen first, I immediately thought the Uni-ball Signo DX.
You can find a point of sameness with Signo DX. For example, similar rubber
grip design, and logo printing. I can`t conclude that this pen is copy model of
Signo DX, but it`s true that this pen look like Signo DX.










SUPER GEL-Q is printed on plastic barrel. Next to the logo,
there is another printing 'Quick dry 3times faster.', which mean, ink is fast-drying.












Grip is rubber grip. If you see this dot design on grip,
you can find similar point with Signo DX.

I said this pen is using quick drying ink, more faster drying than other gel pen.
I wrote some letter on the paper(well...... you can fell this ink quick drying on coating
paper. On normal paper, all gel ink take same time to drying.). 3seconds later I wrote it,
the ink was completely dried.

I think this gel pen is very useful in daliy life.
