About OHTO:
OHTO is a Japanese pen manufacturing company, first established in 1929 as a manufacturer of dyes and ink. In 1949, the company manufactured the world's first chrome ball ballpoint pen, and has been manufacturing pens ever since. They produced Japan's first ballpoint pen, as well as many other innovative items such as Japan's first water-based ballpoint pen (also known as a rollerball), first needle point, and new ceramic tip pen.
I've never tried an OHTO pen before but the classic Yoseka green drew my eye and as soon as I clicked the pen out I had to have it. The mechanism used has such a nice feel to it like it snaps into place and scratches an itch in my brain I can't possibly hope to describe. The faceted body makes it reminiscent of a standard pencil with a clip making it nice and portable.
The ink itself is surprisingly smooth, best comparison I can make is to my Zebra clip-on multi pen, but which a much finer tip. Although, after testing it, I found I preferred their gel ink formula - but the refills are the same shape so it was a super quick and easy swap!
These pens are a great value in an all metal clicker pen. I don’t like the standard refill, but it can be replaced by any Parker style refill. Yoseka provided fine service.
I've been wanting to try out OHTO pens and seeing this collab in this gorgeous deep green made me try it. The pen writes light, but smooth thin lines. The click (knock) is satisfying, too. Overall, I am satisfied. I've been using it everyday, but it's best for taking notes. No smear either!
I really like my dark green to go pen. It's my go to pen that's always in my bag and it writes well.
A very balanced feel pleasant to touch & use. I can’t wait to try other Yoseka stationary collaborations in the future. Also the Yoseka green color is gorgeous.
