Something that people don't know is that these pens are water-soluble, which means that with a brush and a little water, you can paint or mix them with other colors and create even more shades! Although they are made for technical drawing, they are also excellent for writing, painting, and freehand sketching! The most incredible thing is not that they can do everything, but that they can do everything perfectly! You won't find this in any other tool out there because there are always trade-offs. If a tool does something well, it will lack in something else, and this applies to everything except the Pilot V5 pen! Therefore, we can confidently say that it is by far the best pen out there! <3
Edit: I lowered the rating to 4, but I would easily give it a 6 if I could because it truly was the best pen. Unfortunately, the last 5 Pilot V5 pens I bought, in different colors and from different stores, stopped writing immediately or lost ink quickly, making my hands messy, or both at the same time, meaning it stopped writing and lost a lot of ink. It's a bit difficult to be so unlucky and always end up with a faulty one straight from the factory. That's why I started buying them from different stores and in different colors. For now, only the red one has lasted a bit, but it hasn't even written two lines of text... The others stopped writing halfway through the page, and no matter what I did, they never wrote again.
