After researching and watching countless

"After researching and watching countless pen reviews, I decided to purchase the Tino Ballpoint Pen. I chose the ballpoint version for its quick, convenient “grab-and-go” usability—perfect for slipping into my pocket-sized leather folio. When it arrived, it was love at first sight. The design is stunning—sleek, refined, and beautifully made. Almost immediately, I found myself wondering if I’d enjoy the fountain pen version just as much. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to splurge. I’m so glad I did. The fountain pen completely lived up to my expectations, offering an equally impressive writing experience with a touch of elegance that makes it a joy to use. Both models are absolute perfection."

What a beautiful. I interact

"What a beautiful. I interact a lot with people in the creative profession and this pen definitely makes an impression. It also writes well. This is a purchase that definitely brought a smile to my face."

Gorgeous, elegant pen

"I am a fountain pen user - have been for 15+ years. But I have fallen in love with the simple elegance of the Kolo Tino ballpoint pens. I have quickly collected 3 acrylic pens - all gorgeous! I am using the Uni Jetstream refills which I like better than the Schmidt ballpoint that comes with the pen. I am now considering to sell many of my fountain pens and embrace the simplicity of these high quality pens. I am looking forward to adding more pens to my little collection!"

Beautifully crafted pen but lackluster experience

"Beautiful pen thoughtful packaging. I wanted to love this pen however I can’t convince myself to keep it for the following reasons; it’s uncomfortable to use I have pretty small hands but I constantly found myself changing my grip on it to feel comfortable for use. Then the ink chosen is horrible it dried out in use a few times it and it eerily reminded me of writing with a BIC pen not something you hope for when using a $200 pen."

— Sherie (2/5)

Good but not without some flaws.

"Beautiful pen. Issues with the clicking mechanism. The pen itself is beautiful. A bit small which could be an issue for some but I find it comfortable. My main issue is with the clicking mechanism. Depending on how you push the clicker and where you apply pressure is can get caught on some edge inside the pen and cause resistance and sometimes get stuck altogether. This has gotten better overtime so it seems the QA and tolerances of the plastic bits inside may not be great. For the price and how bespoke this item seems I would expect more precision and a smooth feel to the pen. I did replace the cartridge with a zebra brad replacement and find the writing experience to be much more enjoyable now."

Almost perfect

"Absolutely beautiful pen coupled with horrible ink - a total disservice to otherwise thoughtful design."

The idea is nice, but

"The idea is nice, but the blend of colors looks too dark."
