I Tracked Down the Pen That Keeps Selling Out Everywhere!
After months of chasing restocks and monitoring pen forums, I finally tracked down the almost mythical Uniball Zento Signature 0.5mm! This pen has become the holy grail of 2025 for pen collectors and writing enthusiasts alike—selling out instantly everywhere and popping up on resale sites for triple its retail price. If you’ve been wondering what all the hype is about, or if this elusive rollerball is really worth the chase, you’re in the right place.
**CORRECTION UPDATE**
I don’t know how I missed it, but the silver model is .38 not .7
What’s Inside This Review:
Unboxing & First Impressions: Get a close look at the Zento Signature’s sleek metal body, magnetic cap, and that signature Uniball ink formulation.
