Great bunch of pens
5 out of 5 stars
Great bunch of pens
If you are looking for a box of pens that are reasonably priced, and you don’t really care if one or two of them go missing, then this is the perfect box for you. We got them for our kids as they were completing their national fives and we are constantly misplacing our expensive pens. Had them in blue, but always prefer them in black. Great for a Desk. Just clear out all the old rubbish pins that you have laying around and get these ones

A must try.... Then must buy!
I use it for Sketching in Design.

Got this for Rs 600 (+ Rs 45 Delivery Charges) = Rs 645/- On 9 October 2019

Very good pen for sketching level and art purposes too. It's range of shades and fineness is appreciable. Although, lumps form in continuous use.

But the price is a bit more higher to buy. A large price difference between blue and black ink prices as well among different suppliers.

Edit on 2 October 2022:

They still work great I have 10 out of 50 left still. Awesome product at Rs 600/- for 50 pens.

Price seems to have shot up by over 5 times now. Rs 3250. It is really high. Not worth now.
