Have any left handers experienced smudging when writing with this pen?

I’m a hook writing lefty. Absolutely no smearing with these pens.

I see some people are saying that these pens are actually fake, is that true? or the quality is substantially lower than the ones sold in Japan?

I love these pens! Although the gel ink is not as dark as the refills I purchase from Jetpens.com, it still has the same smooth writing quality. However, if you are particular about the ink and prefer the vibrant black ink like the Japanese pens, then I recommend you go to Jetpens.com. Just keep in mind that the pens are sold individually and quite pricey. The ink refill alone is between $2.50 to $3.50 depending on the color. The.4mm is the perfect point for me, finer than a .5mm but not as thin as a .3mm. Hope this helps a fellow pen fetish-er like me!

It is pilot. What do you expect

Solid pen, be mindful of the 0.4 size tho. No breaks, no bleedouts. Dries fast enough

Beautiful writing, loves this pen. One of my favorites.

Oh my god, this is one of the best pens I have ever tried. It writes pretty nicely. Even my husband, who is not into pens like I am, commented on how nice this pen writes. It flows great on the paper. The fine point of 0.38 is my favorite thickness. You can write super tiny in your planner, and the writing looks beautiful.
