Pentel Tradio Fountain Pen
The Pentel Tradio is a fountain pen that completes the set of Tradio pens which includes a rollerball and “Pulaman” which Pentel calls a fountain pen but is actually more of a felt-tipped marker. The Tradio fountain pen uses a short, steel nib and a large plastic feed. It’s a good looking pen but it’s entirely plastic.

The Pentel EnerGel Infree is a variant on the popular Energel-X gel pen. The Infree features a similar body design to the Energel-X but a stylish clear plastic body and a clear grip. It also ships in limited edition ink colors, like orange and turquoise.
The Infree is one of our picks as a best gel pen. We love the clear body, cool ink colors, quick drying times, and the overall design.
