Light weight but not comfortable

The pen is definitely light weight but not easy to hold if you got semi big hands or big hand. My hand is about 7.5 inch from my palm to tip of middle finger. The hollowed out body makes the pen light and very grippy but not comfortable to hold for a long period of time. My finger start to get irritated and rough from the indentation on the pen. Nice pen to gift but I rather spend the extra bit of money and get a full size olight pen

Pros
  • Writes well, and fits neatly into my pocket. Very handy to use!
Cons
  • May be easy to misplace due to its small size

Light pen, questionable design

In short: this pen is for people who are ‘tacticool’ favoring asthetic over purpose.Does this pen look nice? Yes with machined parts and bolt action clicker.But the drawbacks are that the fans in the design put pressure on thumbs and the short size makes it interesting to write. The clicker gimmick gets dull after you realize that the design of the flat circle also digs in your thumb. And it’s a chore to write with it.With gloves with grip textures it handles better but if you don’t need it…

Pros
  • Small and really light, love the open cuts
Cons
  • The pen may be too small for some users

Love this thing good for me

Just got it earlier and i love itIt’s smaller than expected but I didn’t read the dimensions anywaysI have small hands and I can barely write with it comfortably so I would not recommend to anyone with big or slightly larger than average hands since it might be a bit difficult to write withAlso it’s a little tough to fidget with since it’s so small but I’m getting used to itMade well and it’s so light you won’t notice you have it on youO light continues to make amazing products

Pros
  • Pretty nice little pen. Would be a great gift
Cons
  • I like this pen for writing on small pads and notebooks. I do wish it was bigger at times

Small like it should be and functional

There are complaints about the size of this mini-pen. They say it's small, hard to hold, and not easy to use. I see no such issues because it's designed to be a small, easy to carry pen for occasional use. It's not for writing the great American novel but it will be great to have if you need to jot something down. I would compare it to the Fisher Space Pen, though I don't believe it is pressurized. I've also not needed a refill yet so I'm unsure how hard they are to obtain. Bottom line- small…

Pros
  • Great little pen. Well made. Smooth writing
Cons
  • The pen may be too lightweight for some users

To small to be useful

Maybe it's okay to throw in your pocket and use occasionally, but it's way way to small to be used regularly, and in my opinion extremely overpriced for what you get.To small to be functional and no refills with it just seems useless

Pros
  • Writing & Correction Supplies
Cons
  • May not be refillable, adding to environmental waste

Nice for edc! - my new review

Pen is a little smaller than pictured. About 3/4 size of a regular pen. This does make it a little hard to hold but not horrible. Overall happy with it

Pros
  • Writes very well. Very compact.
Cons
  • It writes well but it's fairly small, like 4 inches. The design is awesome and I love the bolt action.

This tiny pen pairs perfectly with my Hide and Drink pocket notebook holder. The clip is strong and stays out of the way even when I force it into my pocket and it wants to snag, it doesn't bend or come out of the pouch.

Pros
  • Ideal for gifting to friends, family, or colleagues who appreciate high-quality writing instruments that are both stylish and functional
Cons
  • May not have a replaceable ink cartridge option

Pros
  • perfect size, great for edc, writes awesome. good llooking as well. i love it
Cons
  • Pros: Solid body, cool design.Cons: Ink sucks, pocket clip seems weak, slippery feel.

Cute, handy, writes

It is a nice pocket pen that is well made and writes good. Down the road I might buy a dozen of them and hand them out to folks that can appreciate such a pen.

Pros
  • Love the size and how smooth it writes. Fits great in your pocket.
Cons
  • The bolt action may wear out over time

Perfect EDC pen. best in my review

Perfect little pen for EDC. Easy bolt action, solid pocket clip and writes well on both soft and hard surfaces. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Smooth action, writes crisply, but should have gone full sized... my mitts are too big for the pen.
Cons
  • Way too small not the same pen as in the pic Very disappointed

Great EDC Pen! good for me

I got one of these for myself then ended up getting two more for two different people after for gifts. I love that it is small and can easily fit in your pocket and not poke your leg. The quality for the price I think is unbeatable with a satisfying bolt action for the pen to come in and out. Makes a great fidget toy as well! The only thing is when you need a refill you will have to find them here maybe or on Olight’s website because they are pretty short. I really love the cutout design on the

Pros
  • It came just as described and works very well
Cons
  • May smudge or smear easily

Nice litte pen for my opinion

Great little pen to have for EDC purposes I have it clipped to my right and around notebook that I always carry with me however I fail to do proper research and get the actual size of the pen down So for anybody with larger hands you might want to go with a different style of pin other than that I like everything with it and it just really hard for me to hold on to without dropping it.

Pros
  • Made with high quality materials, this pen is built to last and can withstand frequent use in even the most demanding environments
Cons
  • May not have a comfortable writing position for those with larger hands

Maybe a dud best in my review

I got my O’pen about two weeks ago and have loved it up until today. Great design, feels great in hand, but it suddenly stopped writing and i had a difficult time finding the refills on olight’s website. I think making a new gen with more easily obtained refills is in order. Hoping my first cartridge was just a dud.

Pros
  • Strong and Stylish: The aluminum alloy body is tough and wear-resistant. It comes with finely machined hollow rifling grooves for a dynamic and stylish look.
Cons
  • The bolt action may be too loud for some environments

Don’t wash it in the machine

Enjoyed this pen for 2 days then I washed it clipped to my shirt pocket. Even washed in cold water it bent and twisted and destroyedThe pen completely! Unbelievable how this pen looked like it got ran over by a semi truck. If you live life very gentle and careful this might beA good pen. But in my world it lasted 2 days.

Pros
  • Felt great, just a little on the small side. Nice back up pen.
Cons
  • Dropped it on tile on the tip now it randomly stops putting out ink while writing.

Very Small for my opinion

Too small unless you have small hands. Unlike the capped Space Pens which get longer when you swap the cap, this just stays tiny and almost impossible to use. I am by no means a larger guy either so yeah, useless real fast. Also as with most thing Olight the cartridges are only on their sight, cost a bit too much, but you can print/buy an etsy adapter for other refills.

Pros
  • This is an awesome little pen compact and light
Cons
  • May not be suitable for left-handed users

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great pen even though it’s a little bit small.

This is a great little pen. It writes well. It does everything it should. The mechanism is smooth. The only issue I had and it’s not with the pen is that I have big hands and it being such a small pan. It doesn’t fit well. Other than that it’s a great pen and would make a great stocking stuffer or pan for a Journal or something like that.

Pros
  • Office Products
Cons
  • May not have a clip for easy storage

Perfect Pocket Pen best in my review

Solid performer. Sturdy, light-weight. It is a good looking pen that writes well. Fun to fidget with and you hardly notice it in the pocket.

Pros
  • Smooth to Write: Customized refill with PREMEC stainless steel tip, smooth for writing and causing fewer ink blots.
Cons
  • The pen may have trouble writing on certain paper types

Wanted to like it but

The bolt action keeps sticking when I try to get the nib out. This pen looks nice, but however small you think it is, it's much smaller. I'm not sure it would be comfortable to write much with.

Pros
  • The replaceable black ink cartridge ensures that you will never run out of ink when you need it most, making it perfect for both personal and professional use
Cons
  • The bolt action may stick or jam with heavy use

Perfect backup pen good for me

Its a great backup pen for when your main runs outta ink or you drop it. You'll be happy you have a 2nd on you Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Lightweight and compact size makes it easy to transport and store in a pocket, bag, or backpack, making it the perfect travel companion for those who are always on the go
Cons
  • The pen may arrive damaged or unusable due to shipping

EXTREMELY MISLEADING PICTURES.

This product listing is a complete LIE. The pictures are all photoshopped to make the pen look twice as big as it really is. What a pathetic disappointment! I don't have a super high level of respect for Olight, but I expected better than blatant lies.The fake listing pictures make it look like this is a somewhat stubby pen of about 4.5 inches long by 0.5" diameter maybe, looks about the size of a normal capped pen without the cap attached, which would perfect for me, Nice and compact but still

Pros
  • A nice little fidgety pen. It's smaller than it looks, but a good size for a front pocket
Cons
  • The ink may dry out quickly if not used frequently
