Does anyone know of a comparable quality pen with a thinner point?

I'd have to say in all honesty that I don't--I have written hanzi down to an x-height of about 2mm with it, without loss of sharpness. But I suppose it depends on what you're using it for?

The tip on this is very fine; however I would say it is probably slightly thicker than a ball point pen. You could probably achieve that thickness if you use the pen very lightly with small strokes.

Sorry, I can't help. I bought my pen with just the one nib; it's on the finer side rather than the broader, but not really fine.

Hi Amazon Customer! Unfortunately, we cannot safely say that these tips will fit any other tips than those of our own (The Friendly Swede) pens. Apologies for that. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

not from Genius unless you want to order a whole new pen. I found universal tips for the pen on ebay. 10 for 5.55

Hi Molly- I use Fisher Space Ball Point Refills for this pen. I saw that someone else suggested using Fisher and thought I'd give it a try. So glad I did! Because I'd been so disappointed with Zebra refills for quite some time. My favorite pens (Zebra) were suddenly turning my journals into a dotted, blotchy mess. There's just an even flow of ink while writing with Fisher refills that Zebra simply doesn't have anymore. I have no idea why the Zebra refills tend to leave blots now, resulting in pages of speckled writing (if that makes sense.) It's incredibly annoying. I even switched from the Zebra 301 (my forever trusted favorite) to the F402 pen to see if that would make any difference. It did not. I loved the fine point that came with the steel pen. The glide of the pen across most any paper is amazing. But again the blotchy spots ruin it for me. And perhaps it's just me and the ridiculous standard I have for a writing instrument. I don't know. The Fisher refill is not quite as fine as the one that comes with the Zebra steel pen. But it's still a reasonably fine point. Should you go with Fisher refills, be aware that your Zebra Steel pen won't click and retract normally. In other words, it won't. Or at least mine don't. But that doesn't bother me at all. I have four of the Zebra Steel pens. And I love them...with Fisher refills! I hope my Chronicles of Zebra (sorry) help you select something that suits your specific needs. I feel like a total Amazon dork right now. I hardly ever write reviews. I know. How selfish.

I would recommend something a little larger for a crossword puzzle. This pen is really probably better for something that is quick like reading and signing a bill at a restaurant.

Pens are a very personal item to recommend, personal tastes differ widely among us note-taking-types. While I am certain you are going to get a different answer from someone every time,I will give you my recommendation. I use a Uni-ball signo 0.38mm. It fits great in the loop, writes like a dream, and delivers a fantastic fine line. They aren't very expensive and you can find them On Amazon. Alternatively, there are a lot of people who like G2's, but I find them to be adequate at best.

This is the fatter/wider one. I own both types and I like the way this one feels in my hand. If you watch TLC's Medium, Teresa also uses the same exact pen-just an FYI if you wanted to see someone using it. I wish the seller would have been more descriptive, had I not have bought this one on the Plane going to Germany and seen it before hand, I wouldn't have been able to tell from the description or photo either. I hope this helps.

fine tip, but its not the highest quality, mine started leaking after about a month. Its good to try out the ink but not an everyday carry pen

I just took a candle to my craft room and the Sharpie Oil based Pen wrote on it beautifully. I bought them to sign my oil paintings with but they do not write as thin as I wanted them to. I am looking for oil based pens with a lot smaller writing tip.. Don't get me wrong, these are small, just not as small as I wanted them to be.

These are a more fine tip and thinner pen all around but still works beautifully.

It's a medium point. I have two of them but don't use them. They are hard to start the ink flowing after even an hour or two sitting unused and skip until you work at it to get the ink flowing properly. I've been quite disappointed in them. Other than how they write, I like them a lot: the look and feel of the pen is very nice.
