FriXion Ball Knock Zone. This new version of FriXion pen comes with a few new upgrades and a new version of FriXion refill that writes darker and longer. As opposed to the the regular FriXion refill, the new FriXion Zone refill comes in metal encasing with “Premium FriXion Ink”, which writes 30% higher density in black, and 15% higher density in black and blue. The new metal encasing is thinner, allowing the ink capacity to increase by 70%. Two pen upgrades include a more fitted grip section to reduce rattling of the refill, as well as an additional spring to soften the impact of knocking. FriXion Zone comes in muted tones as well as more professional grip such as birch wood and marble resin.

- Available in 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.5mm with wood grip, 0.5mm with marble grip
- More FriXion pen colors and options here
- Refills available in 0.5mm and 0.7mm
The FriXion ink is erasable by rubbing with the tip of the pen to create the frictional heat needed for the ink to disappear. Since the ink reacts directly to temperature, it is recommended not to leave it under direct sunlight or anything that's hotter than 140 Fahrenheit.
I heard about this new Ver. 2 pen and ink from a fellow Rocketbook notebook/planner user. They write really well on regular paper but especially an upgrade using them on the rocketbook paper.
The ink flow with these pens is signficantly better with bolder colors. I compared the .7 and the .5 pens to the originals and you can see and feel a big difference.
The only "down side" is that the pens only come with black ink and you have to purchase refills for the blue and red ink seperately. It was no big deal for me to do that, but it is something to consider.
I really hope they make for ink colors in this new Ver. 2 ink because I would buy them all. As of right now they only make the Ver. 2 in Black, Blue, and Red.
The extra bonus is being to buy them from this store. They are more expensive and not always available on amazon. They are also more expensive on other asian stationary type sites.
They shipped out from Yoseka Stationary pretty quickly and when I got them you could tell they were hand packed. I will definitely only be buying these pens and refills from this store and checking out their other items.
This score has nothing to do with Yoseka they have been great but the new pen ink is terrible. Doesn’t work. Tried water on the tip, freezing the ink cartridge and nothing. Yoseka kindly sent me a replacement and that too was dead. Tried same with second pen and nothing too it’s completely dead.
Awesomeness
My favorite Frixion pen.
very happy and affordable enough to use in a large office
