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.

    About FriXion:
    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.

    Is this my new favorite pen?

    I just heard about the new Frixion Zone ink and I wanted to see just how good it could be so I ordered it in both the 0.5 and 0.7. I already had the old version in the 0.5 and I have now done the comparison and there is a significant improvement with the Zone ink. Previous Frixion was grey like pencil graphite, new Frixion 0.5 is much closer to the level of black I would get with a Uni Jetstream. I am very impressed. The 0.7 pen somehow is much darker, perhaps the width of the stroke concentrating the ink. It's now darker than the black ink that came in my Pilot Metropolitan ballpoint (twist). I fear that one day they will introduce an erasable ink as dark and as black as the Uni One...

    The pen body is nice, a little loose and jangly with a respectable knock action from the clip. I think I smeared the possibly wet ink at first when I was attempting to erase, but that's fine, I just rubbed more.

    I don't remember the last time I encountered a pen and thought "this changes everything"
