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.

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 love these pens! They write smoothly, feel comfortable in hand, and the ink flow is consistent without skipping. The 0.7mm tip is perfect for everyday writing, planning, and note-taking.
The erase feature is incredibly convenient, especially for planning and organizing, and the click mechanism feels solid and well-made. These are now a staple in my stationery collection, and I’ll definitely be picking up more.
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.
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"
