I purchased these pens, at the time, having very low expectations due to the unbelievably low price, I found myself shocked by their quality! After doing some research on this phenomenon, it all made sense. Linc is an Indian manufacturer who makes pens for big stationary companies like Lamy and Uniball. They must have taken notes from these other manufacturers to design their own unique pen, the Linc Pentonic. There certainly are many elements to this pen in its design that are a nod to Lamy in their logo and body design and the smoothness of ink I have only found in the Uniball Jetstream ballpoint. In places like India and Nepal, they have a class of pen called the 10 rupee pen (around .15 cents USD) you can get at a tiny general store-esque shop. For the value hands down, there is no other pen that compares to these! These pens are so smooth and pigmented, and the lightness of the body allows for a very smooth writing experience. These pens deserve so much more attention and I would highly recommend you try them out! Update 9/10 I am still using these pens as my everyday drivers! Now after closer examination of this pen in direct comparison with the Uniball Jetstream 101, I think the Uniball has slightly more refinement in smoothness, but the Linc Pentonic has more pigmentation in their ink; especially comparing their red inks. I really enjoy these pens considering the price, performance, design, and the cool spinning pen holder.
