I received these Pentel Slicci (pronounced "slee chee" not "slicky") from Lily at
JetPens to review. This type of pen is new to me, since the last time I used a metallic pen was sometime back in the 80's when you had to press down on the felt tip to make the metallic ink come out of the pen usually resulting in its gushing out onto the paper. Those pens were kind of a neat breakthrough at the time, but
really stinky; the smell being akin to that of a Sharpie marker. When I was younger, I used to enjoy that strong smell, but now I am pretty sensitive to strong odors. I was a bit skeptical when I received these from Lily, since I expected to combat that same odor again. Not the case at all. These metallic markers are definitely stink-proof. I ended up having a lot of fun with these and my interest has been piqued enough to try other Pentel Slicci colors. I tried to take pics that revealed the metallic sheen, but these pens are tough to photograph.

| I found myself "bonding" with the bronze pen the most. I find that in natural light, it appears less orange-y and more golden brown. On yellow legal pad, the ink turns out having a terracotta-like appearance and I really like that a lot. |
