A nice alternative for you Moleskine folks.
I purchased a Zebra F-301 Compact but being used to the Precise V7 was not too impressed with the way it wrote. Not bad though.
The solution was to buy the Dr. Grip Center of Gravity refills. The diameter is too large for the F-301 chassis so reduced it with some sandpaper. Also had to make a small spacer due to the shorter lenght. Made this from a 1-1.5mm piece of the old F-301 cartridge.
The result is a nice looking/writing little pen. Also look for the Zebra Expandx which I have not been able to find yet. It takes the same refills.
