I think I'm in love with this pen. I'm a huge fan of the .25mm Slicci, and this pen--this color in particular--gives it a run for its money. Ink flow is smooth, pen is well-balanced, and the color is phenomenal. You know how a lot of purple pens end up looking kind of fuchsia-ish? This pen, on the other hand, is a true, deep, royal purple. I adore it. I also got the Black, Bordeaux Black, and Brown Black, and I love them all for the same reasons (although the lavender black is my favorite color). There is a noticeable difference between this .38mm line and the Slicci's .25mm line, so I won't be using this one for extreme detail work, but there's nothing wrong with having different instruments for different purposes. Excellent pen!

This is such a fantastic color. I favor the darker colors and this is my favorite purple. Its nice and dark, but you can still tell its purple. I don't think Uni makes a refill in this color for their My Style Fit multi pen system; I really wish they did. Great pen, great color, stock up in case they stop making them!

Like the brown back and blue black, this lavender black is absolutely worth the buy! I love all of the Uni-ball Signo UM-151 pens with the black ink mixed with a color. They're good for taking notes when you want to highlight a word or phrase but don't want it to stand out TOO much, like may happen with a highlighter or a brighter color pen. I also like just writing with them as well, especially in a planner or something, just to change it up.

I would note that the lavender black, unlike the brown black or blue black, really does have quite a bit of the purple show through (in my opinion). Thus, while you may be able to get away with using the brown black - and definitely the blue black - for 'official' work, I wouldn't necessarily recommend the lavender black, as it can appear pretty purple-y.

Unique shade, smoothing writing like other Signo DX. Too bad it does not have refills!

This is my favorite ink color! I put the ink cartridges in other Uni Signo bodies because I don't like that there are permanent bar codes on the bodies of the lavender black pens (this has been the case from all retailers, including buying a whole box of them internationally). Compared to all the other colors of Uni Signo .38s I have, all of the lavender blacks write a significantly thicker line, like they were actually about a .45mm. It would be perfect if they came in needle-tip (though I wish all pens came in needle-tip). Please keep stocking this unique color!

I like the color - deep, cool toned purples are a favorite of mine. That being said, the very fine point is uncomfortably scratchy AND this pen gives me some globs of ink if I raise the point off the paper for a minute. Globs and scratchiness makes this pen a decided "meh" for me. I don't hate it - but I won't replace it when it runs out, either.

I like this pen. Aside from the fact that the Uni-ball Signos are great every day, hard wear use sort of pens, they have great ink in them. I like this one mostly because the color of the ink is that perfect shade of near-black purple. Just enough to catch the eye, but dark enough I can use it at work. Wish it came in a 0.5mm tip.

This deep purple is absolutely gorgeous and a nice alternative to black. The ink flow is smooth and consistently thin, with very little bleeding, if at all. It does skip very occasionally, but I believe that is more due to my writing style - I tend to press fairly hard when writing, and this causes more noticeable skipping in pens with smaller tips and lower ink flow. The color is very similar to the Uniball Vision Elite BLX pen in Purple/Black - if you want a deep purple color in a more inky, 0.5 mm pen, that's the one for you. I do wish they sold refills in this ink color so I didn't have to order a new pen every time I run out, but until then, new pens it is.

These are quite simply the best pens EVER!! No globs, no skips, just nice smooth writing pens. I really like this Lavender Black color ... it is really more of a Black Lavender, really nice.

I love this pen! The shade is unique! I'm fond of purple / violet / lavender shades, but this shade comes out differently. I hope they'll have 0.5mm of this.
