Why do the pencils look fake?
They are actually fineliner pens.
I haven’t used this specific brand so can’t say how good these are. But there are plenty of brands that make similar products they are available in assorted colors and tip sizes.
I have the purple Stabilo point 88 in fine (middle one in picture) on my desk. Had it for a few years, hasn't dried up or gotten empty yet. I like how the pen writes, but in general, I am not a big fan of felt tipped pens.
Definitely a solid writing tool though.
When you put too much pressure on them the tip just splits. Happened to me plenty of times when I was in elementary school. I'd rather have a regular ballpoint pen tip.
