About this item

  • The robust aluminum barrel and brass components provide a luxurious, solid feel with a satisfying weightiness, complemented by the understated matte texture of the unified all-black body. Also available in Camouflage Khaki (CR01-05-CKK) and Camouflage Black (CR01-05-CBK).
  • Crafted from supple elastomer, the non-slip grip features a smooth texture, ensuring a comfortable and secure hold for a stable and enjoyable writing experience.
  • Equipped with a water-based black ink metal refill (C-305) with a ceramic roller ball and Non-Dry technology, which prevents the writing tip from drying out.
  • Due to its distinctive design that prevents air from directly contacting the connecting core and central filling, the pen nib will not dry out even if the cap is accidentally left off.
  • The high-quality and corrosion resistant ceramic ballpoint facilitates excellent ink flow, while also preventing smudging or smearing, resulting in instant, continuous, smooth writing.


The CR01 marks the inaugural release in the CR (Ceramic Roller) series, featuring a newly designed flagship model. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail through in-house design and assembly at the OHTO Yuuki Factory, it stands as OHTO's finest pen to date.

The entirely metal, robust body, comprising an aluminum barrel and cap, along with brass components, exudes a luxurious and satisfyingly distinctive weighted feel. The supple non-slip elastomer grip provides a nice contrast in texture with its smooth synthetic rubber, ensuring a firm hold and an enjoyable writing experience.

Equipped with the water-based Non-Dry Refill C-305, its unique design safeguards against the pen tip drying out, even without the cap. The cartridge's SiC (silicone carbide) Ceramic Roller Ball, a high-quality, corrosion-resistant ballpoint, offers excellent ink flow, contributing to a consistently smooth writing experience.

The beautifully understated Matte Black model is enveloped in a sleek all-black matte texture. For a more captivating look, Camouflage Black offers an elegant flair with a modern chic touch, suitable for both business and casual use. Meanwhile, the Camouflage Khaki presents a timeless classic print, offering sophistication and a versatile, effortless appeal.

All models feature a thick barrel body and a bold yet simple design that further accentuates their presence.

The performance and feel of the CR01 leave a truly remarkable impression, made possible by OHTO, the pioneer in developing the world's first water-based ballpoint pens.

The OHTO CR01 is a great addition to your home or office supplies, journaling supplies, and school supplies. It also makes great gifts for women, men, and students.

I've tried carrying a fine point pen around as an EDC but they would always stop working (I think lint would clog them before). This has a tight fitting cap and after carrying it for a while, I have not had it clog.

If your into the whole smooth pen thing, this is it. It just flows perfectly and feels great no matter how fast or slow your writing.

The pen construction is amazing: great materials, design and feelings.The ink is terrible. Less than one month of use and it is already sketchy and inconsistent, as if it has gone dry.

This one I bought as a gift for a family member, but I've owned my own for a while now. It has a good weight to it and is very durable. Made from quality materials. If you're looking for a solid pen I think these are great.

All metal has a heavy body and the gel ink looks great! One of my favorite pens!

I love this pen. It's sold and feels like it should cost a lot more. And, most importantly, it writes smoothly and evenly. And when you close it you get the feeling of a precision instrument.

This is my new favorite pen. Incredibly smooth and fast drying. I really like the thin ink lines and weight of the tool.

This Pen is great. Has a good weight to it, as well as a great feel when you're writing with it. The ceramic rollerball works excellently and does not skip, at least so far in my 2+ weeks of using it.
