Really good markers — I’ve used them for years. In fact, only Molotow has been in my collection longer. Another proof that Germans know their shit when talking about beer… I mean art supplies. Even though these are manufactured in Japan. Montana Sketchliners tie for third place with Stylefile. Again, really hard to find anything to complain. Montana Cans is a large company, like Molotow, and it shows.

Well, I gotta give this: these tend to run out faster than other markers, and if left unused for long periods, they dry out. On some papers the ink dries as dark grey instead of black, but not so much that it’d irritate me. Other than that they’re pretty reliable fineliners. Alcohol based ink, which works well with acrylics and whatnot when dry.

Now that I’ve gotten used to Pentel, I don’t think I’ll be buying these anymore though — unless I find a great deal. I used to buy mine in person from Unckan Store or Helsinki Urban Art. But you can get them from Decoväri (Helsinki) as well, if you happen to live where I do. Online I assume there’s plenty of places to choose from. Price quality ratio is good though and these come in many different sizes.
