In this video, I’m reviewing the Phi Pen by Ashera — genuinely the most expensive ballpoint pen I’ve ever tried, and one that really leans into that “quiet luxury” vibe. It was kindly gifted to me (thank you, Ashera), but as always, all thoughts are my own. I walk you through the things I care about most with an everyday carry pen: build quality, materials, how it feels in the hand, and whether it’s the kind of tool that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy writing. I also dig into the writing experience and refill performance, because a premium body doesn’t mean much if the refill skips, blobs, or feels inconsistent. I share what stood out to me about how the Phi Pen performs in real use, and who I think it makes sense for — especially if you’re looking for a minimal, elevated pen to live in your planner pouch, pocket notebook setup, or daily carry. By the end, I help you decide if the price feels justified, or if it’s more of a “dream pen” than a practical purchase.
