The BIC Glide Bold Retractable Ballpoint Pens are my go-to for smooth, bold writing. The B point provides a thick, vibrant line that’s perfect for both note-taking and journaling. The retractable feature is super convenient, and the grip feels comfortable in my hand, making them perfect for long writing sessions. I’ve tried other pens, but these are by far the best for smoothness and boldness. Highly recommend for anyone who likes a clean, bold pen that glides across the paper effortlessly! Read more

A bold script writing pen. Want a pen that makes heavy black lines. You will need one with a larger hole in the pen point. I think this one has a 1.6mm one which is double than the ones you buy. Smooth writing and very bold. I like it. Read more

I'm in the medical field, do a lot of writing and signing, and it all needs to be bold enough to be read easily in original and copy form. PROs 1. These are BOLD. Much bolder than a 1pt. 2. I'm also in school this year so I've written reams of notes since purchasing these in January. It's the end of summer semester and I have been going to school non-stop this year. I still have more than half the box of 36 left. 3. Also the clickers always work, none have stuck. 4. No dry ones in the box so far. Cons: #1. They dribble - in other words, sometimes too much ink comes out and creates a bleb on the page, causing the writing to become illegible. #2. They will smudge if fingers touch the writing before the writing is dry. They also smudge if you go over them with a highlighter, even if they have dried. #3. Because of 1 and 2 above, it can be difficult to write small with them. They are not suitable where you need to have clear, fine letters, such as in your Bible for instance. Nevertheless, they are great for my purposes. Read more
I love bold point pens (1.6 mm ballpoint), which sadly are getting harder to come by these days. I have the Crystal Stick version also, both are smooth writing with rich ink, but I love that these are retractable so i don't have to keep track of not losing the cap. The Velocity also has a comfortable grip whereas the Crystal Stick is simply a clear stick pen. I can clip the retractable pen on my clothes (lapel or waistband) as I'm walking around at work & always have it on hard without accidentally getting ink all over me. I'm possessive of my bold pens. These only last me an average of about 2-3 wks each at work & everybody loves the smooth bold pens I wrote with but sorry they have to buy their own. Great prices here for a large box that lasts a while, I buy both black and blue ink to interchange as desired. Great pens, I hope Bic doesn't stop making them! They do not dry out over the long haul (so far). Read more
I write with pressure so fine point pens only cut the paper. This is bold enough to avoid the cut/torn paper; although it did not seem to be 1.6 mm…it feels more like a 1.2 mm. Regardless, I am still satisfied and recommend this. Note: it did smudge a bit when I rubbed it too quickly. Read more
