Writes good and looks expensive with the color I purchased. Read more
5 stars product, great quality Read more
This item is thicker than the Jotter XL, slightly shorter, and slightly heavier. Perfect! It has the typical strong spring/action from Parker with very smooth writing. I recommend this over the Jotter XL and the blue color is nice, too. Read more
When I was in high school, I used to write with a cheap Bic pen. It was all I could afford but they consistently "blobbed" - left ink marks on the paper that easily smudged. Since we wrote everything - no computers back then - a good handwriting and a clean presentation were key to papers and tests submitted for grading. Onc day, a teacher was writing with an original Parker T Ball jotter - a classic USA made pen with a great refill and a nice "click". He let me try it and I was hooked. Back then when a Bic was less than a quarter, the Parker was around $2.00. It was a stretch for me since my part time job paid $1.50 and hour but I saved up and bought one (still have it!!). It was the first slide on the slippery slope to becoming a pen geek. Anyway, when I saw this on Amazon, I decided that I had to have it for my collection. So glad I did because typical Parker quality is still there. The refill too is exactly like the original T ball refill - large capacity, zero "blobbing" and smooth writing. You have to know that Parker-style refills are found in many top quality pens so you know that these are great. I did pull back one star because the barrel is a little slippery making writing experience less than perfect (for me). However, don't be discouraged from trying this pen. It could be your "one good pen" because it's well made, has a nice "click" and a strong clip that holds the pen securely in your pocket. Overall, it works well for me despite the slight slippery feel - plus it's very pretty! Read more
Super expensive pen but if you're into fine writing instruments like myself.....well worth the price!! Read more
You don't realize the difference of a well made pen until you use one. The balance of the pen is amazing and comforting. It makes writing effortless. The ballpoint ink is smooth. This is also ecologically friendly, since you can replace ink insert and not the whole pen. In fact you can swap out the standard ink, er, Quinik insert and use a Quink gel insert to add the satisfaction of hypersmoothness with this finely crafted implement. Read more
