A Comfortable Pen
Comfortable in the hand, easy to maintain a good grip. Ballpoint is about the right size for most writing tasks.

Poor Quality
These pens are not good. You can barely see the ink unless you push hard. They weren’t cheap, but they are cheap in quality.

Ball Point Great
Like it very much. Nice feel in the hand and the written words it produces are crisp, clear and black. I’ve gotten away from this type of pen for the gel-ink variety but this one is satisfying to use.

Not just a pen 🖊️
I like to buy pens that my coworkers don’t have so it’s easier for me to take them back from them when they come up missing. This is the softest pen I’ve ever used it has a little weight on it to let you know it’s not just a regular pen

great pen but a bit hard to hold
I really like the look of this pen and it is a great writing tool. For my grip I had to put a finger grip on it but it has become for my journaling. I will buy again

Nice Writing pen
It’s very light, comfortable. It writes smooth. It’s not what you call a bold point pen. The only downside, when I drop it in the floor, the clip part looked slightly chipped. Overall it’s a good writing pen.

Great pens
I really like these pens. They write really well and are soft to the touch. I'm such a pen snob too, so I am pretty picky and HATE pencils. Highly suggest these!

Ink is really light
The feel of the pen is amazing. I loved the weight. The ink itself was awful! Way to light for my taste. I like the ink more bold.

Perhaps a little above average
Pen is a decent quality but ink is too light.
