Summary: BEST PEN ON EARTH
Comment: Ya so i bought this pen my freshman year of highschool and it is the best pen i have ever purchased. i had one in 6th grade and i lost it and then i saw one of my teachers with the same pen so i don't know about that. anyway this is a great pen the only thing that i did was buy the fine point to replace the medium that it comes with. I carry this pen in my pocket now where ever i go and i use it all of the time. it is the perfect weight to write with and also it isn't too long so it is easy to throw in your pocket like i do.

Summary: A Fantastic, Sturdy, Unassuming Pen
Comment: Not too heavy with a firm feel in your hand. Clean, utilitarian steel lines. An always satisfying sturdy "click" when depressed. This ball-point pen stands above the rest in its sheer joy of writing use. Avoid the later, plastic models. Built to last, make sure to order refills. This fine little pen will not disappoint.

Summary: Still a classic- Still classy-WAY less expensive than certain other brands, but better all the same.
Comment: This Parker pen, especially with the optional gel refill, is a stylish, classy pen that looks at least as good as some of those other, more expensive pens, and writes very well, with very little leakage. As a left hander, I also appreciate the quick drying ink and the left-handed friendliness of the pen. The pen is also quite durable, and the refills are readily available at most office stores. Incidentally, the pens are made in thesame U.K. factory that manufactured Valentine pens, with the same quality. This pen lives up to its legacy, unlike some of those other pens that have become nothing but cheaply made, expensively priced knock-offs of themselves. Oh, and by the way, these cost a tenth of the price of those other pens.
This pen, the Pilot G7 and its family of products and the Pentel EnerGel are my big three at this point.

Summary: Consider the plastic-barreled version
Comment: -
The barrel of this pen is all stainless steel, which looks nice but feels slippery as you're trying to write. Parker makes the same pen with a plastic barrel, which is easier to grip but looks less sleek. In other words, there is a tradeoff between looks and functionality, in my opinion. This is an excellent pen in every other way, with solid build quality, sturdy clip, and confident push-button mechanism. Parker's ballpoint refill, which was reformulated sometime around 2002, is the best I've used, beating Montblanc, Pelikan, Cross, PaperMate, and BIC ballpoint refills in terms of smoothness, consistency, and smudge resistance. For me, this pen (with plastic barrel) is the ideal ballpoint for everyday, all-purpose use.

Summary: Stylish yet Sturdy
Comment: I discovered Parker Stainless Steel Ballpoints as I was finishing up graduate school in the mid 1980s. I was first attracted by the Stainless Ballpoint's classic stylish looks. (I prefer the gold click & clip model, but have also happily used the silver stainless "classic".)
Until my discovery of Parkers I had used Pilots, Papermates, Shaffers, and Crosses with varying degrees of success. (I left Cross pens due to their excessive costs. Shaffers easily brake. Pilot and Papermate inks soon fade to invisibility!) I have been using, and recommending, Parkers ever since.
Parker's Stainless Ballpoint is sturdy and durable. I have used them to print, of course, and to point, pry, and pound. Never have I permanently damaged one. (With excessive torque Parker Stainless pens will bend. I have re-straightened Parkers with vice grips.) Parker Stainless Ballpoints are rugged and take considerable abuse and keep on working. (Once, the internal plastic clicker malfunctioned, for the only mishap I've ever experienced with a Parker.)
I also like Parker's ink formula. I began my career with blue medium and later moved to black fine. For the past 15 years I have used Parker's fine blue. The refills cost between 10% and 50% less than the Cross pen refills (depending on the vendor).
Parker ink dries quickly (rarely leaving a smudge under left-handers). It doesn't wobble (i.e. floating away from the point of application) as do some pithy contemporary inks. Parker ink has brilliant color, is attractive, and easy to read.
I've notice, over the years, that Parker ink does not fade. Twenty year old journal entries, tax records, and business notes are not faded to date. (I've become curious about how long Parker ink will perform.)
I have given Parker Stainless Ballpoints as gifts, awarded them for achievement, and presented them with gratitude. They are excellent gift candidates. (Others have always been impressed with this pen's classic beauty and the Parker name.)
If you are in the market for a nice looking sturdy pen with ink that doesn't wobble or fade I suggest you try the Parker Stainless Ballpoint. Amazon.com's price is excellent. Get yours soon.
