By sos...

I bought this as a gift, and was really worried about the scraping sound and writing performance but the sound is fine (I was expecting nails on chalkboard) and it writes smoothly. Although, the button is loose enough to rattle a little while writing, which is more annoying than the scraping sound imo.

By jnapieralski

Plunger makes a hollow, unpleasant metal-on-metal scraping sound with each click and is loose enough to rattle, especially in the down position. Ink is unremarkable at best. Clip seems solid. I like the color of the body, but the whole thing is larger and more ostentatious than I'd prefer.

I really like the body of this pen. Looks great and isn't too heavy for a metal bodied pen, though the mechanism is a bit clacky. I added a longer spring to improve the action. The stock clear plastic ink refill was a bit disappointing, though. Scratchy and not much different than a cheap Bic pen. Maybe the metal A.G. Spalding refills are better? Does anybody have experience with the refills? They've been sold out so I haven't been able to try them. Instead, I took a spare Pental Selfit refill and modified it to fit. Quite a bit better, though the Uniball Jetstream refills are the smoothest. I might try to modify that to fit.

Nice pen. A bit bulky but overall comfortable with smooth ink flow. Good pen for the price and would recommend it to anyone

Overall, this is a pretty nice pen. It has decent ink flow (although could be better), and it's very proffesional. It's body is beautifully crafted, and this is reccomended for general businesses and architects.

The pen feels lighter than I thought it would be for a pen with a metal body. The clicking system feels a little flimsy. I'm not sure I really like this pen as much as I hoped. The ballpoint doesn't write better than a cheap papermate ballpoint pen. But this pen looks good and people will comment positively on it.

This pen looks very professional and elegant. This pen is great for writers, engineers, etc. The navy blue is a very good choice (a lot better than the silver in my opinion). I want to get this pen so badly.

Not a huge fan of this pen. It's heavy so when I dropped it about a foot once and it made a huge dent on the top silver cap area. It writes well but it just isn't how I like my pens.

This is a very nice pen and well worth the price. I think the only ballpoints in the $15-$20 price range that I would rate higher would be the Caran d'Ache 849 and the Lamy Safari.

However, it is a pity that Spalding has seemingly discontinued the wood series ballpoints. They had the same fine quality and affordable price. The orange one was particularly nice. JP doesn't sell them but stay away from the Spalding 'Streamline' collection. I think they are the line that replaced the wood ballpoints. They are a cheap plastic and of an obviously lower quality. Spalding has them for $15 but I'm not sure they are even worth half that.

I own five of these and I am happy I found this website. Good weight, writes smooth, and they look fantastic. The blue is better looking than the silver (in my opinion). I found a little trick in terms of refills, they use zebra f-refills. The refills offered on this website are reasonably priced it is just easy to get the f-refills if you need them.
