This pen will also take the Pilot G-2 refills! All you have to do is cut the Pilot refill down to size - I lined up the Pilot refill next to the Kaweco refill that came with the pen and simply cut off the excess plastic and voila! Although the Kaweco liquid roller is excellent in terms of ink flow, smoothness and color, I am a huge fan of the Pilot G2 gel ink, which is a less expensive alternative to the Kaweco refills.

Great, little pen! Excellent writing instrument that you can carry with you in your pants pocket or wherever space is limited. The roller writes very smoothly with no skipping or bleeding. You might consider buying the clip if you plan on carrying this in a suit coat/shirt pocket. Don't be fooled by its diminutive size. When you open the pen and post the cap on the back, it fits nicely in your hand. It also pais nicely with the matching fountain pen and the black leather case.

I found this brand from another retailer but didn't want to wait for international shipping. This is a different rollerball than the norm. It takes the international short ink cartridges often associated with fountain pens. The pen rolls smoothly and writes well. It is also very compact and it and its companion fountain pen are in the case and go with me most places. Excellent pen and most excellent value.

The design, weight, and size of this pen make it a great everyday carry. However, it will scratch, so don't get too emotionally attached. BTW, if you're looking for a blue refill, the Retro 51 Tornado refills (a Schmidt P8127 short) will work. Does Schmidt make every refill on Mother Earth?

These also make a super ballpoint if you want - take out the rollerball refill, add a parker size ballpoint refill WITH A SPRING, and you are ready to go.
