Kaweco Ice Sport Ballpoint Pen - 1.0 mm - Yellow Body

Upgrade the refill! Cute pen, but the ballpoint refill that comes with the pen is atrocious in that it skips and requires all sorts of pressure to lay down a straight, solid line of ink. I agree with Jetpens' recommendation to upgrade the refill to a Sharbo or Pilot D-1. However, the D-1 mini refills do not last long, given their very small size - which can run out while taking copious notes. The Kaweco rollerball is the more economical choice, given its greater versatility in being able to use rollerball, ballpoint or even G-2 refills, while maintaining its excellent portability due to its equally small size.

Is a cute and small pen. Good for taking notes at quiet places, as library, because doesn't have a click sound.

As a nurse I need a pen that can be clipped onto scrubs and forgotten. This pen, coupled with the Sports Clip, is THE perfect pen for work because it's never in the way.

I love my other Kaweco products and was excited to finally get a ballpoint pen. I tried the aluminum or carbon bodied ballpoint pen recently but didn't buy it and decided on the sport body because it's lighter weight and less expensive. I'm not overwhelmed by the performance but I like it ok. I wish it was a bit smoother and maybe a larger tip. (?) I'm thinking of changing the refill and hope that improves things. I like the width of the body and will leave it without a pen clip for now.
I'll definitely try another pen besides the fountain pen I already have and this one, just because. My son loves the mechanical pencil and might have to get another one for myself.
