great pen

Having tried numerous 1.4-1.6 nibs, this one is probably the best of the bunch. It skips, but it skips the least of all the thicker nib pens I have tried so far. The blue is a very nice dark blue, and this ink feels the smoothest by far when writing on paper of all the other pens in this 1.4-1.6 nib category.

Love this pen - It is smooth and effortless to use.

I love these pens. I have them in blue and black when I let someone borrow my pen they love they way it writes.

I use this and the black version exclusively. Best writing pen ever. Where is the click version??

I HAVE USED THESE PENS FOR 10 YEARS!! AT ONE POINT I COULD ONLY BUY THEM IN FRANCE....I BOUGHT 100 AT A TIME!!! I LOVE THEM!!! NO, REALLY, I LOVE THEM!! EITHER THE BLUE OR THE BLACK IS FINE. TRY THEM AND YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!

These are the smoothest ballpoints there are. They write a nice dark line, but don't goop up. Jetpens is the only place I've ever seen them. I keep reordering them as they do run out fast.

Ok, slight update to my previous review. After writing with this pen for the past few days I have to retract my prior statement, it did glob a bit at first but now it writes quite well and no longer globs. My co-workers love it because of how bold it writes and my son wants some for himself...needless to say I am ordering more, now as a matter of fact. :)

I have used this bp for a few years and the only negative for me would be it is not available in a retractable version. I have lost many tips, but this the best writing bp I have ever used. I am going to try the new Zebra Z-Mulsion EX and will give you a comparison. I only use broad pens and bp works better for me than gel.

I can't believe how smooth this ball point pen writes. I have always hated ball point pens but this one is amazing. Smooth, light and evenly distributes ink. Good reasonable price. I am going to order more.

As some one who exclusively used Crystal BICs throughout college, I can honestly say I thought that I would LOVE this pen, unfortunately...I really don't even like it.

As a plus: The ink does flow incredibly smoothly right out of the gate and the ink is really dark. (Usually only seen once you've used a smaller ball point regularly for a longer period of time.)

The negative: The wide tip shows the ink streaking that ballpoints cause to be instantly apparent. What I mean is that the ballpoint ink does not write in one clear line (say like a gel or liquid pen). Instead, as it is distributed along the page as you write, there is a clear lack of ink in some of the strokes. It's likely because the ball is so big that ink cannot be evenly distributed over it. In smaller tipped ballpoints you probably wouldn't notice it at all, but in this 1.6 mm tip you will likely see it immediately. At least, I did.

This is my favorite ball point. Writes perfectly. Like the black more than the blue. Wish it was available in a click variety.

This is my favorite ballpoint. It writes almost like a rollerball-smooth and dark.

Nice and dark, also writes smoothly but after I used it for a little while I noticed the ink started globbing on the nib and then smearing. Wouldn't buy it again.

i dont even car about the "performance" of the pen. i just love it for spinning
