Parker Jotter Royal Blue CT Ballpoint Pen, Blister pack

I'm surprised at how much I really love this little pen. I was annoyed with the shelf pens at the store. For one, I prefer a thinner pen over a thicker one, and two, I hate how all the pens have the huge rubber grips. While the grips aren't uncomfortable, they cause allot of problems with pen holders in notebooks etc... makes the holders rather useless. This is the perfect size. The stainless steel pen is simple, elegant, and tough-which may be the most important part. This pen has been wonderful to use. While the ink cartridge that came with this pen was great and writes extremely smoothly and evenly, I replaced with the PARKER QUINK Ballpoint Pen Gel Ink Refills and am SUPER happy with it. I just prefer gel ink. As a side note: the gel ink drys extremely fast. I haven't had one smudge, and my hands run back all over what I write pretty rapidly. Yet not one smudge. Finally a pen that's simple, writes well, and is sturdy enough to deal with me beating it up all day. Totally worth the price in my book. Once I have a favorite pen, I tend to keep them around until they finally kick the bucket. This will last through many ink refills.

Parker Jotter is one of my all time favourite pens. Good weight and slim barrel makes it comfortable to hold and write with. Reasonable price is also a plus.

Does feel very light, making it feel cheaper. Person commented below saying that they received a plastic body pen but the item in the photo is what I received too and can confirm it is metal, not plastic (the plastic body jotters have a silver nib at the bottom). That said, can't fault them for thinking it's plastic as it doesn't look like metal. This also comes in hangsell packaging, which is listed in the description, not a box if anyone was planning on gifting and hoping for that. Definitely not worth it for full price. I bought at almost half the price and I still wouldn't really recommend since the chrome trim apparently comes off after a while.

Quality is better than mabe by Luxor India.

This pen is great, which I would definitely hope so for the price. Clicks like a gunshot, quality materials, high quality fit and finish, and a clip that you don't have to physically lift to clip it to something. To take a moment for my random soapbox, I find that so many pens have clips that are so tight you can't just clip the pen to something; you have to either pinch the clip in such a way to force the clip up a bit, or press very hard while holding the material you want to clip to so it won't buckle. It's such a silly thing to like about this pen, but I like that I can tuck it into the spiral of my notebook or into a breast pocket (yes I am a nerd thank you) without having to think about it). It's not a cheap pen (and if you borrow this pen from someone and try to walk away with it, expect a swift and brutal retribution) but buy once, cry once.
