Parker Urban Rollerball Pen, Premium Ebony Metal Chiselled with Fine Point Black Ink Refill (1931614)

I got this with a gift certificate present for my birthday as a nice but relatively inexpensive rollerball pen. I've been using some Paker Jotter ballpoint pens, which are good, but I've always preferred rollerball pens to ballpoints.I picked the London Cab Black finish which looks very nice. And surprisingly (based on the fact that the rollerball was only $20), the pen has a nice bit of heft to it that I personally prefer.It writes very well, although I should note that while it comes with a fine black ink refill that worked perfectly well, I personally prefer medium blue refills. As a result, I also purchased this to go with it: Unibene Parker Compatible Rollerball Refill 6 Pack, 0.7mm Medium Point. This is not a Parker refill but one from a German gel ink manufacturer, and these refills work great.Overall, I was very, very happy with this purchase. For the $20 price, the value is excellent.

If you don't or can't use a fountain pen, this rollerball is a classy alternative. Nice weight - almost the same as the fountain pen and it has the same tapered shape. Easy flowing ink so it is very smooth to write with, but remember rollerball ink takes a little bit longer to dry than ballpoint ink, so take your time to avoid smudging.

Quality pen with nice flowing ink that writes a beautiful thin line. Nice weight in your hand. Not too heavy but enough to know you have something of meaning as you write. I purchased some medium refills as well and if you like a bolder statement those would be best. To me the finer line thickness is just a tad more eloquent. The Parker Urban is my writing instrument for life. Only change in the future will be to add another Urban... maybe the gold and black one!!

Very good quality. Love the feel. What I feel ods is the replacement ink which feels scratchy to the paper and drags my handwritting which is unconfortable. I will order another refill with different characteristics that roll more smoothly

This is a beautiful pen for the money and writes really well after replacing the .5mm Parker rollerball refill with a .7mm Parker Quink rollerball refill. I've tried the Ubene refills but the Parkers are smoother and more consistent from my experience. Very happy with it!

I'm sure there are posh individuals who will see my review and sneer but this is the best pen I've ever used. It's nicely weighted and writes very smoothly. I got this as a gift for my wife for her journaling, etc and she loves it.

Works well each day.

The media could not be loaded.  It is a nice looking pen, smooth and feel good and in hand. it's feel unbalanced when the cap on the other side while writing but you will get used to it. I still like writing without putting the cap on the other side it just feel better. Over all it is a nice and good quality pen.
