Parker IM Ballpoint Pen | Premium Black | Medium Point Blue Ink | Gift Box

It is a gorgeous pen that writes so nice. I also enjoy the satisfaction of the lid. It's nicely weighted and feels good quality. Love it so much.

Parker pens might have something of a 'perfect for the older person' image problem thanks to Michael Parkinson and those life insurance advert giveaways. However, truth be told, Parker have always made some really rather nice pens in the mid-range priced sector of the market. Sure, a rollerball is a rollerball (regardless of price) if all you are looking at is whether it lets you write or not. If you want something that is going to last, rather than a disposable item, then for this older gentleman (is early 50's older gentleman territory these days?) Parker hits the spot.This is your genuine article, not some cheap far eastern clone. The packaging is impressive if you are giving this as a gift, but I'd have preferred a blister pack option to keep the waste down if I'm honest.The pen itself is a delight to hold; perfectly balanced in the hand if you ask me. Although I am a professional writer (a veteran technology journalist and author with some 30 years in the business now) my work-a-day writing tool is, sadly, the keyboard. So it's really nice to have a 'proper pen' for when I'm jotting down notes, writing poetry for my partner or even making a shopping list.There have been some complaints in the reviews that the rollerball ink flow is patchy, especially at the start of writing. However, I don't find this to be the case. The supplied Parker 'Quink' fine black refill behaves exactly as I would expect it to and, again, is a delight to use.

As I said, I absolutely love this Pen. I have owned Parker products in the past. Recently though I have been lucky enough to own a Mont Blanc Pen. However unfortunately I lost it.As with other people I find myself having to budget with everything. I needed a pen as I am writing a book, I write poetry, and am working on a screenplay. I prefer to actually write rather than use a computer.This pen from Parker is great. It has a lovely feel to it when writing. It feels like a quality pen. I chose the matt black finish and it's very cool.If I found myself in a position where I needed to buy another pen, I would not think twice about ordering it again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ again Amazon.

Quite a nice rollerball pen, has some weight to it, but I like it. Cap opens really smoothly, which is satisfying. Amazing finishes both on lacker and steel. However, refill came damaged, there is a visible dent with small ink spill coming out of it. Since, the pen will be used as a present, I will have to buy a new refill.

Why did you choose this product over others?:I particularly like Parker ball pens because they are refillable and good value for money. They have a good surface to hold my grip therefore good to use.

Brilliant workhorse pen with easy to obtain refills in the UK and US markets.

Great pen. Great price. Parker is still a quality brand if you buy the right type from the right seller.

Sadly, the most of the stuff today is an exceptionally low quality. My Parker pen is not an exception... The ink is leaking inside the pen for unknow reason, and every time I have to use the pen I get all my hands covered in ink like a kindergarten kid who was strangling an octopus. In order to fix it I have replaced the rollerball ink refill from Parker in the hopes that this leaking ink thing will go away, but it didn't. The replaced ink refill also leaks. I don't want to use this pen anymore. My pants and T-shirt also in black marks all over.
