The parts don't fit together well and it is hard to keep the pencil lead from retracting when writing

i had this same set and lost the pen and damaged the super rare pencil beyond repair.saw this and just had to have it.cross makes the best pens in the world.made from the best metals and materials.they write smooth and are nice and heavy so it doesn't take so much effort to get the pen to write on the paper.also the size of the pen is nice too

The pencil doesn't hold the lead

The pencil still works

The pencil is handsome

Right out of the box, the pencil won't advance the lead.

Great pen and pencil set for keeping books in order.

The design is flawless, has weight to it, and the mechanics that went into making this pencil is outstanding

He has been using gold cross pen and pencil sets for the last 40 years

I love the pencil and continue to order hoping that the new pencil will last longer than the previous pencil.

On the other hand, the mechanical pencil is not so easy to use as the old 1mm one

Best pen and pencil (set) at an EXCELLENT price!

I have a number of Cross pens and pencils myself and highly recommend them.

This lovely slender pencil is the only one my husband will use

I still had the pen, but had lost the pencil, and I use both.

The best pens and pencils I have ever used and now the only pens and pencils I use

I got these for my husband for our anniversary, because he loves the century brand pens and pencils for work

It does have a lighter feel, and the action isn't as smooth as a vintage Cross, but it's acceptable, especially at Amazon's price (not AT's price, which is nearly double).The pencil however, wow, what a horrible change

But what I'm really proud of at the moment are my new, bright, sweet, Cross pen and pencil.

Excellent Cross mechanical pencil to complement the matching ballpoint pen.

I enjoy writing with nicer pens / mech pencils and have been without one for a while

Feels like it is a proper mechanical pencil.

Amazing pencil smooth as can be

Great quality pen and pencil.

Nice pencil

NIce set of pen and lead pencil

This set fixes that miss, although the pencil isn't as good as it use to be...

SO, when I lost my mechanical pencil I just had to order the exact same one.

The pencil is smooth and doesn't have any wobble like you often feel in cheaper mechanical pencils.

Beautiful pencil, my mother loves it

The pencil is smooth and doesn't have any wobble like you often feel in cheaper mechanical pencils.

As someone who avoided pencils and dabbled in mathematics often, I decided to invest in a a worthwhile pencil from a reputable and legendary company.

A great pencil like this Cross pencil is worth a thousand words or a thousand crossword puzzles

They look good, but the pen runs out of ink very quickly and the pencil just stop working

I recently bought a gold cross pencil from someone else who told me it was one of the last made in America--that one was perfect

Great pencil

Great pen and pencil set, thanks for offering a great product at an awesome price!

I'd say that so far the pencil has been working just as expected --Cross quality and sound "performance

Really nice looking pencil with a solid mechanism

I like the pencil because it is easy and convenient to install the .7mm lead, and adjusting the lead for use is precise and smooth.

and then the solid 18 Karat Gold pen and pencil set

The pencil is now like all the other mechanical pencils on the market

The pencil could have some improvement.

I've used this pencil about 5 years, and I lost it about 4 months ago

Nice pencil but the insert is not as nice as the previous pencil they made

Perfect match for Cross Classic mechanical pencil.

The pen is roughly .25" in diameter or about the same size of a number 2 pencil

Great pencil until it flushed down the

I happen to hate pencils in general, as they are typically either frustratingly poorly made (most mechanical pencils suffer from the lead snapping off with little pressure applied), or just plain ugly looking.

I was so lucky to snag a Cross Brand pen and pencil set for my husband

Classic pen and pencil set

Great pen and incredible pencil

Best pen and pencil ever

I love my pencil

This model requires the user to stop and "twist" the pencil.

Isn't this a pencil?The Century model was once available as an actual pencil, with a simple twisting advancing mechanism and a writing tip sized just right for the lead to go through.

Very classy, fine point pencil.

Love this pencil.

The pencil works fine, but the barrel of the pen does not turn to release the writing point.

BTW, Amazon incorrectly says the pencil uses .05 mm leads; it actually uses 0.5 mm

Even though I am unhappy with the pencil I received, I will not be sending it back, as it is still better to write with than the cheaper pencils found in most drug store.

The pencil didn't work, and my husband decided he wanted me to return the set.

And every young man should have a fine pen and pencil set.

This pencil broke as soon as I tried to use it

Other than that a great pencil!

Love my new pencil!!!

the pencil was defective

Great pen/pencil set

Beautiful cross pencil that comes with a lifetime warranty

Sleek pen and pencil set by cross will make any business person look like a professional.

I prefer refil pencils, pens, etc., and thought, maybe new, innovated ways - why not try it out.

I have three of these, as well as the Cross pencil, because I can't bear to use plastic pens after using my Cross implements

I've always loved Cross pens and pencils since high school and this classic model is luxurious

I like this pencil because I learned early inLife that successful business men always carried Cross pencils and pens.

This is a very elegant pen and pencil set

The pencil used to be sleeker, lighter-weight, and could easily be told apart from the pen.

was very happy with this gold pen and pencil

As I said above Cross products are of first quality and very durable and besides very elegant I like them
