However, if you replace the supplied Parker ink cartridge with a five dollar 'Fisher Space Pen' cartridge Fisher 64003 BLACK BALLPOINT PEN REFILL - MEDIUM POINT, it becomes one of the most durable and reliable writing instruments there is.

A really great, classic writing instrument.

One of my all time favorite writing instruments

it,s just a wonderful hand writing instrument, comfortable in the hand ,but only like black ink!!

Overall smooth writing instrument.

I like my pens to be a bit bigger, but a lovely writing instrument, nonetheless.

This has been my favorite writing instrument for over 10 years now

Disappointing in what was a great writing instrument that felt solid some time ago
