I work in the landscaping equipment biz and it is sometimes a dirty harsh environment. This pen is perfect for it. Hard to scratch and can really take a beating. Definitely the toughest pen i have owned

Well balanced and solid.

You know it's in your hand.  Craftsmanship is amazing.  Well worth the money.

I chose the aluminium and carbon fibre design and the quality and finish is really good. The carbon fibre is matt finish so smooth to the touch and compliments the aluminium tip and base. The pen has a weighty feel if you are used to using disposable biros, however you quickly get used to that. The bolt action deployment is solidly made and yet easy to use with just your thumb. I also like how smooth the ink flows compared to many disposable ball point pens. In all, very happy!

She's heavy in the hand but a unique nice looking pen.

Looks great, works great

This is absolutely gorgeous! From tip to barrel, no doubt a work of art. I use it for work. I use it as I write, illustrate on a table, and while I walk or stand with a folder. The weight of it is something to be noticed, it is heavy compared to a cheap plastic pen, but not you get used to it quite easy. The steel is solid with real carbon fiber. The way the tip screws on to the barrel is very precise and sturdy you’ll feel the quality that went into this. I am in love with it. As does my clients who see it and can’t keep their eyes off it.Initially I thought the bolt action was a bit too tight, but then I realized that it was just right during actual usage.Just be sure to buy the right refill tip size. Easiest I guess would be the “PARKER Ballpoint Quinkflow FINE POINT or FINE TIP (from some sellers). But make sure that the fine point is 0.5mm. If not then you gotta drill the tip to fit most refills but finding a 2.6mm drill bit is not easy in some places and I don’t want to risk modifying it coz i might damage it.In any case it is a really cool, beautiful, solid and high quality pen. Love it.

I am so in love with this pen! The weight of the steel is well-balanced and the carbon fiber adds a lovely visual and texture. The Parker refills from the 'often bought with' selection work perfectly, couldn't be happier. I have not tested the glass breaker yet but will add to this review if/when I do.8-26-2021 Update -Still in love with this pen, it has literally encouraged me to get back on my writing after a long period of "not having the time." I love the feel of writing with it and this is by far one of my most durable EDC tools. It's been dropped a few times on concrete and tile at work (I currently work as a server so even at work I write constantly) but the design keeps it from scarring. A fine grain polishing emory board to the heavy end for any nicks or scratches and you're good to go. The carbon fiber is still flawless not a scratch on it and the bolt mechanism still works the same as day 1. I've had to replace the ink a few times when it was dropped while open though, tends to destroy the tip of the cartridge with the added weight. Going to try the Schmitt cartridges next time but the Parkers aren't bad, I prefer them over the default cartridge the pen came with.

I love this pen. I've had it for around 3 years now and use it every day at work the design ins comfortable and very easily fits in my shirt pocket. I have had some of the coating start to come off from alot of use but it's not horrible. I would buy another

Love it

Incredible pen. Hefty weight, bolt action keeps the pen retracted in my pocket. Writes great. The carbon fiber looks awesome too. I highly recommend this pen.

Great looking pen. Funtion is excellent and heavy duty. Very stout. My new favorite pen.

Use this pen everyday!!! Works all the time.

A very nice writing device!

This is a great looking pen and it has some serious heft to it. Nevermind using it as a blunt force object in a fight if you need it, you can throw this at someone and do a good bit of damage. But because of the weight it'll take some getting used to when writing for prolonged periods. The regular ballpoint insert isn't really my thing, so I've already replaced it with the Bastion gel insert. Unfortunately the Pilot G2 Gel refills won't fit in the barrel. Overall it's a great pen so far that feels like it'll last forever and the bolt action is great to fidget with when you're bored.
