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'm an avid pen collector. I've tried tons of different kinds of pens (including home made ones) looking for the one special pen that I would love enough to be an EDC pen. I'm sooo happy to say that my search is over!First of all, it's BEAUTIFUL! The perfect design for literally every situation. I use mine for EDC and in an office setting and it's perfect.Second, it's built like a TANK! it's durable enough that I'm okay just tossing it in my pocket, and not worried if it's going to get crushed or bend if I try sitting or bending too quickly. Also, the fact that it's a little bigger and thicker makes it easier to retrieve out of my pocket. It doesn't sink to the bottom like smaller pens do. The weight of it is also surprising to me! I was expecting it to be made with cheap materials, but this was REALLY all metal. giving it a very nice weight. More comfortable to use than the average pen for people with larger hands.thirdly, the insert of it! I almost didn't buy it because I was worried a few people said that Parker inserts didn't fit very well into it. I was originally gonna try and find a parker insert that fit as soon as I got it, but after using the BASTION insert, I was very impressed. In my opinion, I think it might even work better than parker. No dead spots, very smooth on all papers, except for sticky notes, the enemy of ALL my pens. lol. I'll be buying a pack of BASTION refills once this one dies on me. Only time will tell if those work just as well as my original. I know they usually don't, but I'm excited to find out.The only thing I kind of wish is that it was just a LITTLE bit longer... but other than that, it's really a pleasure to write with. Should this pen ever fail me, I will absolutely be buying another!

I am a bit of a pen addict and have about 20 pens ranging from Montblanc and Visconti to more EDC type pens like the Prometheus Alpha, Tactile Turn, and Machine Era. That said, this is probably one of my favorite pens because it just offers the best value and every time I carry it I'm reminded of how little it costs in relation to some of my other pens and how great it is in almost every way.Before buying it I was concerned because everywhere it said that you could only fit "Parker QUINKflow Ballpoint Pen Fine Tip Refill, exclusively." It even said so on the box it came in. That is a LIE, the second I got it I fitted it with a Schmidt 9000 M (Fit perfectly) and the pen became an affordable dream. It's as solid as a tank, looks good, the bolt action is fabulous, and the pen rights well and will last forever.My only gripes with the pen are 1-It is a bit heavy, but honestly, I'm not writing a novel with it so I actually enjoy the heft because it makes it feel so much more solid than some of my other pens and 2-The clip, I wish it had a deep carry clip but that is a minor issue for such an inexpensive pen that excels in so many other ways.BUY THIS PEN! You won't regret it.

Love this pen. Very well built and solid action. Feels substantial and quality in the hand. Very pleased with the fit and finish. I'll be buying a Titanium version soon. Great pen and highly recommend.

This pen is awesome!  Terrific price and for the quality!Looks great; fit and finish is flawless.Balanced and comfortable in the hand and a pleasure to write with.Uses standard Parker refills.  Ballpoint and Gel work in the pen perfectly.
