Cross Contour Ballpoint Pen - Blue

Best pen I've ever owned. It is a bit on the heavy side but I am not a fan of Bic pens and like the feel os substance in my hand when I write. Smooth, easy to handle and it just plain "feels right' i own several of them. One was a gift for Teacher's Appreciation Day given to the entire staff of my high school by the principal. That was four years ago and I haven't looked back at another pen yet. Like the colors too

Excelent pen got what I expected. Very comfortable to write with. Doesn't slip from your fingers and there is no neeed to apply pressure to write. Nice looking pen at a very good price.

Very nice pen.

The blue plastic facade slowly eroded until at the six months point I stripped it all away. Pitiful for a cross.

Great pen, have purchased three of these. The thing we like best is cross pens sometimes are hand to grip not with this type. The only thing we had a hard time with is putting the refill in, the pen just pulls apart like all cross pens which was hard to do the first time making it seem like it didn't pull apart. But writes good and is easy to hold.

It's not as comfortable as it looks. Some pens are delightful to write with, this is not one of them. If you are looking for a nice pen, I'd recommend spending a little more and get a Mont Blanc.

Very well made and good looking pen. I wanted something easier to hold and grip, and the size and rubbery inserts help in this regards. It has a nice weight and balance that feels like quality, and the matte blue and contrasting chrome add to that effect. I do wish that instead of the synthetic ribs they had simply made that area bigger in diameter and added a textured pattern to the metal, because of the possibility of the rubbery material degrading over time. When I ordered this I didn't realize that it was a twist barrel style which requires both hands to manipulate, although the action is very smooth. In use I find it to work flawlessly, with the ball simply flowing over the paper, giving it a lovely feel. I ordered a Parker IM Premium pen because I wanted something with a thumb click action, but it just doesn't have the same satisfaction in use, with a slightly courser feel to the ball point; not bad, just not as pleasant. I do recommend this Cross Contour, even with the slight stipulations mentioned.

I love my new cross pens. I don't like skinny pens and this new cross wraps ever so nicely around my fingers. Nice and heavy. Beautifully made with silver chrome. I liked it so much I ordered one in red that is just as nice. They don't skip when writing. I don't like a fine point pen so I ordered med refills for both. Very attractive pens at an affordable price. You don't see cross pens at bargain stores. So pleased that amazon offers them and pen refills which are also hard to find. I love amazon and amazon prime!
