BIC Cristal Original, Ballpoint Pens, Every-Day Biro Pens with Fine Point (0.8 mm), Ideal for School and Office, Black, Pack of 50

I do a lot of writing, notes, letters, etc, and I’ve been using BIC pens since the 70s, great pens, good variety of colors.

My go to BIC fine point ballpoint pen of choice!!! My favorite thing to draw my artwork with.

Old fashioned, very high quality. Perfect writing tool. Ink does not smear. The pen never fails. It will give continuous high quality performance until the very last drop of ink is gone. Perfect for nurses, teachers and those writing on legal documents. Ultra fine point for small or detailed writing (very difficult to find these days). They last “forever”.

I like it because you can see how much ink you have left without taking a chance and finding out that the whole pen is empty. If you use the other pens you may be out of ink and not even know it.

I use these pens in my math class to correct the math mistakes The students write over the pencil mistake and the ink is thin enough for them to write small.

Update: It was just a bad pen. I used a few more and they write fine. I was really hoping I didn't have to return them. They seem like a great fit and they write great. 12/23/22 The first pen started off fine but got lighter and lighter along the way. Had me 2nd guessing the paper in my journal bk that I've written in all year. Gonna try more pens & update if anything changes. I may have gotten a bad box. BUMMER!

These pens have a transparent orange/yellow barrel instead of the solid color orange, and they are actually a tiny bit thinner and lighter than the classic BIC Cristal. I can distinguish them from the regular ones with my eyes closed, even though they appear to be the same. I am very sensitive to the size and weight of pens, and so I don't care for these as much as I do the standard size. That said, they have been working fine and should meet the needs of all users who are not as particular as I am.

I love these pens. The classic Cristal but in a fine point!!! I just wish the barrel was not orange!! Otherwise, they're great!!!
