CROSS ATX - Basalt Ballpoint Pen with Chrome Plated Attributes + Box, Black

Nice texture to hold, perfect weight, can’t fault. Highly recommended.

Lovely pen, simple design, well made without being too expensive. If I lost it I wouldn't be happy but at least it wouldn't cost the earth to replace. This pen is a really good deal at this price point for.-It's a twist action ballpoint so no annoying clickety, clickety.-Good wide shape in the hand without too much width.-Changing refills is easy. You remove the top half unscrew the refill and put a new one in it's place. Quite secure.-Fits penloops from Leuchttrum1917 perfectly incase you want to attach it to a notebook.

The pen looks and feels great. My only disappointment is that it didn't have an ink cartridge with it, and I'd not ordered any cartridges as the description said it came with one. Only a minor gripe, the pen will be great when I get to use it. Arrived in great time too. My refill arrived, and as expected the pen is so good, it writes beautifully!! I love it!!

Perfect weight, writes beautifully, feels comfortable in the hand. Classic pen & nicely presented in its box.

I made sure I'd read reviews and asked qustions of other buyers before going ahead with the purchase of this pen. I didn't want a slimline pen, or something that is "scratchy" to write with. When I opened the box and picked it up for the first time, it was much lighter than I expected it to be. This is not a criticism, just an observation when compared to the really heavyweight Cross pen I already have. I expected the build quality to be more substantial like the pen I already have. Having said all that, the pen is silky smooth on the paper, and a real pleasure to write with. From a writing experience point of view, the nicest fountain pen I've ever owned. At 35 quid odd this is a no brainer----a bargain must have. Seller was prompt with free delivey too!

Seems great quality don't understand where other comments are coming from. If your hands are sweaty it can be a bit slippery but if you put a small black sticker pad thing on the bottom of it it is hardly noticeable and stops that slipping. However, it doesn't slip unless you literally are soaking wet. The quality seems nice, just a shame I didn't get it engraved. The design looks even cooler in person too. The texture of the brushed metal is really nice and is in nice contrast to the chrome grip. Would defo buy again but would get an engraving.

I love Cross pens. They have really good ink flow and writes smoothly. However this product didn’t not come with 2 ink cartridges as described in the contents. Have to spend more to get a converter and few cartridges which is a shame really considering the cost of the pen itself .

Updated review:I WAS happy, until the pen stopped working about 3 weeks in. No ink flow. No amount of flushing did the trick. Tried all different paper and angles, thinking it was my style maybe which had changed. But no.I have now had to send it for replacement, and because it's a US firm, this style and nib was not available. I was initially told it would take 2 weeks. This has now been forecast at almost 2 MONTHS instead. I've seen other reviews saying the manufacturer has changed to a Chinese company - maybe this is the cause of the defect but it's something to be wary of.Original review:Just a great pen. Feels great for weight. Glides over the page. Fine nib brings re-fine-ment. Ink flow great. Rose gold feels & looks wonderful. Very happy buyer & writer.
