Parker Jotter, blk, Blister, Old Model

I'm not sure why Parker would sell a black pen with a blue refill in it. Strange. Not to worry. The first thing I did when I got this pen is ditch the refil and replace it with a space pen cartridge.I use this pen on a daily basis at work, albeit not with the original parker in cartridge in it. I like the stye. It's a classic. It reminds me of when I was a child and my mum had a Royal Bank of Scotland cheque-book in a blue plastic wallet. Contained within was a Parker Jotter pen. It was her favourite pen, and I can understand why. It just feels right in the hand. The plastic barrel is comfortable. It's not overly hot or cold like metal can be. It is easy to grip, and just the right size.The clip is useful, and the pop-up mechanism has a reassuring light 'clunk'. This is a marvel of design.This particular pen has been in my possession for the last two and a bit years and is still going strong. Sure, it has picked up a few scuffs along the way, but the clip is still there, and there is not a hint of degradation in the pen mechanism.I daresay I will lose it (probably to a light-fingered colleague) before it stops working.

its a good pen-use it for school , but the writing on it telling us where it is made just rubs off

Fantastic! Definitely the best pen I have ever used. Sleek, stylish and great to write with. Have received several compliments at work in regards to both the look and feel of this pen.Really like the design, they have slightly updated it but it's still as good. This particular seller is selling at a great price as they are much more expensive in physical shops. Will be purchasing a few!

This Parker pen is very robust and is comfortable to write with, excellent for long exams!The ink supplied is blue, not black; however, the same company do sell black refills, which is what I also purchased.The only downside is that the pen just comes loosely in the envelope. I wasn't expecting a gift box or anything, I just hoped that it was in some sort of Parker packaging.Nevertheless, a great Parker Pen for a decent price!

A great value pen which can take Parker of Fisher Spacepen refills. Very comfortable and at this price it goes missing you won't worry too much.

It is a simple ballpen with good price and easy to use, fluid line, robust and durable.In my opinion is one of the best parker products.I've got many Parker items as ballpens and fountain pens and my Parker experience is the simpler, the better.

The one time I didn't read the reviews and this turns up. As others have said this is a shadow of its former self, weight has been slashed and the balance feels odd. The finish fell well short of expectations. For the price it's okay but I wouldn't buy another.

Lovely pen, and writes a treat, ink is also outstanding.Only downfall is that the pen just comes in an envelope, so it looks as if you have already owned the pen if you are giving it as a gift, where as if the pen was purchased in shops, they either come in boxes or at least cardboard/ plastic packaging.
