CrossStratford Satin Black Ballpoint Pen AT0172-3

This may be the finest ballpoint pen I have ever had in my 62 years. It fits my hand perfectly, glides across the paper, and has a classic look. For a modest price you get a pen that feels, writes, and looks like one that is much more expensive. I give this my highest recommendation.

Pen is very nice, unfortunately the ink is not cross and does not came out of tip correctly. Lucky I had refills already. Disappointed

Cross Stratford Satin Black Ballpoint Pen AT0172-3Do not buy. The Satin Black paint on the pen is lifting and stripping away within 3 months of using the pen. With the base metal showing the pen looks terrible and not practical to use. I am noticing several similar complaints from other buyers. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PENS.

I love this pen! It writes extremely smoothly, has a solid feel with no loose parts, and my fingers don't slip when I'm writing. I use it daily and can write for long periods of time without fatigue.

I like how the pen writes, but it doesn't hold up in the long run. The paint is peeling right off the pen. Not as attractive as it used to be. I expected more from Cross.

No issues.

Excellent product, very elegant, very pleased and would recommend to people. Excellent presentation, its price is excelenete, all very well.

While this pen exhibits legendary Cross craftsmanship and quality, I dislike the design. There is too much of a taper right where I grip the pen; it's hard to hold on to.

J'ai choisi ce stylo pour faire un cadeau. La boîte était abîmée et il y avait un phrase écrite en anglais sur la notice. Le stylo était en bon état.

Muy bonito , merece la pena por el precio que tiene.

Für den Preis ein schönes, relativ edel wirkendes Schreibgerät in gewohnter Cross-Qualität!Der Stift könnte für meinen Geschmack etwas schwerer sein, um noch hochwertiger zu wirken. Aber das ist Geschmackssache.Sehr gut gefällt mir, daß der Stift MATT ist.Ein edles matt-schwarz gefällt mir deutlich besser als die vielen glänzenden Stifte in dieser Preisklasse.Warum einen Stern Abzug?:Cross verwendet, wie gewohnt, sein eigenes Minen-System.Diese sind nicht an jeder Ecke zu kriegen.Und im direkten Vergleich finde ich das Schreibgefühl mit Wettbewerbsprodukten in der gleichen Preisklasse deutlich besser.(Aber die passen halt nicht)
