Everyman Grafton Pen, EDC Pen with Premium Gel Ink, Luxury Metal Writing, Gift for Office, Business, Executive (Bundle, Black)

A very nice addition to my writing and drawing tools. The everyman black ink is smooth and glides on paper. Very pleasant feeling. The mechanical pen has a good grip and weight. Good product.

I've now owned several of these pens, and they are easily my favorite pens of all time.At $30 as of the time of writing this, this is the best option on the market if you like Pilot G2 refills. There are plenty of good metal pens; however, limiting that to those that work well with the Pilot G2 creates a very small or expensive list.The pen itself has a great feel. When they are brand new, the mechanism may have a grindy feel. However, that goes away fairly quickly with use. You can also add some mineral oil to the mechanism to get rid of that. I've noticed the pens are now shipped with mineral oil in the mechanism which is great to see. The click itself has a satisfying tactile feel. The clicker isn't floppy after extending the ink, which is a small but nice feature thanks to the additional top clicker spring.If you care about the balance, or are into pen spinning, this pen is wonderfully symmetrical and has just the right thickness. The pen is a bit short for dedicated spinning pens; however, I find the length and diameter perfect to fit in a pocket and for writing use.The tactile feel of the grip area is nice. I've had overly textured pens in the past, knurled, or custom machined grips -- they are interesting novelties, but I find too much texture becomes an aggravation and annoyance after a while. A straight shaft with basic grooves is best. The bead blasted surface feels nice.The clip is strong, and rarely deforms. In the rare situations where I've damaged the clip, it's easily disassembled with a T5 screwdriver, bent, then reassembled. I've never lost one of these two screws after reassembly. The clip opening works well for sliding this over fabric and into a shirt or pocket. Not too stiff, not too weak.As the outer surface of the pen gets wear and tear, a brass patina will start to come out at the edges. I personally think this looks good. If you have access to a laser etcher, you can get a striking contrast in color that looks really good.The only issue I've had with the pen is the clicker cap has become unscrewed and lost on a few of the pens I've owned. Thankfully I found it in at least one case.Lastly, I've had a great experience with their customer service. It's always great to work with a company that is responsive and takes care of their customers.As some background, I've carried a Pilot G2 ink for 30 years. My personal favorite is the 0.5mm black ink. This all started while working retail in my teens -- your pen is one of your most prized and mandatory possessions in those environments. After that, a long career as an engineer means you need a pen to annotate CAD drawings or to jot down ideas. Because the Pilot G2 is plastic, I have a graveyard of pen husks with broken clips.For the last decade, I've invested stupid amounts of money into metal pens that take Pilot G2 refills. Many of these were bespoke, limited runs, or luxury pens. Unfortunately, unless that pen sits in one spot on your desk forever (and you don't have kids), you're going to lose every pen you buy. This is especially true if you're carrying it around every day. I no longer see the value in buying a pen for more than $30 if I'll lose it every 6 months.

Love the color and the weight. My first issue with this pen was how unnatural it felt to grip and write with. I took to the reviews and found one consumer had a great idea and used rubber O rings to place on the ridges of the pen. Having such things on hand I tried it, and now I love this pen. So much easier to hold and write with. I used a slightly smaller O ring on it than that consumer, but the effect was the same. I recommend adding these. The right size will stay in place, look nice, and improve the ease of writing with it.

This is a review of the Everyman Gunmetal Grafton pen. I purchased based on other reviews.I'd purchased one of these pens and it had a small defect with the clicker. Vendor support was great and they shipped a replacement promptly.TLDR: This is my new favorite pen. The pen itself looks elegant and though this entirely subjective, I do feel that I write better with a better pen. I don't mean only that my penmanship is better, but that my mindset is different.Out of the box, it comes with the pen (including refill) and an extra spring. Construction appears to be good quality. The coatings seem durable. Clicker is reassuringly clicky, though there's a slight scratchiness to the sound. The clip is robust.The pen is a perfect weight for my writing style and quite comfortable. The barrel diameter is also just right for my hand.The refill lays down a good, solid line without any gaps. On notebook paper there was no visible bleed and ink dries pretty quickly. The .7mm is on the high end of my preferred range but I understand that this pen takes Pilot G2 refills. Once the included refill runs out, I will likely go with the G2 refills for the .4mm or .5mm tip.

This pen claims to take Jetstream Refills, but this is not true without modification.I bought this pen solely for its ability to take Uni-Ball Jetstream refills, and I'm frustrated there isn't a better option out there at this price range. The pro's and con's match up very well with other Amazon reviews, with only a few things to add:CONS:-Pen's click mechanism rattles when tip is retracted (but not when extended)-Expected Problems: I fully expect to have issues with the plastic parts in the click mechanism at some point in the pen's lifetime-Needs modification to take Jetstream refills* (see note below)-There is "tip wiggle"; unavoidable in a design that takes multiple types of refills (unless you're a BigiDesign Ti Pen)-Metal scratching sound when using the clicker; clicker button feels wobbly and fragile (see: Expected Problems)PROS:-Looks good, feels sturdy, I'm not ashamed to hand it to someone-Takes Jetstream refills* (see note below)-I don't expect to have to replace the whole pen-Comes with extra pieces to assist in taking multiple types of refills-Customer Service has a good reputation, which is good since I expect to have to use them at least once to address the expected problems listed aboveNOTE about using Jetstream Refills: Using SXR-38 refills (or SXR-5, -7, -10), the tip STILL EXTENDS OUT OF THE NOSE WITH THE PEN RETRACTED. With the pen retracted, I can still draw with the pen perfectly vertical, which means it can still color the inside of my pocket. I had to cut off a small portion of the back of the refill to shorten it enough to solve this problem.SO MUCH FOR TAKING JETSTREAM REFILLS; FALSE ADVERTISING. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ALTER REFILLS FOR THEM TO WORK I THIS PEN AS THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THEY DO.

I bought this pen for my business use and it turns out to be such a fantastic pen to own and feels nice on the grip and smooth in writing. Well worth the price.

I purchased this pen for using while working, something sturdy and capable of writing on anything. The barrel is perfect size ot feels like I could run it over with a tank, and it's nice and slim so it doesn't catch on my pouches. My problem I had with it is the clicking mechanism, I think it might be a product defect as it never engages properly...A quick email to the company and the team was more than happy to satisfy my concerns and mailed out a new pen- the only problem is someone stole my package. Great looking product, feels tough, and will probably end up trying to repurchase a working one.

The pen is beautiful to look at, writes well. It is a bit heavy to hold and so takes a bit of time to get used to. But no complaints whatsoever.

This pen feels, writes and looks really nice. That's about all I can say. Longterm quality is questionable. The first time I dropped it, within the first day of using it, it broke. I was actually quite shocked. The plastic clicker piece snapped between the button and pen body. Everyman agreed to replace it, but only once and made that very clear. Leaving me to question the quality of thier pens overall.

Ink ran out quick and the clicky bit broke.
