Parker Jotter Ballpoint Pen | Stainless Steel with Chrome Trim | Medium Point Blue Ink

Nice pen, writing lovely, flows well

Brilliant item

It is good quality and good value.

If someone is looking for a quite thin and light pen, they will be happy. It's not quite comfortable for me to write with this pen despite the fact that I have small hands. I have written a few pages with it to test it. Maybe it's just a matter of getting use to it. I still love the pen mainly because of its design. So I kept it. I love how it looks. This is the first time I am using this pen. I used to use cheap pens. Only recently I decided to get a refillable pen. I bought this one because of it's design and brand, and quite good reviews. This one wasn't the most expensive. It's a good pen I do like that it arrived in a recyclable package.

Great pen

Can’t go wrong with a Parker pen! Good quality pen and ink - at a reasonable price.

Always a decent product

I’ve been writing with this type of Parker pen since I was taught how to write.. many decades ago. I very much like the style, the weight and the grip. Most importantly the durability is generally very good. The metal top end offers very good protection against chewing and general wear. The only historic weakness is the clip, that when I was a schoolboy used to break after a few weeks – these days I’m better able to control my tendencies. I struggle a bit more with two aspects of the modern Parker pens of this type; first, the push button on top is now rounded and polished. For sentimental and aesthetic reasons I prefer the old variant with the sunken rim and Parker logo printed on the button. Yet this more recent variant is probably more hygienic. Secondly, the new painted metal bottom part looks nice but I think the former little chrome band above the tip just gave the pen a more distinguished look. Also metal (aluminium I suppose) has replaced the former plastic bottom part, this enhances durability and prevents the body from scratches in theory. But the spare modern one I have already has paint damage near the tip. Either way, rather than a colour I always have the harder to find plain stainless steel lower body variant that looks a bit more stylish. I’ve always sworn to the finest blue tip. Professionally the most important reason to have this pen is that is looks decent and modestly chic but everyone knows its not outrageously expensive, like a Montblanc pen (while the functionality is similar). This is very important to me as I am in trusted relationship with significant clients and advisors and I can’t afford to come across as sensitive to luxury nor as careless about appearance. Also an expensive pen would be a waste as I tend to lose my Parker pen every other year at meetings or conferences. I was quite pleased to find my favourite Parker pen variant at Amazon, at less than half the price than the various city high-street stationary shops. So I bought 2 of them to be prepared for my next inevitable loss. And of course I highly recommend these pens.
