Parker Jotter Originals Ballpoint Pen, Classic Red Finish, Medium Point, Blue Ink, 1 Count - Smooth Writing, Sleek, Polished, Professional, Desk Essentials

While not a serious collector, I own and enjoy a variety of fine writing instruments. I often shop websites as well as brick-and-mortar stores for a new pen or mechanical pencil to try out. I've owned Parker Jotter pens before. I remember a metal-barrelled one I did not like because the grip was tiresome. I also had one of these plastic-barrelled ones but don't remember using it or where it's gone off to. When shopping, I often came across the Jotter pens. Because of previous experience and the notion that a $10 pen would be neither disposable nor special, I just overlooked them. Recently, during another browsing session, I again encountered some Jotter pens and they came into better focus: legendary status, simple beauty, good reviews, compatible with a world of refill options, and a price that would allow me to carry the pen without the anxiety of losing it. Upon receiving the pen, I was delighted by the writing experience. The grip on the plastic barrel is quite comfortable and suitable for extended use. The Quink cartridge makes for smooth contact with the paper. I may occasionally switch out to a gel refill for darker print. I like the heavy click mechanism and the fact that the plunge button is sprung even after the pen tip is extended. The metal ring on the tip of the barrel is a good idea; it will prevent the hole from wearing or stretching which would make it sloppy around the cartridge tip. The 5" length of the pen is also welcome. It conveys a "cuteness" and the clip will fully engage in any shirt pocket. Bottom line: my red Parker Jotter is now one of my favorite carry pens.

I bought 3 of these, for 2 sons and husband at Christmas. They've been using them for months now. 2 sons hadn't really had a nice pen before and they love theirs. My husband really likes a good pen and I thought this might be a little small for him, but he is very happy with his also. Has a good weight.

My favorite pen as it's so smooth writing when using this! This is one pen I do not let anyone borrow even for "a second" get your own Parker pen!

Always a winner. Hope it isn't discontinued

The pen itself is comfortable and well-designed, but the ink quality is disappointing. It dries out if unused for an hour, leaving streaks on the paper. The size is decent, and the grip is fine at room temperature, though it gets slippery if your hands are cold. The pen's mechanics and overall functionality are acceptable : good value for the price.

This is a very good writing pen for the price and has held high standard of quality for decades.

It glides and is smooth as you write. Its short and fits in my little pencil bag. Quite portable for on the go use. I love it. I will be buying another soon which is longer that I use at home😃

10/10

It's the perfect size. Fits neatly in the front pocket. Neat professional style. Not costly. Ready to write on the push of a button, single handed use. Refills are available. No hassle of filling or leaking ink. Not advisable for continuouse writing. It is only a jotter. On the go.

Non ho mai posseduto una penna Parker, acquistata per un regalo ma ho avuto modo di provarla Già il click a scatto ha un suono premium; estremamente scorrevole ed è davvero piacevole scriverci

Schönes Teil. Liegt geschmeidig in der Hand und schreibt gut. Dazu austauschbare, gut verfügbare Ersatz-Minen erhältlich. Alles gut.

Fonctionne très bien.

¡Me encantan estos bolígrafos! Son elegantes y cómodos. Los tengo en distintos colores y con tinta de varios colores y grosores de punta (mi favorita es la F en negro, la más dificil de encontrar). Ojo no confundir con el modelo Jotter XL, que es un poco más grande y pesado (más elegante, pero menos práctico para el día a día).
