Its weighted metal barrel with chrome accents offers a premium feel while ergonomic grooves reduce writing fatigue. Refillable and designed for professionals, this pen delivers bold, consistent black ink lines with virtually no smudging or skipping, making it a top choice for everyday executive use. ## Description Advanced breakthrough ink formula – TechniFlo™ is a super-low viscosity ink that ensures rich ink flow for smooth, easy writing. 2in1 ink formula combines the smoothness of a gel with the control of a ballpoint. Metal barrel and chrome accents make a professional statement. Weighted, well balanced barrel helps reduce pressure and fatigue when writing. Molded grooves on the barrel for comfortable writing. 1.0mm metal tip writes clean medium lines with no skipping or smudging. Refillable with BXTM10 ink refills Review: Pentel's GlideWrite Executive is a top performer and excellent value - Bottom line: This is a superb, state-of-the-art ballpoint. For details on the GlideWrite Executive, read on. The star of the show is Pentel’s TechniFLO low-viscosity ink, a combination of gel and traditional ballpoint inks. Pentel claims it has 25% less friction than competitive ballpoints (not specified). In my opinion, it as smooth or smoother and more consistent than Schmidt’s easyFLOW 9000 and Pilot’s Acroball, and equivalent or slightly better than Uni’s Jetstream. The 1.0 mm ball (the only point size available at this time) lays down a smooth, consistent, and clean densely pigmented line with no excess ink on a wide range of papers. Drying times are almost instantaneous, so this pen is suitable for left-handed writers. The Executive edition (model BX970) features a weighted metal body with a subtle dimpled pattern in the grip area. Pentel says the body is metal (it is ferromagnetic) and has “chrome accents,” which in advertising parlance suggests it is not metal, but a chrome-finished plastic. The knock appears to be a chrome-finished plastic, but I don’t know if the nose is metal (brass), metal with a chrome-finished plastic shell, or all-plastic with a chrome finish. Regardless, there’s virtually no difference in appearance in the metal clip and the other chrome hardware. There is minor rattle when shaken vigorously, but there are no rattles or clicks when you write, and there is essentially no tip wiggle. The GlideWrite Executive is also available with a matte black body with the same shiny clip and accents. Pentel has a winner in its GlideWrite Executive. It’s writing performance is outstanding; perhaps, the best combination of smoothness, line consistency, ink density, and price of any ballpoint pen I’ve written with. In my opinion, the pen body design is not inspired, but it is balanced and solid, and does not detract from the sheer writing performance of Pentel’s GlideWrite Executive. Review: Bold ink, smooth writing - I love this pen. I use this pen at work every day on surfaces and in conditions that most pens don't stand a chance. This pen is made out of metal so it has a good grip but is not too heavy. The ink is very smooth flowing and it is bold. Flows like a gel but doesn't smear on your paper. The price was way cheaper than I expected for a pen this good and it is refillable. ## Features - Advanced breakthrough ink formula – TechniFlo is a super-low viscosity ink that ensures rich ink flow for smooth, easy writing - 2in1 ink formula combines the smoothness of a gel with the control of a ballpoint - Metal barrel and chrome accents make a professional statement - Weighted, well balanced barrel helps reduce pressure and fatigue when writing - Molded grooves on the barrel for comfortable writing - 1.0mm metal tip writes clean medium lines with no skipping or smudging - Refillable with BXTM10 ink refills ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08Q33HMMY | | Additional Features | Refillable | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #79,097 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #2,318 in Ballpoint Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Pentel | | Brand Name | Pentel | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 459 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Grip Type | Contoured | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | H | | Included Components | Ink Refills | | Ink Base | Hybrid | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Dimensions | 7.75 x 3.63 x 0.63 inches | | Item Type Name | ballpoint-pens | | Item Weight | 27.22 g | | Line Size | 1.0-1.9mm | | Manufacturer | Pentel | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | GlideWrite Executive | | Model Number | BX970ZBP | | Recommended Uses For Product | Office | | Style | Refillable | | Theme | Professional | | UPC | 072512281871 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Ballpoint Pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Pentel - **Color:** Silver - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Ballpoint Pen ## Images ![Pentel Glidewrite Executive Ballpoint Pen, (1.0mm) Medium, Silver Metal Barrel, Black Ink, Pack of 1 (BX970ZBP) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fjsXdP2nL.jpg) ![Pentel Glidewrite Executive Ballpoint Pen, (1.0mm) Medium, Silver Metal Barrel, Black Ink, Pack of 1 (BX970ZBP) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BfJ7QRlrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where to buy refills???** A: As of late March 2020, the refills have not appeared on the Pentel site; I emailed their customer service contact thru the website and after 2 tries, I got a reply saying “it’s kind of new so you just have to keep looking.” NOT an answer you want to hear from a major pen manufacturer- which needs to update their website — look at their competitors’ sites and compare. BUT this is a smooth, nice writing pen— much nicer than anything else in the price range. Let’s hope they get it together. BTW note that the refills for the Executive uses a smaller thinner refill vs the Signature— and in my using, with a fair amount of note taking daily, it ran out in 4 days... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pentel's GlideWrite Executive is a top performer and excellent value *by J***S on January 10, 2021* Bottom line: This is a superb, state-of-the-art ballpoint.
