Parker Jotter Stainless Steel Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point, Black Ink

Excellent

Great product 👌

A really good ballpoint pen - Parker certainly had the right idea when this was designed. What i can't understand is why it's called the "Parker Jotter" - this was a name given to a Parker Ballpoint where the lower barrel was made of plastic (it also used to break at the joint with monotonous regularity). The original name given to this ballpoint was the "Parker Flighter" Whichever way you choose to call it, it's certainly a good pen.

Sturdy in the hand, with a nice feel. Great value for money

High quality pen. Durable and writes with ease. Very good value for the money and no smudge when writing.

Good quality and looks very nice

I carry around a few ballpoint pens but I find myself grabbing this one the most for everyday note taking. The Jotter's style has a refined simplicity. The stainless steel feels great in the hand, if a bit slippery. On the grip section there is a nicely cast interior threading that is unique to the pen. I love the feedback in the click of this pen. It isn't very smooth but it has a powerful click that resonates in your palm. The steel has proven to be great. I dropped it directly on the point with the tip retracted and I couldn't find a single dent or scratch on the steel. Some qualities could be improved however. The stainless steel is thin and light but not necessarily to its favor. It feels a bit cheap. Not dollar store pen cheap but a sheet metal sort of cheap. If it were a little bit thicker and heavier I think the pen would be perfect. The ballpoint cartridge is not very snug in its place, giving the pen a sloppy rattle if you wiggle the pen. Between the barrel and the section is a noticeable seam that disrupts the feel. If it were smoothed out the pen would feel flawless. Even with its flaws, this is an essential pen to own. Its design has been around for decades; a testament to its longevity.
