CROSSMens Gentlemans At008214 Century Satin Chrome Ballpoint Slimline Gift Pen

This is a nice sleek and stylish pen. I'm not a fan of big chunky pens so this was a good alternative to them.It writes well and fits snuggly in the hand. Not cheap though!

Bought my eldest daughter the gold cross pen now bought my youngest a silver cross i think the presentation box and quality and price is amazing and a lovely keep sake forever,very happy.

It really is, especially for the price. It's beautiful, sleek, and sits well in the hand. The grip texture works almost flawlessly (perspiring hands tend to slip on anything, though). The nib comes out smoothly, and writes very well for a ballpoint - no smudging, for instance.I've had one of these for almost several years now, and it still works, despite being left largely untouched next to a notebook full of old stories and ideas. It worked fine throughout my GCSEs and A Levels, and the ink has never frozen/hardened up, regardless of the aforementioned neglect.The only downside is that those with larger hands might have some trouble gripping it, and even those who don't may experience higher levels of cramp than normal. Other than that, there's really nothing wrong with this, at least from my experience.

Brilliant pen, great quality item. Some very slight superficial marks, and the grippy design collects debris. However the grippy design makes it great in the hand. Didn't use the cross insert as it was black, but I'm sure it is the same quality as the lovely smooth blue cross refills which I also ordered. Good price point for this pen which is kept in the file for meetings etc, not a heartbreaker to lose, but a quality item to use. Love the slim design of this series of cross pens, have a few, and easy to recommend.

I've always had a thing for pens - ever since I got a set of Parker pens for my 11th birthday. This Cross is just beautiful! It writes smoothly and evenly with no scratching etc. on the paper. The machining on the barrel is clean & sharply done - and works superbly as a "grip" area on what is otherwise a slim, sleek piece of carefully crafted metal ............ yes, I'm an engineer, I work for an aerospace/defence CNC machining company and I'm the only person I know who would get "that" worked up about a pen!! I already own a "wide barrel" Cross ballpoint and this one makes a perfect partner.In my opinion, this pen is worth every single penny!

Why did you choose this product over others?:Always wanted a replacement for the one I lost which was given to my late wife

Well designed and attractive writing instrument.

Mine eventually developed an issue after a couple years. Contacted Cross, they never made one in this design, it's a fake. A good fake, but still fake.
