Cross - AT0555S 2-Edge Gel Ink Roller Ball Pen-Matte Black

I love these pens, nice to hold, write nicely and look great.My old one has been battered over the years so was time for a new one.I love watching people pick it up and try to use it. How lone before they realise they have to pull the pen to make it work??

Absolutely love it! Nice weight, lovely to write with. It looks good too.

Let me state right now. I love pens! I love quality craftsmanship and I spend a lot of my day writing with a pen, in the old fashion way. I grew up with my dad being a calligrapher and so soon appreciated quality mechanisms and a smooth nib. I own many great brands from Mont Blanc to Cross, but have to say, this is a lovely pen to use. The smooth shape and design makes it easy to securely fit in a pocket. Just slide it open for the nib to reveal itself. Then the quality of Cross's refills allow you to write with the roller-ball mechanism so smoothly. The ink is dark and remains sharp even after months on a page. The thickness of the pen is just right with a gradual taper that sits comfortably between thumb and forefinger without any strain, however long you are writing for. I have been so impressed with this pen, particularly at this price point, that I have bought several for friends presents.

Free flowing writer.

A little on the chubby side for my small fingers but it is a beautiful writer. Very pleased with my purchase.

Cross Edge Rollerball Gel Pen (Blue Barrel) made by Cross is one beautiful pen which I have to say it writes like a dream. The pen is as smooth and from the first letter, I had written I immediately could understand why so many people love this brand of pen workmanship.The pen mechanism is unique to me personally as I have never seen a pen which opens the writing nib like this one. To operate I simply slide the two ends of the pen (in opposite directions), this manoeuvre actually lengthens the pen which for me makes it more comfortable to hold as it balances better.I love this pen mainly because of the excellent writing experience, as the pen nib simply glides along the page with no disturbances as my writing continues. It is a pleasure to own and write with this pen.Cross Edge Rollerball Gel Pen is a beautiful pen inside and out which makes it very easy for me to recommend. This would make a lovely present for yourself or for someone you know would see the quality radiating out of this great sample of pen workmanship.

This is the second one I have bought and it is so comfortable to write with. Nice quality and weight.

I love this pen, particularly because of the wonderful weighting that aids a beautiful smooth flow when writing notes. This is my every day go to writing instrument.That being said, I am now on my third pen and typically have to replace it once a year, which is not what I expect from a Cross product. I find the plastic around the barrel typically fatigues and cracks. This leads to the metal neck becoming loose over time until the pen is not usable.It's a shame given the price point, but this is such a wonderful pen, I always re-order.
