Unibene Slim Metallic Retractable Ballpoint Pens - Matte Black, Nice Gift for Business Office Students Teachers Wedding Christmas, Medium Point(1 mm) 6 Pack-Black ink

I really like these. They are quite similar to the Cross Century pen although a bit slimmer. The ink wrote fine when I tested it, not faint as some reviewers commented so perhaps they have made improvements based on feedback. I decided when I ordered them that I would just replace the refill if the one that came with the pen was not any good. I love to use nice pens and this one measures up very very well in its price range. The finish is nice so that uou can get a good grip, not slide-y.

Are you a server? Bartender? These are good pens. They write well, they're inexpensive but nice, and they fit in the server books. I'm no psychologist, but you don't want the last thing going through a guest's mind when they're literally writing down how much money to give to be, "dang what a terrible pen." Will it increase your tip? I don't know. Will it keep your tip from decreasing? Yeah, why not.

I was looking for an alternative to the classic CROSS CENTURY when I came across this gem. What I like about the pen is its build and price point. The extend-retract mechanism is smooth and solid. It uses the same refill as a CROSS pen which is a good thing. The pen is slimmer that the CENTURY and can be a bit arkward in large hands. In writing tests the UNIBENE ballpoint produced uniform but fainter lines - compared to CROSS. It was also slightly rougher on paper - bit scratchy. If you like the pen buy either a CROSS refill or even better a Monterverde refill to improve performance - ballpoint writing performance is all about the refill and my choice is Monterverde. If you just want the least cost option the provided refill works ok.

Works good and I get compliments on how nice they are. I wish it was a push button rather than twist though.

the pens work fine, but they're best for a person with small hands.

Great pens ,,, only if they came in blue ink. Other than that,,, I love them

Nice

Bought because Cross refills are so hard to find!! I bought these for the ink inside! But was very impressed with the look & feel! tempted to give out as gifts, but will probably keep for myself! looks like my old cross excutive pen, at a fraction of the price! an Awesome find!
