Pros & Cons
Pros
Beautiful pen with sleek styling. When looking for the perfect writing instrument size of the pen, the feel in your hand, and the way ink strikes the paper are imperative.
The cap fits snugly on the barrel and is easy to remove. The pen comes with one ink cartridge and it has two covers on it. The only thing that was confusing is that the title seems to imply that there is an extra ink refill included.
Parker is a premier brand and has been for decades. The price is great and comparing to the other big names. It is quite a bit smaller than i imagined it would be, but it is still very nice nonetheless.
The fountain pen is heavier and more solidly built than the rollerball. The barrel is thicker than your average pen, so it feels a lot nicer in your hand.
Cons
Construction is no more solid than a $5 zebra pen. Ink flow is scratchy and it skips. The quality of the refill is the worst seen.
