Caran d'AcheBallpoint Pen, Metal Green (0849-210)

My husband is a pen collector and an EDC enthusiast - I borrowed his pen like this while on a work meeting on Teams and I really liked how it felt in my hand. I prefer blue ink and adore bright yellow so I was thrilled with this version offering both!

I disliked nothing about the pen and am adding it to my beautiful pens collection

I used to write sad lonely stories about how sad I was, how lonely I was, and how I was such a loser that I deserved to be so sad and lonely.But not anymore. And it's all because of this pen.This pen is so fresh and makes you so happy that I've changed my writing style. I now write joyous odes about cats with candy for eyes.These cats, which never existed, are all thanks to this pen.I imagine these cats singing in shimmering falsettos. I imagine them standing on the corners of the great mechanical cities handing out business cards to passers-by. Only, instead of contact information, these business cards contain complements like, "Goodness! You, my friend, are of such high quality that we'll get you married to a superlative spouse before season's end!"It all comes down to the smoothness of the tip, and the stone cold looks that tell the world, "You better believe this is a writer worth reading!"

This pen looks very cool, but not sure it's worth the price. It feels pretty light for a $25 ballpoint pen.

Came packaged with blue ink, yet was supposed to come with black. Guess I’ll have to buy new cartridges sooner than I thought- pen body itself feels ok!

This pen is a great combination of smooth writing and great feel in hand. I initially found the Caran D'ache pen in a stationary store while looking to replace a cheap broad tipped ball point pen that I loved. While most people look for fine tip writing pens, I love wide writing ones. They are hard to find. The Caran D'ache pen wrote wonderfully smooth and broadly. I used it for years and one day it was gone. I bought several on Amazon so I would have one wherever I went. They are expensive as everyday ballpoint pens go, and will not get the attention of a Cross, Mt Blanc or Waterman. However, they are solid metal, durable pens with a great rolling feel and a uniquely subtle click mechanism. They are a tool of expression for those who use their hand to reveal themselves.

From the color to the cartridge of the ink. Pure Class. That little mountainous country for sure designs the greatest affordable pens. Love them.

It’s heavy but feels like plastic. It’s not a well balanced pen. It’s shorter than an average pen which can be an advantage when carrying small a notebook with you, but all the weight is at the top of the pen and falls back into the hand. I find myself gripping it too tightly trying to “hold” it up off my hand. Also, depressing the top to extend the nib offers no click at all. This feels odd. A solid click usually lets us know the nib is locked into place and ready to write with. The nib itself doesn’t extend as far out as the usual pen does. Everything about this pen is different and odd. I suppose if you want something out of the ordinary, this is it. I was hoping to be thrilled with this one but I guess I’ll reach for a higher priced option in a different brand if I can’t come to be comfortable with this one.
