Sheaffer Ion Blue Gel Rollerball Pen

Works well. The cap seems to be on tightly so hopefully I won't lose the pen.

I love the convenience of this pen, as it fits perfectly in a pants pocket when I don’t have a shirt pocket. Would also work well in a purse or backpack.The comfort and smoothness of writing are ideal.

I love this pen and how it works by keeping the pen from engaging unless you extend the pen! But the ink cartridges are terrible! These cartridges will quit working at any time, even though there is ink in the cartridge -- even though the cartridge is virtually full! It may write again for a short time after letting the pen sit for quite a while, but will fail again after a very short time. These are the same cartridges used by some Cross pens, and I've always been frustrated at their unreliability and short life.

This one is so handy and easy to grip. I've had several of these ever since CROSS initially came out with them a decade or more ago. I assume they've sold the rights to Sheaffer, and they don't have the silicon grip -- but I still love them!!! I do wish they'd put the grip back and come out with more awesome metallic and unique colors like CROSS had, and with the little "eye" that showed the ink cartridge. They're a great product though! And inexpensive....

Can't beat te price of this hard to lose pen. Compared with the rediculously pricedSchaefer pen, this one is quite a bargain. :0)

Love the feel and design of the pen. Ready to throw it away - writes well for a few lines and then won't write at all. Purchased second pen - exactly the same results. I know I wrote less than 1 page with either of the pens. Waste of time to fool with.

I bought some refill ink for 25 cents before I bought the pen. After I researched the Cross pens, I was disappointed because they were discontinued. I refused to pay too much money for the pen. I read the reviews of this pen, and I was skeptical. Then, I saw a sale for this pen. Out of all the colors, I chose blue for my birthstone. The circumference is large and will take some getting use to, but it’s small and convenient. I hope I am able to keep this one for awhile. Quick delivery too.

Bought two. The ink dried up in both within two months with little use. Cross makes the expensive original. These are cheap knockoffs.
