Pentel BK440C WOW! Retractable Ballpoint Pen, 1mm, Blue Barrel/Ink (Pack of 12)

Pros: Triangular rubber grip. I like this much better than round ones, though that is a personal perference. They write smoothly and nicely. I have cheaper pens that are a bit scratchy, but not these. Nice and smooth. The colors are nice, pretty much what you would expect, and fairly good match to body color. The release is on the side, and while easy to press, not likely to be accidently pressed. I hate pens the release when you press the side because they keep closing while I use them. Not these. This is actually a very good design. Lastly, they have a good solid feel to them. Cons: None, really. Be aware that these are GEL pens, and because of that the 1.0 tips will produce a line that looks more like a 0.7. I obesrved this, and Pentel also says this. I have no problem with this, these pens are great. Conclusion: Very nice pens, I would buy them again.

Un tratto bello fluido, un po' grosso essendo 0.7, bello scorrevole in ogni situazione. Dura relativamente tanto anche quando si scrive in verticale. Tratto che non sbava, si asciuga velocemente ed ha un colore nero molto carico intenso e bello. Ha una chiusura a scatto che nonostante l'infinito uso anche nei momenti di attesa non si è mai rotto. Oramai è la mia penna da 4 anni, da quando l'ho scoperta non la mollo più. Trovata su amazon ad un prezzo concorrenziale, perchè in cartoleria costa 2 euro il singolo pezzo. Consigliatissima.

This is my favorite brand of pens. It is high quality, value for money, easy to write with, not smear resistant but hey what pen truly is? Not sure what to say about durability other than they do last quite a while. I use a lot of red so needed a bulk pack instead of buying one at a time.

Great product works as described in ad and easy to use. Well built design and good quality. The price was a good value and fast shipped.

Good pens for the price point. I use these in my classroom, and for the price, I don't have to worry if they show up missing. The ink is pretty, and I appreciate that they are offered in various colors.
