This is a very nice capped roller ball pen. A lot of Vine reviews have already talked about the nice finish and feel, but without providing numbers or other info on the pen. In fact, there were almost nothing BUT Vine reviews, which made me a bit nervous about a purchase, but I bit the bullet and am very pleased so far. My only potential concern would be the long term durability of the frosted matte black finish, but that is in the future. This review will try to cover what doesn't seem to be mentioned elsewhere, the size, weight, and refills. The following info shows the size and weight, and comparison to a one of my name brand (P) Chrome metal fountain pens: The length of this pen is identical to the fountain pen. The capped pens are both 5 1/2" long, the caps are each slightly less than 2 1/2" long, and each pen without the cap attached is 4 3/4" long. The diameters were slightly different, with this pen being 0.55" diameter, and the fountain pen being 0.59" diameter. The fountain, with ink, weight is 1.15 ounces, while this pen with the supplied Schmidt cartridge weighs slightly more at 1.2 ounces. In actuality, aside from the chrome metal fountain pen being more slippery, the 2 pens felt very similar in my hand. The main difference was that the cap on this roller ball didn't 'post' as far down on the pen body as the fountain pen during use, making it slightly longer and slightly more top heavy than the fountain pen. The refills are a major point in favor for this pen. Not many people realize that the pilot G2 pens are roller balls. An internet search revealed that the pilot G2 is a great substitute in most roller ball pens of any price. That was true for this Black forest pen as well- A pilot G2 right out of a pen works perfectly. This is important, because the pilot G2s are available in 4 different ink widths (0.38, 0.5, 0.7, and 1 mm) and a dozen different colors, while the much higher priced European roller ball refills usually are only available in 2 width, and in black, blue, and occasionally red. In conclusion, this is a very nice pen, giving a fountain pen-like experience without the fixed width, fragile nib, and refill issues of a fountain pen. The durability of the finish would be my only concern, but so far there is nothing to indicate it will be a problem. For this price, you really can't go wrong, in my opinion.

Great quality

I have very high standards when it comes to pens. Most I do not enjoy. This one is a joy to use and it doesn't seem to matter how you hold it. It flows smoothly and you can write very finely if you want. It has none of that "scratchy" sound that some reviewers complain about with another pen sold on Amazon. The feel of this one in the hand is awesome. It feels like very high grade metal and has a bit of heft to it. The only complaint I can think of is that there is a little bit of bleed-through on the paper so if you like to write on both sides of standard legal pad type of paper you might want something else, but it would be great on thicker paper I'm sure.

Great quality pen. It’s heavy and it writes well!

Everything good so far, feel and weight like quality
