ParkerJotter Originals Fountain Pen, Classic Finish, Medium Nib, Blue & Black Ink

It fits in my wallet without bulk. I am happy. I feel for me it is too slim for everyday use.

very nice pen. Stated comes with both Black and Blue ink. Only blue was included. For me that is fine, as I did not intend to use black!

I really like this pen and unfortunately, I have to purchase it through Amazon as I live in a rural community and the local office supply store doesn't carry this model of Parker pen. It is comfortable to hold and I like how it feels when I write with it.

What a nostalgic feeling to have one of this classic Parkers. As a kid, only my parents and my grandparents and other grown ups had these great quality pens. I’m happy to know they still make it the same classic design

I like the smooth writing of the Jotter but found it a bit small. The XL jotter is more my style. But this is an excellent pen!

I buy a new one whenever I see them go on sale for under 8bucks. These are great pens and at the right price you won't care when someone steals if it from you or when you lose it. It also makes a great gift.

You should know that this is my first fountain pen, so I've nothing with which to compare it. I've had a very rocky start with this pen; it was far from a plug and play experience. It took a lot of fiddling around trying to get the ink to flow. My daughter did most of the fiddling including running hot water through it. What finally got it flowing was when I aggressively squeezed the ink cartridge between my thumb and forefinger thus forcing the ink out of the cartridge. Even when it finally started flowing it initially had a lot of skips, or dry starts. The skips are mentioned in other reviews as well.It took persistence to get to the point of liking this pen. It's almost as if it needed a break-in period to get limbered up. Now that I've been using it more often the skips are fewer and far between, but I never have a skip-free experience. I chose this pen to see if I would like writing with a fountain pen, and have found that when it works I do enjoy the feel. It's smoother than a typical ball point although not as smooth as a gel pen. I chose a Parker because that's what my dad always had in his pocket, specifically a Parker 51 which was a beautiful instrument. Some day I'll treat myself and splurge on a teal blue 51 in memory of him.

It is well worth the price. So much better than the cheap pens I am used to
