ParkerJotter XL Monochrome Collection, Stainless Steel Medium Point Ballpoint Pen with Blue Ink, Ideal Gift, Silver

Great value, timeless style, and nicely subdued barrel color options. Have used and enjoyed the design of Jotters for decades, and this is another good one. The feel is smooth and pleasantly weighted, and the mechanism and sound are unmistakeably Jotter workmanship. Add this to your set of writing utensils for personal and professional use. Highly recommended.

The perfect pen for healthcare. As a type B nurse, I stick to the bare bones since I can never keep track of things. However, over 10 years of being a nurse, these pens are the only things I’ve ever been able to not lose. It has a tight enough clip that it won’t fall out of your scrub pocket when you bend over. It has a delicious click that doubles as a fidget toy when you need to focus. The weight is fantastic and impressive to those needing to borrow it for a moment (I never walk away when someone’s using it in case they think about pocketing it). I’m now on my fourth pen after 10 years. The first one I actually found in my grandfather’s office cleaning it out when he died, and I simply replaced the ink and used it for years until it got lost during a code blue, still sad about that. But it speaks to the longevity of these pens. I almost feel like I shouldn’t write this review so Parker doesn’t catch wind of how great and long lasting these affordable pens are, I think it’s worth more than what they charge.

Love it. Please design or incorporate a police edition. Rugged, tough and rough with a Matte finish.

This is my second Parker pen. While this carries the Jotter name the quality is not the same with the XL. Of particular annoyance is the plastic barrel insert compared to the metal insert of the original Jotter. I knew that when I bought it, at least. The clip isn't as sturdily designed and feels cheap with the slight amount of movement. Writing quality is similar but I do feel that the XL blue ink somehow isn't the same. I do love the larger size of the XL compared to the original, however. Its the perfect size for my larger hands. Parker needs to get it together, I dont understand why they would make this cheaper quality.

Parker pens are always good

Fine pen with a beautiful color, ideal for a gift, I recommend it 100%

I'm a huge Parker pen fan. I like my Jotter, it's comfortable to write with, but it is kind of tiny. I thought I'd try an XL, and they're "just right." Compared to my regular Jotter, I think they're also a little bit wider; not as much as an IM. You get the same "click" everyone seems to like, and the same performance. Solid black pens are popular. I had one from a questionable company and it lasted six months. I learned to stay with the trusted brands, and in my biased opinion Parker is one of the most reliable. They also have the best clip and their refills are the industry standard. I've tried felt tip, fountain pen, and gel, but for everyday writing and especially underlining in books, you can't beat a trusty ballpoint. And for the price, you can't beat the Jotter.

I wanted to love this pen, but it is FRAGILE. Attractive with a good size and a satisfying click, writes well for a ballpoint, and the cartridge is well constructed. However, the internal structure is made of what must be very cheap plastic because it snapped cleanly in half upon being dropped once from about three feet. NOT worth $30; beauty on the outside but way too fragile.
