- Brass Grafton Mini Twist Refillable 0.7mm Gel Ink Pen | Sleek Anodized Aluminum Pocket Pen with Grooved Grip | Smooth Writing EDC Ink Pen for Office, Travel, Work & Gifting

I’ve had this pen for over a year now. I have the brass variety. I love how it looks, how it feels, the heft of it, and how it weathers over time. But the ink is terrible. It doesn’t last nearly as long as it should, and skips. Don’t bother with the Grafton refills. Get a Parker style refill (if you have the Mini-Twist) or a Pilot G2 refill (for the Full Click with the included adapter.

Excellent pen!

There is much to love about this pen. The brass is beautiful. The grip diameter is 0.420" which I think is perfect. The machined grooves in the grip make it easy to hold onto. It is VERY heavy at 1.8 oz, which makes it easy to write with. The clip is well made and durable. But there are some bad things too. The twist mechanism is stiff. There was substantial clearance between refill and body when the refill was extended, causing unacceptable amount of wobble. I felt it anytime I wrote. There was far more clearance than in other pens I own. I'd hoped it was just a problem with the Grafton brand refill, which is styled like a Parker G2. When I replaced it with an actual Parker, or Faber Castell refill, it was a disaster. Neither would fit into the twist mechanism. They must have been a few thousandths too big. That was a deal breaker for me. I returned the pen (thank you, Amazon, for your amazing return policy) and have a 2nd pen coming tomorrow. I deeply hope that the first pen was a quality control anomaly, and that the tip wobble and refill interference will be solved. If so, my rating will go from a 2 to a 5. Stand by for an update in the next day or so. But tonight, I'm deeply disappointed. --- update ---Amazon replaced the first pen and it is somewhat better. There is less clearance between pen tip and refill, and that helps quite a bit. The problem with the Parker refill sadly still remains. A standard Parker refill will not fit into the twist mechanism. I took one of my Parker refills and filed and sanded its non-tip end down about 0.005" and it works perfectly. I hope Everyman can fix this tolerance problem, because it is otherwise an excellent pen. Because the tip wobble on this pen is so much better, I've upgraded the review from 2 to 4 stars.

This pen is durable yet light. Compact enough to fit comfortably in my jeans pocket alongside a leatherman skeletool. My only complaint is that the grafton ink cartridge that comes with the pen doesn't always write even though there's ink left. I didn't buy the pen for the ink that came with it though, I'll most likely get fisher refills in the future. A good idea for a future addition to this pen would be an attachment or modifications to the pen to allow a shortened Pilot G2 refill. All in all, a quality pen. It's been in my pocket for the past couple of months and has suited me well.

Feels nice in the hand but is heavy. Probably not the best option to have in a uniform shirt. Writes mediocre, careful if you take it apart to change the cart. It can be finicky to fit everything back together. It chewed up the plastic on the top of cart during reassembly. The whole cart should be metal like some others are. Apart from those things it looks and feels good. If the quality of the writing and ease of reassembly are your main concerns you would be better off picking up an F-701.

This is an outstanding pen for a pen fan which I didn't know.I was until after I got this.Now.I'm browsing amazon looking for more pens like this

I have a full click version from 2022, that I have a love hate relationship with. Most parts are nice, but the grip ridges collect grime over time. (edit: and now the screw has entirely fallen off the clip piece after only 3 years. This is too expensive of a pen for parts to fall off) This twist version is...bad. To retract the pen back into the body, you twist it (duh) but that quickly becomes unscrewing the entire body of the pen. There is either so little resistance that I can't detect it, or I've really just been hitting the gym too hard. This one also has a piece in it that clicks when I shake the pen, which I apparently do pretty often according to desk mates. On a side note, they changed the ink refill since I last used this brand's actual refills... those are also bad. If I don't return this pen then I'll probably have to swap out the refill for a different brand. This is way scratchier and loses it's ink on the paper most times I write.

The pen feels amazing when I draw and write. Glides on paper doesn’t skip or anything they fee like the baron fig pens . The weight of it feels nice in the hand and I like that it’s small because I can fit it in my pants and not leave it anywhere where I can loose it

I bought this pen for my business use and it turns out to be such a fantastic pen to own and feels nice on the grip and smooth in writing. Well worth the price.

If you’re looking for a stylish pen that has some good weight in your hand this is it. The build quality is phenomenal, I love writing notes with this and when my wife steals it I track it down. I never thought there would be a “favourite” pen of the house, but here we are.

I love it but no 5 stars. Way too hard to find blue cartridge for it.

awesome pen great edc

J’aime le stylo, par contre je dois acheter de nouveau refile car celui dans le crayon ne fonctionne pas bien, immédiatement après la réception . C’est décevant vue le prix du crayon
