Parker Jotter Mechanical Pencil, Stainless Steel with Chrome Trim, 0.5mm, HB #2 - Smooth Writing, Signature Design, Stationary, Desk Essentials

This pen has a sleek stainless steel barrel that looks very professional. I expected it to feel heavier, but it’s surprisingly light and fits comfortably in the hand. At about 4 inches, it’s slightly shorter than a standard disposable pen, but that actually makes it easy to carry around. The button mechanism has a very good spring and gives a satisfying click every time. The gel-based blue ink writes smoothly without blotting, which makes note-taking a breeze. Since I prefer black ink, I picked up a pack of black refills, and they work perfectly. I take a lot of notes at work, and this pen has quickly become my favorite meeting pen. Stylish, reliable, and comfortable — highly recommend!

I’ve used Parker pens for as long as I can remember, so when my son began learning to write, it felt natural to start him with something familiar and well‑made. This mechanical pencil has that classic Parker weight and balance — understated, but unmistakably solid. The cap lifts off to reveal a small eraser, which is more practical than elegant, but still appreciated. It also comes with two 0.5mm graphite leads, which is perfect for a child who’s practicing letters with enthusiasm. It writes smoothly, feels dependable, and fits right in with the rest of our Parker collection. Five stars — we’ve always been a Parker family, and now my son gets to join that tradition.

I searched high and low for a fine ballpoint pen and this was the winner after trying several different ballpoints. It's easy to write with, high quality pen with a sharp edge and makes for a great gift.

This pen is pretty good. It looks like ink from a pencil which is what i wanted and it feels nice to hold. It has a nice sleek design and fits in my hand nicely. It is about 5" long. The silver has a nice premium look to it. My only complain is that when I shake it back and forth I can hear a little rattle in there like a little spring is shaking. Other than that, it's good.

This is my favorite pen. Looks sharp. Should last forever. Takes Parker refills. The click mechanism is very satisfyingly click-y; not in a well oiled machine kind of way, but more of a lose cachunk kind of way. Almost like a cash register. Not good if you're spending time with anyone who has misophonia. Nearly the equivalent of a blue switch in the mechanical keyboard world.

This is a nice pen. I replaced the ink cartridge that came in the pen with an aftermarket one. The Parker one seemed to drag a little and was not as smooth as the Schmit that I have been using in other pens. The pen is well made and is a really nice pen for the price.

Excellent construction and quality. Love the 0.5mm writing tip and the lead is sturdy. The auto feed of lead in this mechanical pencil is smooth and seems durable.

The pen was actually fine. Worked, wrote well, plenty of compliments. It was just so small. Nothing on the pen.
