Faber Castell 148690 Oil-based Emotion Pure Black Ballpoint Pen

While I was attracted to some of the other E-motion series ballpoints, I chose the Pure Black and I'm glad I did. I see people arguing about which is heavier, the all-metal Pure Black or the resin barrels ones. I haven't held any of the resin barrel ones, but I sincerely doubt a resin barrel is going to be heavier than an all metal one. In any case, I find the weight of the Pure Black to be balanced perfectly. The pen itself is not heavy, but it is substantial, and as I mentioned, perfectly balanced. It's also very handsome with a guilloche pattern inscribed on the barrel. It writes beautifully - as it should considering the price point. I'm glad I bought it. Note: I see some reviewers on Amazon for other Faber-Castell E-motion series pens complaining about ballpoint tips attached with plastic or writing horribly. Frankly, I doubt whether any of those were really authentic Faber-Castell pens. ALL Faber-Castell E-motion pens have metal ends and tips and come with a standard Faber-Castell refill. I certainly don't think they were sold by Amazon, rather by third-party sellers on Amazon. Read third-party seller reviews before ordering - it's only common sense. If there is anything about the pen that doesn't seem right, return it immediately for refund.

Great balance on this pen. Texture is perfect. Love this pen (Faber-Castell refills are pretty amazing too)

Smooth writing flow. The body has a good feeling in the hand even if a bit diminutive. Good for travel because it fits easily in tight spaces.

Great style and very sturdy. I use it all the time.

Love the Pen.

This is my first Faber Castell, it fits perfectly for my hand size and writes smoothly. I do prefer a fine tip and this came with bold, I bought the medium ink refill and it’s just about perfect. Great pen if you’re looking for fine writing at a better cost than most.

Attractive, heavy, feels good in the hand. Beware, though, that if dropped, is very prone to breaking. The mechanism is, apparently, not strong enough to handle the weight of the pen when dropped. I used the much lighter wooden version of this pen, with the same mechanism, for over a decade with no problem. I'm now on my third metal pen in under a year. Lesson learned.

This pen is my first Faber-Castell Pen and it will be the first of many. I work in law enforcement and it's my go to pen. I love how heavy it is so I notice when it's not in my pocket. I don't recommend it to anyone who has big hands because it's rather small.

Has a quality feel about it. Nicely weighted. I like the colour - hopefully it stays that way. Uses a Parker type refill so the writing is good too. I like it so much that I have ordered the matching fountain pen.

A piece of meticulously constructed writing instrument! Great turnaround in packing and shipping by seller. I received the pen in less than 48hours upon order submission.

Estamos de acuerdo que el precio de este bolígrafo es exagerado, pero en la línea de todo lo que consumimos en esta sociedad. El acabado es magnífico, aportando sensación de robustez. El metal lo convierte en algo pesado, pero a mí, lejos de resultarme un hándicap, me gusta mucho.El tacto es suave y frío por el metal. El mecanismo de apertura funciona correctamente, como no podía ser de otra manera viniendo de una marca tan excepcional, y la escritura, en trazo grueso, resulta exquisita. Es un artículo que un amante de la escritura manual, lejos de los convencionalismos de un teclado de ordenador, debería poseer por calidad y belleza.

Great and great grip, easy to put in the pocket
