Cross ATX Refillable Ballpoint Pen Presented in a Luxury Gift Box - Medium Point, Black Ink, Basalt Black

Writes smooth, very good balance

Quality workmanship, heavy, wide, exactly what I was looking for.

Great pen! I have used Cross Bailey Medalist pens for years and loved them. The only problem were they were slippery. I am a financial advisor working with older clients and they were too hard to write with. My new ATX is not only beautiful, but easy to write with. Many, many compliments. My biggest problem is getting it back from my clients. Very satisfied!

I used ordering this item as a catalyst to begin writing again. My first non-bic pen was a Cross and I thought the nostalgia would jump start the process.

Not particularly expensive and not a particularly 'fine' pen (although it's sturdy and certainly functional). For me it's perfect for me since I wasnt looking for an expensive pen. Quite the opposite. I was looking for a pen for a special purpose on which I didnt need to spend too much money. About the 'specific purpose": I simply need a slightly larger pen with the weight due to nerve damage. For that reason I have had one of these in my pocket since 2018. Incidentally, I cant find much of a difference between the ATX and Calais versions except in style where the clip attaches to the barrel or plunge. Depending on where you look, the price could be nearly identical with the same refill for both, but the Calais averages about $4 US cheaper. One issue... the ink. I dont know why, but the ink refills vary in quality and longevity. The last one I ordered lasted about two weeks. Another I've had since 2018 still works. It's just not consistent. However, I'd be petty to rate the Cross ATX pen as 3/5 for that fact. I'll keep using the Cross ATX, since it has a special purpose for me. But I cant actually recommend this to anyone else who doesnt need a larger weighted pen. JHA

A beautiful balance & feel to this pen. I prefer a fatter pen 🖊 to write ✍️ with since it fits better in my large hands. My favorite pen for work!

As a draftsmen, this pen has easily become one of my best friends. you'll be asking yourself why, haven't I purchased a number of cross pens, before now?!!! Not only does it perform as advertised, but it just looks good and handles, just as well. You'll notice that your good penmanship has gotten much better, since your brilliant purchase order of this cross pen. I make a gift of a number of cross pens/writing instruments for my near and dear friends, over the years.

If you want a "nice pen" without paying Mont Blanc money, this is an excellent choice. Well-balanced, easy to write with, have enough to feel "substantial" without being unwieldy. Over the past three years, I have ordered four of these -- primarily because I keep losing them. My fault, not the fault of the pen. Whenever I lose one, I ordered another of the exact same model.
