Paper MateFlexGrip Ultra Recycled Retractable Ballpoint Pen, 1 mm Medium, Blue, 12/pk (9510131)

Been using these comfort flexgrip style Paper Mate's for over 35 years. These are great reliable and comfortable pens. For those who still use pens on a daily basis, these are highly recommended.

I've always liked these particular pens. They fit comfortably in my hands and write well. One stopped working and I opened it and saw there was still ink but it was a very light blue. Not thinking I threw it away. I just came upon another one with the same thing happening 2 nights ago. I checked out the rest of the box. All the ink is dark blue but the pens that stopped working light blue. Just thought you should know.

These pens are incredible. They won’t let you down. Always writing and no stoppage between writing.

Bought these pens for the looks as well as the comfort. I forgot how small they feel in my hands but they do the job and are retractable and in black. The pens fit into my hand comfortably and have had no hand pains while using it. As a college student I go through a lot of pens, and hours upon hours of note taking. So a good quality pen is something that is required and this meets that criteria. Would recommend this pen to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive pen that holds true to the quality you would come to expect from Paper Mate.

Only used one pen so far but all seems good

Fan of Paper Mate! Happy with the purchase.

I think I stole (sorry, borrowed) one of these from work and just couldn't use anything else. I was a tom-boy as a kid and have lost a little feeling in my right thumb and forefinger. I've found some pens hard to write with. I can't feel them when they're in my hand. It makes writing difficult sometimes and I find myself wishing I could write with my left hand. But this pen is easy to hold and I can write very well with it. After trying to find replacement ink for the one that I had, I finally gave up and came to Amazon and bought an entire box of the pens. This is truly a great pen...especially if you have any problems holding on to a pen or pencil. I keep one in my purse, one on my desk and one by each phone in the house. They also come in blue ink but I prefer black.

These pens have been on the market for two+ decades, and while they are comfortable in hand, the ink flow does not compare favorably to more recent ballpoint pen offerings. If you value smooth flowing ink in a ballpoint, look elsewhere.
