Penna robusta e dal buon tratto

Liked the body but not the ink

Lovely sturdy metal pen. The ink colour is more on the lighter black - grey side, giving a pencil-like ink appearance

You're in high school. Your pencil case is full of the mismatched assortment of pens without caps and mechanical pencils with half a stick of lead each that you've found on those familiar tiled floors. In fact, you can't even remember the last time you actually bought a pack or pens or pencils (besides of course, a week before the first day of school to avoid detention for not having the obligatory 3 red pens, a hilighter, and whatever else was on the syllabus). On your way to third period, daydreaming about that warm sunny schoolyard on the other side of those wide windows, walking on autopilot, you kick something and hear that familiar rolling sound. You look down, snapped out of your daydream state, praying that you happened to kick the pen just right, and not into the opposite lane of hurried kids. Your eye lands on the silver pen, and you quickly squat down to pick up your prize. Upon picking it up, you stuff it into your pocket, and make your way to third period. When you reach the classroom, you take out the newest addition to your collection of adopted writing utensils, and quickly pen your name across the top right of the handout placed on your desk. You feel a twinge of disappointment as the pen leaves nothing but a slight indent on the paper. Your hand moves to the bottom left of the handout, and you scribble a couple circles to see if the pen has any life left whatsoever. Success! A trail of black ink follows the point of your pen, and you pen your name again in the top right, only this time the results of your penmanship stare back at you in jet black. You complete the handout in around 20 minutes, then turn your head to the homework board, and begin to write down the assigned chapters of The Scarlett Letter that you'll read on the bus this afternoon. As you use the instrument again, you notice how it feels in your hand. It's not heavy, but it's not light as a feather either; it's a kind of heft that makes the pen feel like a quality piece of metal. You observe that this pen's clip looks and feels surprisingly strong, and as you pack up your things in preparation for that long awaited bell, you introduce the pen to it's new family of writing utensils in your pencil case. For the rest of the day, you notice that every time you grab a pen, you feel around for the silver pen each time without even thinking. You like that pen; it's strong yet springy clip, it's smooth rolling action, it's easy hold grip, even the way it clicks open and closed is just different from any other pen you can recall using. It feels like a real writing tool, not some cheap black plastic value pack pen. Days go by, and weeks go by. You've forgotten what your old pens felt like, you've grown fully accustomed to the smooth action of your acquisition. One day while writing a couple paragraphs on the ending of The Scarlett Letter, your pen starts to grow a bit faint. Your hand moves once again to the bottom left of your packet, and you scribble a couple circles into the page. Nothing. Another dead pen doesn't mean much, and you were finished with your response anyway, so you tuck the pen back into your pocket and head to your next class. You walk right past the garbage can without thinking, and after realizing this, you simply take the pen out of your pocket and drop it on the ground from whence it came. You arrive at fifth period and unzip your backpack to take a pen from your trusty stash. You pick a simple black plastic pen, placing it on the left side of your desk. After the teacher demonstrates the topic of the day, you are presented with a worksheet to complete by the end of class. You reach for your pen, remove the cap, and place the cap to the left of your worksheet. You write your name, and realize something is wrong. Instead of gliding smoothly on the surface of the paper, your pen poorly etches black lines. You feel that slight resistance, that friction of pen on paper that you haven't felt in weeks. You're back to the same pen everyone else uses, the uniform standard, the unimaginative piece of black plastic that you've used for the last decade of your life. For the rest of the day you feel a bit off, but you don't understand why, and eventually brush it off after you walk off the bus onto your driveway. The next day, and the day after, you use the same pen, until eventually it too runs dry of ink. You take another black plastic pen from the pile to replace it, and feel no difference from the switch this time. You once again grow used to the friction, the slightly too tight plastic cap, and the lack of any sort of grip that all come standard with every plain black plastic pen. Days go by, weeks go by, years go by. You use pens daily in your work, but you've never thought about stepping outside of that plain, unimaginative uniform standard. One day at work, you roll your chair a bit too far to the side, and roll over your mobile charger. You go on Amazon to buy a new one, and knowing not to buy cheap bulk chargers that charge slow and break quickly, you settle on a $15 charger with $3 shipping. You see that shipping is free if you spend more than $25, and so you think; what is an item that we use daily, but never really think to upgrade? You search for pens on Amazon, below $15, and come across a familiar writing utensil. It's the silver pen! It's been so long that you didn't even remember the brand name, but you could recognize that pen anywhere. You place it in your cart, and both ship to your house within the week. You open the package, slip the pen out of the cardboard back of it's protective plastic bubble, and clip it to your pocket. The next day, you put your lunch in the fridge at work, and grab a post it note to tag it with your name. As you take your pen off your pocket, you click it and feel that perfect amount of resistance. You feel the sturdy grip, the hefty weight in your hand, and begin to pen your name. The pen smoothly glides across the yellow paper square, and you clip the pen to your pocket once more.Yes, it's a $10 pen. Zebra pens are worth it. Absolutely worth it.

ottima penna edc in metallo. scrive benissimo ed è pesante come piace a me

Well constructed pen. Writes well and I like the all metal design

Veramente un ottima penna per avere tutti i giorni con se,perfetto il grip che assicura sempre una presa salda, anche con mani bagnate o unte (premetto che lavoro in cucina). Se devo trovare un difetto forse l’unico è il refill migliorabile dal mio punto di vista. Ottimo il fatto che sia completamente Metallica sia per il fatto della durabilità sia per quello che può essere pulita senza problemi più o meno con ogni cosa.

Ottima penna. Arrivata nei tempi. All'intero c'è un refil fatto da uno stelo di ferro, sicuramente con poca autonomia ed in più ha un gioco quando si appoggia la penna. Comprata una ricarica specifica con serbatoio maggiorato, perfetta

Muy contento con esta adquisición. Robusto (es de acero) pero no pesado. Muy buena escritura. La única pega es que no es fácil encontrar recambios de tinta de la marca (habrá que probar con otras, por si hay alguna compatible)...pero bueno, mientras sigan disponibles en Amazon...

Ottima penna a punta sottile. Unica pecca (come per tutte le penne Zebra) la difficoltà nel reperire i refill in Italia.

Ottima penna! Scrive (al di là della propria calligrafia) molto bene. Spesso usata dalle forze speciali per difesa in quanto, grazie al suo corpo in metallo, è in grado di traforare il collo di una persona se si usa tutta la forza che si ha...Ottimo prodotto! Lo consiglio
