Kaweco BRASS SPORT Gel/Ballpoint Pen I Pen Including 0.7 mm Rollerball Pen Refill for Left-Handed and Right-Handed Users in Classic Design with Ceramic Ball I Gel Rollerball 13.0 cm in Brass

This is an excellent pocket pen. It is a super smooth rollerball that is comfortable in the hand with a nice weight / heft to it that feels substantial. It’s extremely well made and durable.

Had the plastic version of this, and I knew I had to upgrade.. This is a heavier pen, feels really good when you use it, and yes, it leaves a faint smell of metal on your hands for few seconds.

It's a nice rollerball pen. It's heavy so it's not for everyone. I think the AL Sport would be a better everyday pen but the brass is more beautiful. Weight aside, your hand will also smell like an old penny.

I have both pallpoint and fountain pen in this brand. One of the few pens that don’t leak all over your hands and the fact they , when closed, are much smaller than a standard pen make them a v useful travel/handbag/pocket companion. V robust. But most importantly smooth and beautiful for writing.

Excellent quality as all kaweco pens. Can’t talk highly enough of these pens and pencils just superb for writing and so well made. Worth every penny

A statement if you ever needed one. Writes beautifully. Feels good in the hand

This pen is great. But not quite perfect. I think it was designed as a travel pen. So the length increases significantly when you unscrew the top and put it on the end. It's solid brass, so is lovely and weighty in the hand. It's very pleasing to hold and to use. It's great. As it's brass, it quickly starts to discolour. Or 'develop a patina' as they might say. I suspect I could get the brasso out and keep its original sheen, but I rather like how it's starting to go now. Plus I don't have any brasso. Who does, these days? It's just ever so slightly too short. I have medium sized hands, and another 0.5cm would make this perfect. But I knew how big it was when I bought it, so my fault and not theirs. Lovely pen though. Be aware - this doesn't come with a clip, so if you want to put it in a jacket pocket, you'll need to buy one separately. And it takes Parker style refills.

The pen itself is one of the best I've ever used. I've had the same kind before but lost the last one while travelling a while ago and missed it enough that I eventually decided to pay the high price for a replacement. It's comfortable to hold, I personally really like the top-heaviness of it when writing with the lid on the other end (although that might not be comfortable for everyone), and the rollerball cartridges are high quality and glide across paper smoothly. I've used Kaweco's ballpoint cartridges in it, too, and they're also very nice to write with. What I don't like is that the product image contains a nicely designed tin for safekeeping, which wasn't included in the delivery. Instead, it came with a tatty, flimsy card box which will be beaten to a pulp in my bag. Of course, this doesn't affect how much I like the pen, but it's a bit disappointing. The case might not be important to most people, but it is advertised as part of the purchase.
