I am a very proud user of CROSS pens since I was 17 yrs old, now I am 46. They are wonderful and till date I haven't came across any defects in any of the variants in my collection.Its a pleasure to use them and a feel of confidence at your official places.
I generally don't use Cross. But was gifted this pen and let me say that am happy to get it. The pens and pencil write very well without stopping. I would recommend this for people, who write quite a bit.
