Review: These pens are the best! - I have received no remuneration of any kind from the seller, or associates. No coupons, or promises of a refund, no free product for a review, or any other type or kind. I have no connection with the company whatsoever except as a purchaser. I am not connected by friendship, marriage or business with the seller or their associates. I paid for this product with my own money and I am giving my honest opinion about the product and the retailer. I really like Bic pens. I have been using BIc pens for a very long time. I like the the point on these pens. They give a dark line, and the round smooth barrel is comfortable to grip for long periods of time. I have developed a large dislike for gel pens. All the gel pens I have tried show though paper, and the ink takes much longer to dry, and for me at least, the ink has a tendency to smear. The ink in these pens flow nicely, the writing is smooth without catching on different types of paper, and I haven't had any trouble with skipping. But I keep my pens tip down in a jelly jar, LOL. Mason jars are too tall and wide for my desk. I have a small jelly jar that I washed out and it holds just the right number of pens and pencils. That way I don't have to worry about any type of ink skipping, and have to shake the ink down to get it to write reliably. These are long lasting pens. These pens last me three or four times longer than the gel pens. They don't leak, and the writing is dependable. The price is reasonable, and they come in several colors. So I'm giving 5 stars for; Function, value for money, nice width on the lines, black black ink, the comfort of the barrel when gripping, the length of time it can be used before it runs out of ink.
Review: Nothing fancy, but solid performance pen. - The standard ballpoint pen. Reliable, nothing fancy, plain Jane. Writes well, big pack. Nothing terribly fancy, but plenty reliable. Maybe like the old Toyota Camry of ballpoint pens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worthy Implement !!!!!
*by O***S on July 6, 2026*

These pens are very smooth in ink flow and smooth in writing. There is no stops and starts of ink flow while using. It is smudge resistant, durable, and the color is even flow and no leakage before, during or after capping on pen. A permanent worthy implement!
