Review: 10/10 would buy again! - **5.0 out of 5 stars** Instantly became my “sign anything important” pen – the Matte Black Sonnet is pure class Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024 Verified Purchase I bought the Parker Sonnet ballpoint in Matte Black with Gold Trim from desertcart on May 3, 2024, because I wanted one grown-up pen that could live in my shirt pocket every day without looking like I’m trying too hard. After six weeks of constant use, it’s officially my favorite pen I’ve ever owned. **What makes it special:** - The matte black lacquer finish is gorgeous in person — understated, almost velvet-like, and it doesn’t show fingerprints or scratches the way glossy pens do. The gold trim is tasteful, not gaudy. It looks expensive without screaming “expensive.” - Perfect weight and balance. At 28 grams it has just enough heft to feel substantial, but it’s not tiring during long writing sessions. The barrel diameter is spot-on for my average-sized hands. - The refill is buttery smooth right out of the box. Parker’s Quinkflow medium black is easily one of the best ballpoint refills on the market — no skipping, no hard starts, even after sitting capped for days. It writes like a gel but never smears. - The click mechanism is crisp and satisfying, with zero side-to-side play. You can tell they’ve been refining this design for decades. - Comes in a really nice gift box, which made me feel a little less guilty about treating myself. **Daily life:** I’m a project manager who signs contracts, marks up prints, and takes meeting notes all day. This pen has replaced every other one in my rotation. Clients constantly comment on it (“Nice pen!”) and it makes even quick scribbles feel a little more deliberate. **One tiny nitpick:** The gold pocket clip is stiff on purpose (so it doesn’t fall out), but it can be a little tough to slide onto thicker shirt pockets or leather planner covers. After a couple weeks it loosened just enough to be perfect. At $92 (what I paid on a Lightning deal), it’s the sweet spot between “cheap daily writer” and “untouchable collector pen.” If you’ve been eyeing a Sonnet, pull the trigger on the matte black/gold version — you’ll reach for it every single time. Already planning to buy the fountain pen version next. Highly, highly recommended.
