BIC Glide Bold Blue Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.6mm), 4-Count Pack, Retractable Ballpoint Pens With Comfortable Full Grip

I love this brand! I got these pens on sale and gave some as gifts. They write smoothly, and I haven’t had any issues. The ink dries quickly, they’re easy to use, and the blue ink color is great. I’ve been using them for a while now with no problems—no leaking or ink getting everywhere. They’re a great value for the money, and I’ll definitely be purchasing more as gifts in the future.

These babies are the epitome of pen perfection, and I feel like a boss every time I put them to paper. With a bold point that demands attention, these pens are not for the faint of heart. They're like the lions of the pen kingdom, roaring with confidence and leaving a trail of sharp, decisive lines in their wake. No more wimpy, feeble marks – these pens know how to make a statement! The smooth glide of ink is like butter on toast, except it's better because it's in pen form. I feel like a wordsmith, effortlessly churning out masterpieces with each stroke. It's like my thoughts are dancing onto the paper, and I can't help but marvel at the sheer brilliance of my own words (even if it's just a grocery list). But here's the best part – these pens know how to leave a lasting impression. Unlike those cheap, flimsy pens that give up after a few sentences, the BIC Glide Velocity Pens keep on going like the Energizer Bunny on a caffeine high. They're reliable, and I can always count on them to be there when I need them most – like a trusty sidekick in my pen adventures. So, if you're tired of mediocre pens that cramp your style and mess up your handwriting (not that mine was ever neat to begin with), the BIC Glide Velocity Bold Ballpoint Pens are here to save the day. Embrace the boldness, let your words flow with flair, and scribble like a boss with these pens by your side. You'll never look back – or use another pen again.

I love theese pens. They are not high quality but they write great. I think you will like them.

I'm surprised by how smooth and great these pens are. Really like them. Very comfortable to hold.

Comfortable, smooth writing pen

(I wrote the same review for the black version of these pens) I write a LOT, and am a list maker: notes, studies, descriptions, thoughts, you name it. Through the years I've had a few favorite pens, but when I stumbled upon these - as well as the same type in black ink - that was it! I fell in love with using these pens, I have one in nearly every room of the house now. The ink is dark, bold (as the name/description states), and extremely comfortable and smooth to write with. I have carpal tunnel, so using a pen that can keep up with me is a tall order. I've ordered these pens numerous times, and will continue to do so. I have also purchased these pens in red and green. However, I had to subtract one star for the following reasons: After writing a few lines, or a page worth of things, the tip of the pen gets 'gloopy.' I've taken to keeping a tissue or napkin close by to wipe off the tip as needed. While storing the red/green pens in a desk stand, I found that the ink actually seeped out of the tips, then hardened and actually clogged the end of the pen where the tip retracts into. Not what you want! The amount of ink has also markedly decreased over the years. When I first started using these pens, the ink seemed to last forever; no more. I go through them much faster than before, which leads me to.... Apparently there are NO REFILLS for these pens, which means I end up throwing out a perfectly good pen with a still perfectly-good casing, which is very disturbing from a recycling POV. But...that's just how things are made, nowadays, right, Bic? Such a waste and terrible for the environment!!! Bic also can't figure out what to call these pens; through the years, they've been known as Velocity, or Atlantis, or (now) Glide/Glisse. I wish Bic could make up their mind about this. While I enjoy using these pens, and will continue to purchase them as long as Bic makes them, they would really do themselves a favor by listening to their customers and fixing these product issues.

There are not too many things I'm picky about but I do love a good writing pen, or I should say printing pen! Must be either bold point or medium point. Not crazy about sharpies, so I tried these. I have been using the pens made out of pop bottles , medium point for years but thought I would take a walk on the wild side and try these! Well let me tell ya , good folks, these are GREAT! Love the smoothness of the ink, the medium point is just right I say try them, you will be surprised 🙀!

These are the best pens I’ve found in the past decade. I am extremely picky because I’m a lefty and a contractor that uses writing utensils on job sites from plans to wood measurements with a subcontractor to even contracts. My biggest problem for over 50 years have always been the thin tips I can break off, not get any ink from to the tip breaking entirely but once my daughter showed me these 1.6mm pens exists I haven’t been able to use anything else. I love the blue ones because I typically like a lawyer use those yellow note sheet pads to write on and it’s so much easier to see blue ink on than black ink on it. I also love it for use on official documents and signing contracts as well its a lot easier on my wrists as well. If you are a pen connoisseur like myself and don’t want to break the bank on pens that can be lost easily as many can and from my home office, the expensive messenger bag my daughter bought me (after 40 years of being mobile building with reusable plastic bags to carry paper and spilling coffee she not only got me a bag that wasn’t a briefcase because those were great for my corporate jobs but not at all in my SUV or job sites for me to reuse at all. Then over the years I’ve seen her style from high school to college, grad school for business, city volunteer politics and into Fortune 500 company job with corporate America I’ve seen her purses, lack of purses and migration to tank bags on her sport motorcycle with backpacks that held helmets then to tote bags and messenger bags that carried her purse items in it too there wasn’t a bag neither of had seen reasonable for a dirty job site that wasn’t very feminine and plain black without any print even brand names) That is until this holiday where she found me the perfect one so hopefully I won’t be losing and finding pens on an average of about 2-3 a week overall gone and having to rebuy but these Velocity 1.6mm are extremely durable as I’ve dropped a few on the ground and then stepped on them in my work boots and nothing happened to them not even a broken clip on the side. I will say I live a block away from Target, Staples, and a bunch of other places where the lowest I’ve seen these pens for a single box for was $15.99 and then last week I went to Staples needing ink where my daughter does all the stocking of my office supplies and manages all my paperwork I’m so greatful it’s been a while since being in a supply store and this same box right now is $21.99 at Staples sadly. Amazon is the Best Deal and won’t go anywhere else. Definitely worth the money, the quality and the price.
