Faber Castell 148690 Oil-based Emotion Pure Black Ballpoint Pen

Love the Pen.

Great balance on this pen. Texture is perfect. Love this pen (Faber-Castell refills are pretty amazing too)

arrived in factory stock packaging. bag in box, no gift case. feels solid but stubby in my xl hand. close in size to my favorite pens. shape is more bulbous than expected. knurled piece is smooth in my fingers almost slick. writes smooth out of the box. this will stay on my desk, this pen's price was reduced but my favorite pens sell for much less. my favorite pen company does not make a refill to support my e-motion so i will explore the available options. faber castell refills are comparably priced with high quality options. made in germany. should be long lasting

While I was attracted to some of the other E-motion series ballpoints, I chose the Pure Black and I'm glad I did. I see people arguing about which is heavier, the all-metal Pure Black or the resin barrels ones. I haven't held any of the resin barrel ones, but I sincerely doubt a resin barrel is going to be heavier than an all metal one. In any case, I find the weight of the Pure Black to be balanced perfectly. The pen itself is not heavy, but it is substantial, and as I mentioned, perfectly balanced. It's also very handsome with a guilloche pattern inscribed on the barrel.It writes beautifully - as it should considering the price point. I'm glad I bought it.Note: I see some reviewers on Amazon for other Faber-Castell E-motion series pens complaining about ballpoint tips attached with plastic or writing horribly. Frankly, I doubt whether any of those were really authentic Faber-Castell pens. ALL Faber-Castell E-motion pens have metal ends and tips and come with a standard Faber-Castell refill. I certainly don't think they were sold by Amazon, rather by third-party sellers on Amazon. Read third-party seller reviews before ordering - it's only common sense. If there is anything about the pen that doesn't seem right, return it immediately for refund.

This is my first Faber Castell, it fits perfectly for my hand size and writes smoothly. I do prefer a fine tip and this came with bold, I bought the medium ink refill and it’s just about perfect. Great pen if you’re looking for fine writing at a better cost than most.

This pen is my first Faber-Castell Pen and it will be the first of many. I work in law enforcement and it's my go to pen. I love how heavy it is so I notice when it's not in my pocket. I don't recommend it to anyone who has big hands because it's rather small.

For the price of the product, which is expensive, the packaging looks too cheap, and it arrived in very poor condition. I have bought products from the brand several times and this disappoints me. I will not buy any Faber Castell product again.Para el precio del producto, que es caro , El empaque se ve demasiado barato, además llegó en muy mala condiciones, he comprado varias veces productos de la marca y con esto me decepcionan, no volveré a comprar ningún producto de Faber Castell

Love Faber Castell pens, this one is no exception. Wonderful grip/feel. Looking for a fine refill, seems everything is bold or medium
