Caran d'Ache 849 Metal Range Ball Pen - Metal Sapphire Blue, inchiostro blu

I'm very happy with this pen! I love the sleek, utilitarian design and that it feels like good quality materials. I especially like that there is basically no plastic except for a very small piece the inside the clicking mechanism.The pen is a good fit for my (rather small) hand, but I could definitely see how someone with larger hands might find it too short or too thin to write with comfortably over a long period of time.If I had to nit-pick, then the only "problem" I can find is that the pen doesn't have the same satisfying click sound that a lot of ballpoint pens have; however, the mechanism functions perfectly well.Overall, I'm very satisfied and look forward to many years of writing with this pen!

I got fed up with parker ballpoint cartridges always leaking inside the pens and wrecking them, and generally being of lousy quality, so thought I would try something different. So far, I'm very pleased with this, it looks good, seems very well made and writes well.

I ordered this Caran d’Ache ballpoint pen as a birthday gift for my son. Unfortunately the pen was not in a gift box or any form of packaging, which was disappointing!I didn’t come across any notes from the seller advising that the pen was sold without packaging, otherwise I would have ordered from another seller.Overall pen is fine, as I’ve used the brand before, but a pity I cannot gift it to my son in this unpackaged manner.

The only problem is that there is too much choice in terms of colours to choose from, and I want to buy them all.

This pen has a nice weight to it, and the ink cartridge lasts a very long time. I will be buying them again in the future (cartridges, not pens, as I expect the pen itself to last a while).

Cool pen but was loose in an Amazon cardboard envelope I expected better from a somewhat expensive pen.

The media could not be loaded. The Caran D'ache 849 pen is well made and feels like a nicely engineered pen, however, the key aspect is the writing experience and it is very poor - the ink "blobs" frequently as can be seem in the video. Other refills perform so much better such as Schmidt ... the CD refills are upwards of £8 so this really is surprising.

These pens are wonderful. I often buy them as gifts - they are perfectly weighted and the refills they come fitted with seem to last forever. They don't scratch, and write smoothly. One tip though - go for a gift-boxed one if it's intended as such - it looks a bit underwhelming in the small plastic bag it arrived in.
