Cross ATX Basalt Black Ballpoint Pen - 882-3

Writes smooth, very good balance

Quality workmanship, heavy, wide, exactly what I was looking for.

Great pen! I have used Cross Bailey Medalist pens for years and loved them. The only problem were they were slippery. I am a financial advisor working with older clients and they were too hard to write with. My new ATX is not only beautiful, but easy to write with. Many, many compliments. My biggest problem is getting it back from my clients. Very satisfied!

I used ordering this item as a catalyst to begin writing again. My first non-bic pen was a Cross and I thought the nostalgia would jump start the process.

Not particularly expensive and not a particularly 'fine' pen (although it's sturdy and certainly functional). For me it's perfect for me since I wasnt looking for an expensive pen. Quite the opposite. I was looking for a pen for a special purpose on which I didnt need to spend too much money. About the 'specific purpose": I simply need a slightly larger pen with the weight due to nerve damage. For that reason I have had one of these in my pocket since 2018. Incidentally, I cant find much of a difference between the ATX and Calais versions except in style where the clip attaches to the barrel or plunge. Depending on where you look, the price could be nearly identical with the same refill for both, but the Calais averages about $4 US cheaper. One issue... the ink. I dont know why, but the ink refills vary in quality and longevity. The last one I ordered lasted about two weeks. Another I've had since 2018 still works. It's just not consistent. However, I'd be petty to rate the Cross ATX pen as 3/5 for that fact. I'll keep using the Cross ATX, since it has a special purpose for me. But I cant actually recommend this to anyone else who doesnt need a larger weighted pen. JHA

A beautiful balance & feel to this pen. I prefer a fatter pen 🖊 to write ✍️ with since it fits better in my large hands. My favorite pen for work!

As a draftsmen, this pen has easily become one of my best friends. you'll be asking yourself why, haven't I purchased a number of cross pens, before now?!!! Not only does it perform as advertised, but it just looks good and handles, just as well. You'll notice that your good penmanship has gotten much better, since your brilliant purchase order of this cross pen. I make a gift of a number of cross pens/writing instruments for my near and dear friends, over the years.

If you want a "nice pen" without paying Mont Blanc money, this is an excellent choice. Well-balanced, easy to write with, have enough to feel "substantial" without being unwieldy. Over the past three years, I have ordered four of these -- primarily because I keep losing them. My fault, not the fault of the pen. Whenever I lose one, I ordered another of the exact same model.

Ottima penna, una cross, una garanzia. Molto bella e scrittura scorrevole

良い点 歴代のクロスの中では、相当に書きやすいバランスの取れたペンだと思います。適度な位置に重心があり、握りやすさを生み出す適度な太さと丸みのある軸になります。黒色を購入しました。表面の仕上げはラッカーではなく、マットで少しザラッとした質感になります。これがさらにグリップ力を高めています。筆記時のペン先のコントロールはとてもしやすいです。指紋汚れはつきません。 センチュリー系にある細すぎて長時間記載すると疲れる問題はなく、タウンゼントのような後方重心もありません。少し前の製品ならアポジーに、現行製品ならエッジに似てます。デフォルトのインクはmediumです。くっきりはっきりとしたリッチな黒色です。やや太字のため、漢字をきれいに書こうとすると自然に字は大きくなります笑 クロス特有の全体的にあるカチッと感は健在です。見た目の安っぽさはないです。 悪い点 Mediumは太字傾向のため、早書きはしずらい。ゆっくり記載していれば良いですが、急いで書こうとすると独特の抵抗感が入り書きにくくなります。ノック式ではなく、抵抗力のある回転式のため、素早さを要求される日常的な業務では使用しづらい。 結論 これが3000円で入手できるとは、コスパ良好です。クロスファンならぜひ所有しておいても良い一本かと。進化したクロスを体感できます。

Sehr gut. Wunderschoner Kugelschreiber.

Lo compré para hacer un regalo, y es perfecto, viene con un estuche de cross grande y de madera, por lo que además de la caja de carton del envío, hace que sea imposible que se rompa el bolígrafo. Escribe genial y es muy ligero, pero sobre todo es elegante. Lo volvería a comprar!

Sensación muy agradable se escribe muy bien se ve elegante y fina con materiales de excelente calidad, es una compra en la que consigues un artículo de escritura lujoso y sobrio al mismo tiempo.
