Summary: A Great Birthday Gift
Comment: This pen makes the perfect birthday gift for any young professional, male or female. To add a personal touch you can take it to a jewelry store and get the recipient's name or initials engraved. It is something to consider for those hard to please, have-it-all individuals.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Chinese junk
Comment: Some of the other reviewers said it best: This is not the Pen it was. Cross, in financial turmoil, moved manufacturing to China, and this Chinese made version is lighter, and feels significantly cheaper, than the American one.
I returned mine and bought a vintage Cross on eBay.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great pen
Comment: I bought this pen as a gift for my dad. He loved it! It has a nice feel in your hand and the ball tip flows smoothly.
Customer Rating:
Summary: No longer a quality pen
Comment: Cross quality has decreased since the last generation. This pen scratches and dents easily, collects fingerprints, and has a thin metal exteroir.
I compared this pen to a similar model from 20 years ago, and the older pen is far superior.
Similar is true for the more expensive fountain pens, which feel, like cheap plastic.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I need to be honest here. This pen is actually quite good, but not the best value in its class.
Comment: I have one of the late model USA Cross pens (there is a small, local office store that still has stock going back to the mid 1990s) and one of the China-made pens. They are not different. The China-made pen is actually a bit better, with a tighter fit and a smoother twist. I am using a Swiss off-brand ink tube which, ironically is less expensive than the Chinese "real" ink tubes but writes just as well. The China-made pen still has the feel of a Cross pen as well as the design, and manufacturing is still being overseen by Cross, according to their representatives.
Still, I don't like the idea of moving production to China on a classically American product. Just by ideal it seems like a cheap knockoff, even if it is technically the same product.
Overall, though, this is a good pen but not a great one. I recently purchased a Parker steel classic that looks better than these, (it has a gold arrow clip and a gold button)writes better than these (the inkflow is smooth) is NOT made in China (England, actually) and costs several dollars less! So this Cross is definitely nota five star pen and it is fairly good, but not the best for quality or price in its class...
