BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point (1.0mm), Black, For Everyday Writing Activities, 10-Count

Listen, I’ve tried the fancy pens. The gel pens. The refillable, metal-body, multi-color, triple-price pens. And yet I always come back to these. The BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth in black is just it — the ride-or-die pen of my desk, bag, and nightstand. They write smooth as hell, no skipping, no weird blobs, no cap drama. Just clean, crisp lines every time. Ink flow is consistent, and the black is a nice rich tone — not that faded gray nonsense. Also: they’re lightweight, comfortable, and somehow feel nostalgic and professional at the same time. This is the pen I reach for without thinking. Reliable, cheap, weirdly satisfying to click into the cap. Honestly? Pen perfection.

I love these pens, they always write smooth and last a long time. It's nice to have a lid on the pen too so that I don't mark up everything around me. Great size to keep in your purse or bag and the lid helps it not leak all over the place. Ink doesn't smear as I write. Great pens at a great deal!

I really like these pens. They give me a nice sharp, bold, black line. They're not super bold lines, just bold. Much better than the smaller tipped pens that write what looks like like a spider web line width. These pens write smoothly. Though you do have to store them with the point down or you have to shake them a bit when you write with them. I just put them in a pen holder with the point down. Problem solved, a cup or jar that can old pens works just as well. It's not a complicated time consuming thing to do. And at this price point who cares about storing them point down. I refuse to spend nearly a dollar apiece. or more. for something to write with. I'd rather save the money I would have spent on overpriced pens, to purchase something else. I don't like gel pens they soak through paper and make a mess, they also run out of ink much faster.

Great pens. Write immediately and easily. Can see how much ink is left.

Great price but as someone who jots things down a lot the ink lasts but the writing isn’t smooth. If you’re a heavy writer it can be a bit of a strain but take it easy and great for every day use. No leaks and the color is basic as said. No smearing for me. So good but grip isn’t good for long term writing.

I purchased these BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Ballpoint Pens based on years of using them, and they continue to be one of the most reliable pens I own. They’re durable, easy to grip and write smoothly, and the ink never skips or leaves globs on the page. I’ve repurchased multiple times because they’re such a great value for everyday use. I love the medium point which has become my go-to pen. The black ink is especially handy to keep around since many forms require black ink only, and these pens always deliver consistent, clean lines.

These are the best things pens. They write smooth and have a good ink flow. They are a good thickness, and they do come in a variety of nib sizes. You aren’t going to cry because someone stole it, because they are so cost effective.

good pen

Very good

BICはやはり書きやすいです。いろいろなボールお延を使いますが、結局、BICにもどってしまう。

OK so these are a little expensive here, not only because you're only getting 10 for the price but we are paying the quality tax for BIC pens. And fear not because the quality is here. They're really nice to write with. The classic no fuss design works tirelessly and effortlessly as you know exactly what you're going to get pen after pen, right down to the last drop of ink. These come in a plastic bag, and are very easy to open... not so much to reclose after so you probably will be moving them to something else to store them. Overall, fantastic pens that feel nice to write with.

Smooth for writing, painless grip, and no leakage, no pooling of ink as you write.

Being a writer, I've bought so many pens over the years, but for some reason these basic Bic pens seem to work better than any other. They write so well and outperform any other pen I've bought even including super expensive ones. The only downside to using them is that the hard plastic makes the fingers hurt with long term use, so they're mostly spare pens for writing notes and addresses. Anything more and you want something with finger cushioning. But as spare pens that you won't be using for extended periods they are perfection.
