After looking at the office supply stores in town, I gave up trying to find what has become my favorite pen and found this version online. I couldn't find them at Staples, Office Max, Walmart and other stores.I like the feel of the plastic body in my hands, it works well for me. With the pens I ordered, the click top and writing end have been changed to a transparent plastic, which makes the pen look slightly different, fortunately the pen works as expected. I press hard when writing and have a difficult time with roller ball and gel type pens. They stop writing for me and cause a mess. Only higher priced pens often write consistenly for me. I also hold the pen incorrectly (according to my grade school teachers) which can cause some slower drying inks to smear as my hand moves over the line when I write the next. This pen works well for me, it continues to write under the firm pressure I use and doesn't smear all over. I also like the fine point, I like the clean crisp lines it produces. Makes my writing look better than it is, after all, typing all day has cut into my penmanship skills!They describe the body of the pen as triangular, it may be slightly out or round but it's not really a big deal, you can feel that the softer plastic part is slightly flatter than the 3 darker plastic lines that run the length. I really like it. It doesn't roll away when you set it down because of the pocket clip.5 stars, I'm glad to have another box to keep me going for a couple of years. We'll see how long they last before the ink dries out now.
