Everyman Gunmetal Grafton Mini Twist Ballpoint Pen

Mater: This is my third Everyman product I’ve purchased. The function and materials are solid. The initial ink cartridge however is junk! How does a company producing a very good EDC pen for the price-point fail so miserably in sourcing an ink cartridge for their pens?

Immediately replaced it with a Fisher Space Pen ink cartridge. Now it’s a well functioning EDC pen!

A. KentA. Kent: The pen itself is great. Excellent build quality and feels good in the hand. The issue is the ink refill... It's terrible. Not at all smooth, doesn't write cleanly, just an overall not good experience. I'd suggest skipping the bundle with the extra refills and just get a good ink refill from a well regarded manufacturer. I've replaced mine with a Fisher space pen medium refill and the quality of the writing is night and day.

Madhur: The pen is beautiful to look at, writes well. It is a bit heavy to hold and so takes a bit of time to get used to. But no complaints whatsoever.

Amazon Customer: Ink ran out quick and the clicky bit broke.

Michael P.: I was super excited for this pen since orange is my favorite color but the ink cartridges skip. I have tried two additional ones of the three extras sent with the pen and have had the same issue. I thought maybe it was the paper but other pens have no issue writing in the areas that this pen will not. I tried storing the pen with the tip facing down and flat on a desk and neither improved function. Disposable pens work more consistently than this. I will have to try a different brand of refills.
Update: The seller was nice enough to reach out and suggest a few things to try to get the pen writing better, unfortunately the refills still didn’t cooperate. If you use a standard refill that you like this pen is still a good, sturdy shell with fun colors. It is very durable and works in any setting.

Kwan L. LoweKwan L. Lowe: This is a review of the Everyman Gunmetal Grafton pen. I purchased based on other reviews.

I'd purchased one of these pens and it had a small defect with the clicker. Vendor support was great and they shipped a replacement promptly.

TLDR: This is my new favorite pen. The pen itself looks elegant and though this entirely subjective, I do feel that I write better with a better pen. I don't mean only that my penmanship is better, but that my mindset is different.

Out of the box, it comes with the pen (including refill) and an extra spring. Construction appears to be good quality. The coatings seem durable. Clicker is reassuringly clicky, though there's a slight scratchiness to the sound. The clip is robust.

The pen is a perfect weight for my writing style and quite comfortable. The barrel diameter is also just right for my hand.

The refill lays down a good, solid line without any gaps. On notebook paper there was no visible bleed and ink dries pretty quickly. The .7mm is on the high end of my preferred range but I understand that this pen takes Pilot G2 refills. Once the included refill runs out, I will likely go with the G2...

Jeremy: The pen writes smoothly, even in the cold. Feels good in the hand. Only con Ive found is that when the pen is closed it rattles which just makes it sound cheap, but it's nicely made.

Al K.: This is about half of the price of a Kara's Kustom pen which I've had before. I bought this looking for a present thinking ahead to Christmas at the office. The aluminum body on the pen feels good. It's a bit slippery, but the grooves at the fingers help with that. It's lighter than the KK pen, but that doesn't necessarily say anything about the quality. I think that the pen body is definitely sturdy enough for everyday use for a long time. I also like that the spacer between the clicking mechanism and the parker refill is metal. That's a definite improvement over the KK pen (they had a plastic tube). The clip is perfect and I wouldn't change anything about it. it's easy to adjust, sturdy, effective, and has a modern industrial look. The only real complaint I have is with the click mechanism. it feels cheap and it's the first thing I would expect to fail. There's a slight scraping feel when I press the button so I'd be worried about the lifespan of that mechanism. I associate that particular feel with click pens of the cheapest kind as most disposable ballpoint pens (like the BIC and the G2) don't have that.

I immediately took out the ballpoint cartridge...
