Cristal ReNew Re-Fillable Pen and 2 Refills, Black Single Pack,501036

I like this pen a lot. The pen body is metal and has some weight to it. The cap is plastic, but works fine. The refills that it uses are standard Bic Cristal ink, so they work perfectly fine. I like how stable the refill is in the pen and the feedback you get while writing.

As a life-long pen collector, this was a fun addition to my collection. Classic Bic Crystal design, but made from aluminum, rather than plastic. Too bad that Bic USA doesn’t sell this. Mine is imported from Europe, at 3X the normal price. Com’mon Bic USA, make this a regular item in the US.

What’s there to say? It’s a BIC ballpoint so you know it writes well. The silver color body makes it stand out from other BICs. The included refill is nice to have. Don’t know when I’ll need it cuz these pens write FOREVER.

Thought this may be cool, it’s not lol. The cap is plastic giving it a cheap feel. The body is aluminum and the pen itself has an ejection button for the ink cart. Problem is, my ink cart falls out sometimes without being triggered. It works just like every Bic Crystal ever, maybe a little dryer than usual. Difference is it looks like it’s been spray painted silver

They market this like regular Cristal pens aren't refillable, but it's trivial to pull the refill out of a Bic Round Stic or another Bic Cristal, so I don't know what that's about. That said, this metal body is a little heavier than a Cristal and kind of a treat to write with. The mechanism to push the refill out is totally unnecessary, but it works fine and, perhaps, some people will find it easier to use it than not to. The pen comes loaded with a medium black refill and the box contains two more medium black refills. The refills are available for purchase, but we've all got plenty of Bic pens floating around the house. Just take the refill from one of those when you need to feed this metal Cristal. Around here, you can get 10 Bic pens for $1 when the kids go back to school. The rest of the year it's maybe $3 for a pack of 8 or 10. Either way, it's way cheaper to buy a pack of donor pens to get the refills from than it is to order the refills directly. And you can choose your tip and ink color if you buy a pack of pens. If you want to order refills, all I can find are medium black. A shame, really. Anyways, this metal Cristal is a nice pen to use for when you want something just a little heavier than a regular Cristal. If you like Bic Cristal pens, then you'll probably like this as well.

I love Bic pens. Then again I Love all kinds of pens. This one is really good. It’s a metal version of the classic “Cristal” pen. Really a very nice pen. The cap is plastic though. Probably a safety feature in case it gets stuck in your throat. If you’re looking for refills, just buy some of the plastic Cristal pens and use the ink refill. Also, there is a small button on the side of the pen that you can use to remove the ink refill. Really a great pen!

Absolutely great pen. I bought it for work. It was gone in less than a week under my watchful eye knowing a customer was going to nick it. That should tell you everything you need to know

This pen brings back so many memories. I prefer the bold ink, but I was able to use the bold crystal blue ink and use as replacements with only adding a little tape to add diameter.
