I've always loved Cross pens and pencils since high school and this classic model is luxurious. I ordered these as a replacement since someone "borrowed" mine at the office when I was a lunch one day. I plan on ordering the matching roller ball pen and extra refills (ink and lead) and erasers. Smooth writing, nicely balanced in  your hand and ideal for us lefties since the pen writes in many positions. I love my cCross set and they are engraveable Comes in a nice presentation case as well.
