SkilcraftVista Retractable Gel Pens (12 Pack)

I have used Skilcraft Vista Gel Ink pens for years at work, and I finally ordered some for myself so I'd stop being tempted to take them all home and leave them there. Imagine my chagrin when something very different arrived at my house, and I'm out ~$2.50 a piece for pens I don't like at all.Worse, it appears this is a permanent change to the design, because the pen featured in the product thumbnail on this listing - with a ribbed grip and several other noticeable differences in design - has also stopped showing up at my office, and the substantially inferior one I got in the mail is also being stocked there. Boo, Skilcraft. BOOO.I plan on hoarding the old ones if I can find them for sale anywhere. They were vastly better, but once again capitalism has ruined a good thing by trying to squeeze greater profits out of a fixed-price contract.

The pens that I received are not the ones advertised. They are cheaper looking pens that are not to be found in the Skilcraft catalogue. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they are counterfeit pens made by Intergra in China, not made by Industries fro the Blind. The ones I received look like Integra gel pens. So buyer beware.

Love this pen. Love it in blue ink! Affordable and writes like a dream.

Love these pens. The ink is smudge proof. The only thing. They only come in medium and blue. I wish they came in black and offered a smaller size.

I have always had an affinity for office supplies. These pens are the BEST pens I have ever come across. They write seamlessly, don't smear but give the great gel pen look.
