Ballpoint pens have big advantages: they're quick-drying, they work on many kinds of paper, they don't require any maintenance, and they have a long cap-off time before drying out. But ballpoints are also known for big disadvantages: they often skip, they don't make dark lines, and they're typically not durable or attractive.

The all-metal Uni Jetstream Prime Ballpoint solves these problems while maintaining the utilitarian benefits of ballpoint pens. The Jetstream Prime ballpoint cartridge is unusually smooth and skip-free—characteristics that are usually reserved for rollerballs and gel pens. It makes dark marks on all kinds of paper. It's easily refillable and the metal body is built to last.

Twist the Jetstream Prime to extend the point; twist it back to retract. There's a metal clip to keep it in your pocket. And the metal body is painted with your choice of two sophisticated finishes: olive green or aqua blue.

Made in Japan.
