Works really great. the pen runs smoothly and is a great value

This pen has replaced my Pilot G2's for now as my desk pen purely due to the fidget aspect of the bolt-action slide. The big pros would be the bolt slides extremely smooth, the pen uses a minimal amount of ink for a nice inking, and the feel of the pen itself does have a premium feel. The two cons that I have found with the pen would be the thickness of the point itself (purely preference) and the bolt action does take a considerable amount of force compared to other bolt action pens. A great buy and a great time killer as well!

This pen is a joy to write with. It has such smooth writing action with ink that doesnt bleed at all, it makes my bad handwriting actually look nice for the first time in a long, long time. On top of that, the bolt action opening/closing action is very satisfying and sturdy feeling. Using this pen feels like I am using a strong tool, instead of a dainty writing instrument. I find myself clicking and unclicking the bolt action for long periods of time. It may annoy my family and friends to listen to, but for me its just so satisfying- and doubly so because I know the bolt action wont be breaking anytime soon, if ever. I have not yet worked my way through an entire cartridge of ink, but knowing that it takes ink refills is a major relief. The only thing I am concerned about is getting replacement ink refills. One, I wish it would have come with some refills- even just one would have been nice- and two, I am concerned that the replacement I get (which will most likely be from a different brand because this pen take standard sizes) will not have as good of a writing action. We will have to wait and see, I suppose. I will report back here when that day comes. All in all, I really like this pen. It comes with a very nice gift/ storage box and its weighty feel and quality bolt action are great. Unfortunately, the unsure nature of getting replacement ink cartridges and the fact that it came without any refills, has forced me to knock off 1 star. So 4/5 stars, certainly not bad and I still would not hesitate to recommend, but any buyers should be aware of these issues.

I got this pen because I thought it looked cool and I like the bolt mechanism. So far I have not been disappointed. While a little slimmer than my other go-to pens (ones a fountain pen and the other is a rollerball) I havent had any hand fatigue or cramping using this, unlike with the cheap stick pens you find in all the banks. I think its because the pen has a little weight to it and its balanced well. Writing with this is real smooth, the rollerball cartridge seems really high quality. And, if you dont like it you can change it pretty easily. Just unscrew the front gold piece and the inner assembly comes out. Just note that there are two springs instead of the usual one you find in other retractable pens. Personally, I like the included cartridge, it has a small point which is to my taste, the black ink is nice and dark, and as I mentioned earlier the writing feel is smooth. The bolt action to extend/retract the rollerball has a smooth action to it. If youre like me and find yourself constantly clicking other retractable pens you wont be doing so much of that with this pen. Which, lets be honest, is probably best for your partners/friends/neighbors/school chums nerves. So, thats a good neighbor win right there. I really like this pen, overall Im pleasantly surprised that Id like it as much as I do as it is slimmer than my other pens. But, with its well balanced weight, smooth writing and bolt action its quickly found itself in daily rotation.

There are pens that we all use everyday, and there are PENS that try to make a statement. The bellaDimora Premium Slim Bolt Action Pen aspires to the latter, but falls a bit short on several counts. The pen arrives in a nice presentation case. There is no accompanying literature or such with the pen, just the pen in the box. Exposing the tip of the pen is through a sliding bolt type action along the side of the pen, a unique feature. The pen looks substantial, but weighed 28 g, 0.988 ounces, which is on the light side for such a pen. Exposing the tip shows a covering sphere of material, suggesting a gel cartridge. It wrote well, but not as smoothly as a gel cartridge should write. Replacing the cartridge, the technique of which is not documented, involves loosening the ferrule at the point end of the pen, removing a spring loaded tube, to reveal the cartridge, which is a G2 size. There are no markings on the cartridge to indicate the size or type. At its price point, one would expect a spare cartridge to be supplied, cartridge type to be specified, and instructions for replacing the cartridge, none of these are present.
