Is it too heavy? I've never used a steel pen before. I like the control of plastic pens.

It is very heavy...I break out in a sweat when I use it. I didn't warm up before using it once and ended up spraining my wrist. It ripped a pocket off my dress shirt. Buy and use with extreme caution.

That's a subjective question only you can answer. I find it to be substantial, although not heavy. It is narrow enough to fit in any pen stall in any shirt I have, and sometimes I forget it is there.

It will be heavier than a plastic pen for sure but a fine BMW is typically heavier than a Toyota. However the additional weight is worth it.

Not at all. The pen is actually plastic inside. The metal on the outside is rather thin, and the only part with any real weight to it is the finger grip. I wouldn't worry about heft.

Its better than any of the pens I have found so far, I baught this so customers could sign my Samsung phone or tablet, and it does alot better than the large tip pens, but be careful because the rubber tip falls out. And its very hard to find once lost. Hope this helps.

I'm assuming yes, MontBlank is definitely more expensive, but is a good looking pen, has a good weight to it and I don't have any issues with writing. Hope that helps

Fisher does make Space Pens with plastic barrels, but this one is metal.The pen is lightweight, but it is magnetic so it is proably steel.It is a very nice pen.

Yes, I would say so. I love the pens, because they are perfect for pocket-carry and they write on nearly anything in any position. I recently bought several more, so I checked the box of a spare. The outside cardboard box has info and graphics about the pen coming from the space program, and the inside clear plastic display box is pretty nice. Buy it for the pen. I gave one to my friend, and he thanked me the other day saying it was his every day carry pen and he uses it all the time. Refills are easy to find.

It is sturdy I wouldn't say heavy it is easy to move and set up the sections by themself are not heavy I purchased several types of containment type pens and this has been by far the best just take care not to force or bend metal rods that hold the sections together or then it is a but of a pain

The Parker Jotter is very solidly made and quite durable and substantial. However, it is not at all heavy. With a Parker gel medium point refill in it, I think it is the best ball point pen I have ever used, and I have used all price ranges from Bic to Montblanc.

I don't have that issue with mine. It should be sturdy and the lead should be firm. Nothing should be wobbling. There are couple things I can think of that will made the tip wobbly when writing; 1- wrong size of lead (smaller size then what the pencil was made for) 2- didn't screw the tip that housed the retractable tip all the way in.Hope that helps.

Seems like it's already been answered but to add my two cents in: Yes it *can* post to the end while writing but I really wouldn't. I have bigger hands (not huge, but big) and it completely throws off the balance of the pen... I'd just hold it or set it aside while writing. More than worth it (if you prefer to post pens while writing) for the pen. It's one of my absolute favorites.

I personally would not consider this ideal for writing for extended periods of time. People don't realize this, but this lap desk is actually relatively heavy, sometimes to the point where my 13" MBP is on it and it's all on my lap and feels like its just crushing my legs- maybe I'm just sensitive..At any rate, if you plan on like writing your daily notes on it, then it would be okay for that. But if you're looking for a long term solid option, I would look around at other options first.

I returned this pen after receiving as it was not what I originally thought. Unfortunately, unable to answer your question.

I like using the pen for photoshop, especially once you get into precise and detailed work. This is definitely an expensive item for some added convenience, but if you have the budget, go for it. You'll probably find yourself enjoying it for even regular computer use besides the photo stuff.

The writing tip is metal, not the silver colored plastic below the soft grip. The things I like best about this pen are the weight and feel, but the most important thing is the ink. The ink flows smoothly (no clumping) and dries as quickly as I write, so there is no smudging and you get a beautiful consistent line.

I don't write with it all day, but I think it's comfortable. It's truly the best pen in the world. I've yet to use another pen that I think writes nicer. Buy it, and if you don't like it ship it my way :)

I wouldn't recommend it simply because of the quality of the wood, unless it's in an overhead protected area. This is definitely a quality pen. Like the flexibility in setting it up according to required need/area.

No, it's too heavy for that. I'm pretty certain the shaft is steel. I particularly like the black sleeve over the shaft that makes it very easy to hold while I use it.

The cap when covering the nib is very secure. When the cap is on the end of the pen it can withstand a few rigorous shakes before coming loose, but if you are just writing it will not even move. I am by no means a pen expert, i just bought this pen cause it looked cool but it turned out being a really sturdy pen as well.
