CREATIVE ART MATERIALS Caran D'ache Ballpoint Pen Metal Fluor Orange (849.030)

My pens tend to disappear. I've decided to tackle the situation by getting some relatively unique patterns and colors so they stand out. Problem solves. The 849 is available through Amazon and other sources in some great colors and prints. I like this pen so much I have 4 or 5 of them. The ink flow is not quite as easy as let's say a Uniball but the ink is consistent, it doesn't leak or pool, you can write just as easily on an airplane as on the ground. I use the pen daily and have yet to need a new cartridge. My favorite part about the pen is the heft, it's metal and it feels substantial on your hand. People who have borrowed it immediately ask where I got it. The only con is cost, the pen itself is reasonable and the supplier was great but the refills (that I have yet to need) are not cheap.

I have 2 vintage versions of these pens/brand and always loved them. Their ballpoint cartridges were so smoothly. My husband kept stealing my pens so I bought him this one and he loves it.

Worth every dollar - stylish and writes incredibly well. Perfect weight and feel - need to buy more!

It is hard to put into words just how bright the flourescent orange color of this pwn is. Caran d'Ache pulled out the stops on the color of this pen. It is totally inappropriate in a conservative business setting. I love it!

The pen is very attractive and distinctive. I bought one in bright orange. It has a very simple, functional design..Note that this pen does not come with a storage box or instructions. You are only buying and getting the pen making the price of this pen from the seller attractive. The seller can make this more clear. Instructions on how to care for this pen and replace the ballpoint pen would be useful. But I did a Google search for Caran D'Ache 849 instructions did not bring up anything from the manufacturer, so it may not exist?.The pen is constructed very well with simple precision and few moving parts. Maintenance is simple - you screw off the push-top knob with the ballpoint pen tip retracted and insert the ballpoint refill and screw back on the know while applying pressure down. The spring housed in the tip of the pen does not come out which is a good thing, because you do not want to lose that spring..Craftsmanship is Swiss superior. The aluminum body is machined well and smooth. The paint is very smoothly, thickly applied without any blemishes. The knob and clip are machined and polished well as well. And the pen feels very solid in your hand and while this pen is not heavy at all, it does not feel flimsy or disposable..I have four complaints though: 1 - The clip comes apart easily from the pen. It is not well attached and should not slide off, but it does. The clip has a tiny hole which is supposed to grip against a tiny bump on the pen body holding it in place, but it is not satisfactory and the clip moves. 2 - The ballpoint pen tip can protrude out a little bit more when in use. But the tip only protrudes out only ever so slightly making the user feel as though there may be a defect with the tip not coming out completely. 3 - Underneath the clip that I complained slid off too easily, you have CARAN D'ACHE etched in black onto the body of the pen which is hidden from view. I bought this pen, because it is CARAN D'ACHE. The logo or name should be proudly visible. 4 - Include instructions. But do they even exist? Read above - I googled for instructions and could not find any from the manufacturer.

Classic.

Satisfied with writing ability for jotting down notes in my “Field Notes” notebook.And, now I don’t have to waste time looking for my pen, I see its bright orange right away.

Outstanding pen. Use everyday for work. No issues. Well built.
