WHY CROSS? I bought the A.T.CROSS Ion Pen about three years ago not only because it looks so small, cute, fat & elegant, but mainly because it comes from a well-known company, A.T. CROSS, who have been around since, I believe, before the turn of the ...

Pros: Even dark black ink, durable, comfortable
Cons: a bit stubby, plastic

Pros: Sleek ergonomic look, light, smooth writing
Cons: Shorter and stubbier than regular pens, pricey, some trims hard to find

Being fascinated with pens since my youth, I have always enjoyed using pens from A.T. Cross. Most of my Cross pens, however, seem to be marketed to executives in boring suits and ties would use at those endless board meetings -- those pens are heavy,...

Pros: Compact and convenient
Cons: Not suitable for long term use.

This isn't your daddy's Cross pen. The Ion's futuristic styling is meant to appeal to the 18-30 market, not the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. However, business travelers of any age might find the Ion to be a good investment for those frequent trips. ...

Pros: stylish, comfortable, small, convenient
Cons: may be too small for large-handed individuals

Cons: Awful reliability.

The design of the Ion is revolutionary while very, very practical. Small - not much larger than a Bic, it fits easily into small pockets or small purses. As such, it's perfect to leave it in a oft-worn piece of clothing or bag. Though you may not believe...

Pros: Warranty, fits everywhere, Eye-catching, writes smoothly.
Cons: little expensive, large width/ small length make it hard to write with.

This pen is the most stylish, sleek, and eye-catching pen ever. The pen is small enough to fit in ever pocket and wont catch or ripe the fabric, because there is no pen top. The pen is smooth to write with but my hand starts to cramp after long term...

This is a very nice looking pen! It is made by Cross and is of very good quality. It is nice and small, just under 5 inches approx. Unlike some of the previous ions, this one is METAL! It has a polished chrome finish. Instead of having one big rubber ...
