Why is this called a "sketch" fountain pen? I seem to be missing something.

It is called a sketch fountain pen because it was designed to create art ("sketch") rather than writing. It has a nib that creates fine lines rather than a ball point for writing.

The ballpoint tip is retractable by a twist mechanism, similar to a Cross pen. I am kind of a 'pen junkie' who has a collection of very nice pens and I must say this Parker Sonnet exceeded my expectations. It is a smooth writing, well made and expensive looking pen. It is one of my favorites!

I don't know, never had the need to do that. It is a nice pen and I like the fine black refill.

Nope. There are a couple characteristics of this pen that make it potentially awesome, but then there are a couple characteristics that crap all over that.

Yes, it's a clear, light weight plastic fountain pen that writes surprisingly good. It also has a ball point fitting that writes like a roller ball.I use mine as a roller ball.

Elaine here again: just checked the item and it comes with a converter, cartridges, and a suede wrap; this is a lovely, light pen to use. Pen & Ink Sketch Fountain Pen Set X-fine

Hi. I know. This pen make me frustrating every single day. I just put it in the garbage can. I bought new sailor fountain pen. sailor make great quality fountain pens. (expensive or chip It doesn't matter.) all sailor pens are great. I bought extra fine nib pen and medium pen. both are so good. I ordered Amazon and those were ship from Japan.

In my opinion, it seems to be a normal type of pen , which would make it a medium. It is not a fine point and bold is one I never used.

I think it kind of feels like a gel pen. It's really smooth and sometimes it can be rough with the amount of times you use it but they are great pens.

When someone clicks the pen, it completes the circuit to the metal at the top. It's not painful; just startling. There's a battery inside. There is also a false ball point on the end, so it looks as if could function as a real pen but it doesn't. So, when a person clicks the end of pen to extend the ball point, they get a shock. The pen looks cheap, but people don't usually hand expensive pens to other people.

No it isn't, the picture of this looks awesome. When I received mine I was highly disappointed the shine is not as it appears also the embossing is not that detailed. Just so you know also the paper is that very heavy pulpish material.I wanted that style of paper, however if you want to use a fountain pen it's very hard to write and the ink soaks up in the paper. Hope this May have answered some questions.

There is a "nose-cone" tip that unscrews. ... Just stupid simple ... There is a tension spring but the insert (refill cartridge) does not retract ... It is just covered by the cap. ... The cap (with the ring monunted on it) snaps on (does not screw on) ... I read that some people lost their pen because the cap did not retain the main body of the pen ... I bought it anyway ... I lost mine, within a week ... This is a fairly short pen ... The cartrige does not use the PARKER Compatability extension adapter, that comes with each refill, because this is not a full length pen (but is long enough for normal, comfort and control).

I've had trouble with this pen too. I own a couple of them, rollerball and ballpoint. The best way I've found to refill it is to put the spring, over the point, before you insert it into the top of the pen. That is, hold the refill straight up; then put the spring on, then, put the top of the pen over it, hold it together, when turning it over screw the bottom on, then, it should be lined up. Hope that works. Thanks for your reply. Have a nice day.

It's a pen with a soft rubbery tip on one end. You twist it to bring the pen tip down. I've only used it as a stylus, I haven't used the pen part yet.

I'm not sure. Actually I wasn't impressed with the pen and haven't been using it as a result. It came highly recommended by a guy at work however I when I tried using it this winter it was writing well.

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

I found a refill that works, although it has to be modified just a bit. The Penatia by Parker. It fits with the cap on and writes great. BUT you have to put a bit of wadded up paper (or whatever filler you want) in the tube. If you just put it in with the spring in there it will work, but have a springiness to it when you write. Others may find that okay, but I changed it. Works great now and was a 30 second fix. Well worth it for this great pen (especially after trying many others)!
