CSUSA - CROSS TYPE REFILLS

[PenMan1]

Has anyone here tried the new Monteverde cross type refills from Craft Supply?

I love the way the Montevede refills write and just recently thought how nice it would be if slimlines could write so smoothly.

I'm very interested in your opinions on these. They are pretty expensive, so I'll only order a few until I see how they preform.

I haven't turned a Cross style pen in years because of the crappy refills. I'll have to give these a try.

Yeah, thanks for the heads-up, Andy. I see that they have this type of refill in Parker ballpoint and Schmidt roller ball, too. I'm curious what others think about them. I'll try them with my next PSI order.

I'm going to try them with my next CSUSA order!

Wanna bet who gets 'em first? :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::wink:

Just got a handful today with an order of slims for my son's Marine platoon...1st Division, Delta Company, Platoon 1063...Ooo Rah!!!
Sorry, but I'm bypassing Pen For Soldiers for the time being and sending a bunch to my son's platoon. As usual...a refill and pad of writing scratch go with it. Mom and I are heading to Camp Pendleton on March 3-4th before he flies to Maryland for an armor detail.
I'll load up a refill in an old slim I have and see how they work.

Curious how do they compare to the Private Reserve Cross refills?

 

[thewishman]

Please tell us, Jim, how do they write?

 

[HoratioHornblower]

So here is my question. How to there compare to the Cross BRAND??? I like those by far the best right now, but they are about the same price as those.

I sold a Slimline this past weekend. I gave the customer the opportunity to write with the standard refill, a Private Reserve, and a Monteverde. He chose the Monteverde.

I just received some of the Monteverde refills and I like them. I haven't tried a Private Reserve Cross refill yet so I can't compare there but far better than the kit refills.
