The Jotter XL ballpoint will come out in all stainless steel in late August/early September.

Those metal rings at the front of the grip are what the cap clicks on to. It allows a smaller and more comfortable step in diameter from the grip of the pen to the body.

If you only had 1 ballpoint pen for the rest of your life, for all situations, I'm pretty sure the S.S. Parker Jotter would bet the best choice. Is it the best for every situation? No. But no other pen ranks 9 out of 10 in every situation.

I have a Jotter fountain pen from the early 2000's. It doesn't have any silver rings or chevrons on the nib. The nib and the whole pen are really tiny. I'm pretty sure the nib is even smaller than yours.

The black cartridge Quink is less opaque than the black cartridge in my Lamy Vista.

The scratchiness of the rollerball does go away in a few days, it seems to need a short break in period.

Another great video Sal. Now I have to buy a Jotter RB. LOL

I have two of the original nylon barrel Jotters. They are gray and green. I bought them new in 1955 or '56. I also have a very rare "NEW" Sterling Silver Jotter and mechanical pencil set. They are in the original presentation box and even have the paper sleeve that holds the box closed. I bought the set for my father in 1973 but he never used either instrument. All are offered for sale. The sterling set will be expensive because it is "new" and in absolutely pristine condition. Lou Saalbach

Even the plastic Parker ballpoint Jotters are looking cheap. Buy only the stainless or colored metal (Parker Royal) versions.

Some jotter ballpens have the Parker engraving under the cap, on the sleeve that’s connected to the pen clip. Also some do come in soft boxes while others come in more solid “gift-like” boxes. Can you explain why is that difference? Is it different production line? Is one is newer than the other...Can anyone explain please?

How do the jotters compare to the pilot MRs?

[marshall]

Is the rollerball and FP barrel interchangeable? I have the rollerball metal barrel and would like to purchase a plastic version of FP

[tomnelson]

I heard one time that they added the hole in the cap serves as a choking prevention for kids that might stick it in their mouth and gets it stuck in their throats. Have not idea how true this is or not.

Yet another awesome video, happy new year Sal! i recently started caring a backpack a lot lately and i was wondering. what would you recommend as a good edc backpack pen?

[lincmerc]

Can you do a comparison review between the Parker Big Red ballpoint and Sheaffer No Nonsense ballpoint? They were very similar and popular in the 1970's.

This video only showed up when i searched for Parker Rollerballs. I never saw it in your videos feed. Makes me sad what else I haven’t seen uploaded by you. ☹️

A great way to get more colorful outer bodies for all stainless looking pens/pencils is to simply use a product like Cerakote. That way you can DIY custom a pen/pencil to your color preference. Requires a bit of work but it would definitely beat a plastic body >___>

[williamneal]

Their Parker rollerball is iffy. Gobby. Skippy. BUT, what IF you or someone else could figure a hack on say a Schmidt 888 or whatever, to really ride this very nice pen body. Because Parker. The Tombo and others can be too heavy. Tombo can still skip some.

[GordieGii]

The construction of my Jotter fountain pen is a bit different. There's no metal ring on the section and the clip (polished stainless) is stuck down into the top of the cap beside the recessed, black plastic finial. Cap imprint is <|> PARKER T FRANCE
