BIC Glide Bold Black Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.6mm), 36-Count Pack

The BIC Glide Bold Retractable Ballpoint Pens are my go-to for smooth, bold writing. The B point provides a thick, vibrant line that’s perfect for both note-taking and journaling. The retractable feature is super convenient, and the grip feels comfortable in my hand, making them perfect for long writing sessions. I’ve tried other pens, but these are by far the best for smoothness and boldness. Highly recommend for anyone who likes a clean, bold pen that glides across the paper effortlessly!

I love bold point pens (1.6 mm ballpoint), which sadly are getting harder to come by these days. I have the Crystal Stick version also, both are smooth writing with rich ink, but I love that these are retractable so i don't have to keep track of not losing the cap. The Velocity also has a comfortable grip whereas the Crystal Stick is simply a clear stick pen. I can clip the retractable pen on my clothes (lapel or waistband) as I'm walking around at work & always have it on hard without accidentally getting ink all over me. I'm possessive of my bold pens. These only last me an average of about 2-3 wks each at work & everybody loves the smooth bold pens I wrote with but sorry they have to buy their own. Great prices here for a large box that lasts a while, I buy both black and blue ink to interchange as desired. Great pens, I hope Bic doesn't stop making them! They do not dry out over the long haul (so far).

Hands down the best pens I’ve ever used. Love the thickness of the ink!

I have purchased so many pens over the years that seem a struggle to use, with ink that stops as much as it starts. These pens are a real pleasure: there's a lovely flow to them that seems steady and expressive. Very smooth. And the pen is comfortable, fitting my hand well. I could immediately tell the difference and could understand what the other positive reviewers were happy about. There are other decent pens out there, but these seem to be a step beyond. I bought a box of 36 on sale for just under $12. I liked them so much I went back and ordered a 2nd box while the price was low, coming in at slightly more than 30 cents a piece. The cost is still higher than some of the choices, but these seem so much better and well worth the difference. I think you will understand how great these are if you give them a try. The ones that I purchased and like so much also have the name "Atlantis" on them in addition to "Velocity Bold." I'm not quite clear on the double name and why the Atlantis part doesn't always seem to show up in the listing. I have only recently acquired these pens, so can't really speak the the longevity of them. My husband always complains that his pens never last more than about a week. I gave him a couple of these to try, so maybe will update post this review. But regardless of when the ink might or might not run out, it's a lovely smooth experience till then.

writes nice and smooth

I'm in the medical field, do a lot of writing and signing, and it all needs to be bold enough to be read easily in original and copy form. PROs 1. These are BOLD. Much bolder than a 1pt. 2. I'm also in school this year so I've written reams of notes since purchasing these in January. It's the end of summer semester and I have been going to school non-stop this year. I still have more than half the box of 36 left. 3. Also the clickers always work, none have stuck. 4. No dry ones in the box so far. Cons: #1. They dribble - in other words, sometimes too much ink comes out and creates a bleb on the page, causing the writing to become illegible. #2. They will smudge if fingers touch the writing before the writing is dry. They also smudge if you go over them with a highlighter, even if they have dried. #3. Because of 1 and 2 above, it can be difficult to write small with them. They are not suitable where you need to have clear, fine letters, such as in your Bible for instance. Nevertheless, they are great for my purposes.

I am particular about the pens I use as I do not like the feel of a cheaply made pen like you would get from your local bank. These pens are comfortable and write well, long lasting, and not super fine like an 00.3 or 00.5 they are a good value for the money.

Excellent

These are the best pens...black, dark and a 1.6 size ball. This ensures a super smooth writing experience. I buy these exclusively.
