Cross Ion

The "Ion" is a small pen from Cross that can be carried in a keychain or a neck lanyard if needed. Some of the models actually include the lanyard.

The Ion is a gel ink pen, this means the writing will be dark, smooth (very smooth) and will flow easily. It writes really well but the gel ink takes some time to dry so you have to avoid smears being careful not to run your hand over your writing.

The pen is opened pulling the ends and closed snapping the ends it extends just an inch or so. The grip is very nice and the style is very suitable for pocket carry since it won't leak and you can't get stabbed because the pen is quite stubby. It's a thick and short pen so you will have to check it you like it for writing, not everybody likes the same style of pens and grips.

You can get it in several different colors and styles and with several different ink colors from almost any office supplies store, you can read more about it in Cross website.
