Sometimes you want to write with a pen that feels more substantial in your hand. The Sarasa Grand accomplishes this for you as the pen body is nicely weighted due to it being made of brass. The spring loaded clip is made of metal and underneath the clip you can see a little window that gives you a glimpse of your refill. The body colour of the pen corresponds to the colour of the ink that is included with a .5mm tip. Don't let that stop you from creating your own perfect colour combination though. Any of the Sarasa Gel Clip Refills will work in the Sarasa Grand. A fantastic option as a gift for someone (or yourself) the Sarasa Grand makes a great Every-Day-Carry pen.
