Pilot Ballpoint Pen S20, Dark Brown (BPPS-2SK-DBN)

The Pilot S20 is a classy workhorse ballpoint pen. It uses the excellent (affordable and ubiquitous) Dr. Grip Center of Gravity Refill (which can be found in either blue or black). The wood body of the pen is comfortable, durable, and unique. There's very little "jiggle" in the pen tip (which is a huge plus, since so many pens possess that annoying rattle). You could reasonably use the pen for everything from board meetings to grading homework.

Loved the matching pencil so much I bought the pen to go with it. Definitely a beautiful matching set. Highly recommended.

I've just received the pen and this are my first impressions.Most of the pen is made of wood and looks nice, but some parts, such as the clip and the tip, are made out of plastic or it looks like it's plastic.It would have been much better to make those parts of metal instead.The plastic looks cheap and won't last long.Inside the pencil, the screw thread is made from metal and from plastic.The filling is also Pilot, the ink is smooth and writes well but not as well as QuinkFlow or Schmidt. Though sometimes it produces some small stains, specially when you start to write (but not as bad as schmidts).It works but it doesn't feel premium, just a medium quality pen.

My husband LOVES this pen. He loves the color, the feel, and how fluid it writes. So much so, that we bought another one in the other color. It was very nice as well. Plan on buying more as gifts! No issues with shipping. It arrived timely and nicely packaged.

The pen works fine. It doesn't seem to write as nicely as a Cross pen, but totally dependable, and a good looking, sturdy pen.

Love this pen. It feels good in the hand, writes super smooth, the Dark Brown color looks great. I found the S30 pencil set while in Japan, and then added the Pen, S20 is a perfect match. So happy to find them on Amazon in the states now too. I decided to get an extra pen, so I can have them available where needed.

The pen is nice to have for corrections.

So I bought this pen for its design and especially the wood barrel. It writes great and feels good in the hand. I've had good experiences with Pilot pens in the past, but after 5 months of occasional use (among my many pens) the plunger tip broke right off! The plastic that the metal tip is attached to is thin and broke off when clicking it to write with. I don't see and way to fix it since parts aren't available and it can't be glued (I tried to save it by gluing but it wouldn't hold). I did contact Pilot USA and was told that they don't service this model, very disappointing. I thought Pilot would stand behind their products. In the end it's just a $20 lesson not to put Pilot so high up on the list.
