China manufactures a ballpoint pen all by itself (2017)

I have one remaining Cross ballpoint pen and one refill cartridge for it. It is the only ballpoint pen I have that is worth a damn. Unfortunately I lost the other 2 Cross pens I've had in my life.

The quality of most ballpoint pens today is deplorable. They leak or blob or don't write until you scribble a lot.

Muji pens are amazing in case you're looking for a recommendation. They're pretty cheap, but feel great to write with, and I've never had one give up on me prematurely. Its terrific for people like me who easily lose pens.

Dang, just visited a mall with Muji shop in it yesterday.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I also recommend Muji for pens. Also their mechanical pencils are great too.
