Uses

Everyday writing with a smooth, long-lasting ballpoint

Use this refillable 849 ballpoint for daily writing, from notes to long sessions on A4 pages. The included medium Goliath cartridge is described as very smooth for a ballpoint by reviewers and is manufacturer-stated to write up to 600 A4 pages. The steel tip with a rotating tungsten carbide ball is designed for clear, smudge-free lines.[1,2]

A ballpoint pen you can keep refilling

When the ink runs low, the 849 Paul Smith ballpoint takes the Caran d'Ache Goliath refill rather than needing replacement. Refills come in colours including purple, turquoise, black, red, green and blue, with black and blue offered in large or medium tip sizes. Note that the Goliath is a proprietary size and does not fit pens from other brands.[3,4]

A pen made to travel with you

This limited edition Paul Smith ballpoint pen comes in a metal case that keeps it protected, and the maker describes these writing implements as perfect for taking with you everywhere you go. It suits anyone who wants a designer pen on hand for everyday signing and note-taking while out and about.[3]

Add a colorful touch to professional belongings

The bicolour design ballpoint pen adds a unique and colorful touch to your personal and professional belongings. This pen can be used during a business meeting, while scribbling thoughts in a notebook, or when signing important contracts.[3]

Storing the pen in its metal box

The pen comes with a metal box meant for storage—described by the manufacturer as collectable, durable and reusable. Caran d'Ache notes these limited edition pens are carefully stored in their metal boxes, making it easy to keep the pen protected when not in use or to carry with you.[1,3,5]
