 Usual Cross Quality and Stunning Beauty February 13, 2010
John L.T. (Castro Valley, CA USA)
A beautifully unique Cross creation that displays the usual Cross quality and classic look. Feels wonderful in the hand and writes wonderfully. Cross never disappoints and this fine writing instrument is no exception.

For those of you who have used Cross pens I need not extoll their pluses. The beauty of this one is what makes it stand out. It is classy, the color is unique, and I absolutely love it. It comes with a fine point and I prefer medium but that was easily rectified with a refill at less than $3. Buy this as a gift, no need to see it.
Nice if under $30 Cross Century Tender Rose April 2, 2009

It's made in China not USA. Many reviews state this may be an issue tho after 1 day...no problems. Mechanics are smooth and the silver band in the center is stable. The Tender Rose has a nice balance/weight, & is heavier than an older, Century Chrome luster (made in USA with Japanese parts) that I have. Genuine Cross refill inside says "fine" and doesn't smear tho it is only slightly finer than medium refill (which smears a bit). The difference in print width between the two is barely noticeable. Matte? or pearlized satin finish is definitely not slippery like a chrome Cross pen and yields a nice, comfy grip but it more susceptible to scratches, chips/dings (don't toss it around). Item arrived in 6 days, undamaged from Shoplet thru Amazon. Yes I'd recommend it if under $30 (It is a Cross). Cross Classic Century Ball-Point Pen -Tender Rose
 Poor quality November 26, 2008

This is a nice looking pen, but the first impression fades as soon as you try to use it. Things have definitely changed at Cross. It's very obvious they've outsourced their manufacturing. I twisted the pen to expose the point and was surprised at how cheap and gritty it felt. This is compared to my old stainless steel Cross pen which feels smooth and solid. After taking the pen apart and comparing it to my old pen, I noticed that the threads inside my old pen are metal, and those in the new pen are plastic. I'm sure this is what's mostly responsible for the difference in feel. The pen skips badly when writing, and twice the point "popped" and disappeared back up into the pen. I was able to "fix" it by taking the refill from my old pen and replacing the cheap one in the new pen. It's adequate, and it looks nice, but it certainly isn't a "fine writing instrument".
 Value pen June 30, 2008

This is a classic style Cross pen but has got a plus in design that is given by its colourful body.
