Beautiful metal version of the iconic Korean classic, the Monami 153. The standard version is the best selling pen in Korea, with billions sold. Here, the same styling has been given to a premium quality metal ballpoint, using standard G2 'Parker-style' refills.

Matt finish, in black or white. In both cases, all visible parts match, making the whole pen either black or white. Even the 'monami 153' print on the barrel is only very subtly different from the barrel itself. Note that the black version particularly picks up finger marks quite easily, but wipes clean easily too.

The quirky retract mechanism of the standard 153 is there in all its glory - push the button to extend the tip, but retract it again using the little sprung side button. It's a simple mechanism that's proved itself billions of times over in the original design.

Barrel is aluminium, with brass cone at the tip, making for a balance point towards the tip. Brass push-button, with plastic retract mechanism/spring. Like the standard 153, there's no pocket clip, but the retract button should prevent it rolling away from you.

0.7mm black refill supplied in the pen. Refill with Monami's FX-4000 refills, or your choice from hundreds of G2 'Parker-style' refills.
