Parker Jotter Stainless Steel CT Ballpoint Pen, Retractable, Medium Point, Blue QUINKflow Ink, Gift Box
Parker Jotter Stainless Steel CT — the classic click ballpoint, all-metal, in a gift box
The Parker Jotter Stainless Steel CT (1953170) is a retractable ballpoint pen with a brushed stainless steel barrel and cap, chrome trims and the arrowhead clip, fitted with a blue medium-point QUINKflow refill and packed in a Parker gift box. It suits anyone who wants an everyday office pen that lasts years rather than weeks, and it is one of the safest corporate or personal gifts in the Parker range.
Parker has made the Jotter for more than 70 years. This all-steel version is the most understated one: no lacquer that can chip, a slim profile that sits well in a shirt pocket or notebook loop, and the familiar click that extends and retracts the tip. When the ink runs out you replace the refill, not the pen.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Parker Jotter Stainless Steel CT ballpoint pen
- 1 × QUINKflow ballpoint refill, blue, medium point — fitted in the pen
- Parker gift box (plastic-free, recyclable packaging per Parker)
What It Means in Practice
- Medium point gives a clear, slightly bold line that suits signatures, forms and everyday notes; Parker lists the line width as 0.9 mm.
- QUINKflow ink is Parker's smoother, lower-friction ballpoint ink, so it starts quickly and needs less pressure than a basic ballpoint.
- Because the barrel is stainless steel, it does not show wear the way lacquered or plastic Jotters can after months in a bag.
- Refillable: one pen covers years of use with standard Parker refills, which keeps the running cost low.
- The gift box makes it ready to hand over without extra wrapping — practical for staff gifts or client giveaways.
What Will Not Work
- It does not come with black ink — the fitted refill is blue. For black, order a Parker black ballpoint refill separately.
- It is not a fountain pen or rollerball: it takes Parker-format ballpoint refills or Parker gel refills only.
- Engraving is not included.
- Do not confuse it with the blister-pack version of the same pen (Parker 1953205) or the Bond Street Black CT Jotter (1953184), which has a black barrel.
