Last week I was at a job interview and all the pens they had were not working properly, they were some kind of Bic knockoff. I was already tense and the struggle to change pen every 4 words didn't help. That was the moment I decided I wouldn't leave the house without a proper pen anymore, and I remembered this video I saw a while ago. Now my all metal Jotter is coming in the mail!
perfect choice, jotter
I've been using the exact same pen (the all stainless steel Jotter) for almost twenty years now. I love them and would never be without one. I am a prison officer so I have to wear a uniform to work every day and the jotter is the perfect pen that fits in my shirt pocket without lifting the pocket flap too high.
Totally agree with your analysis- they are affordable, classy, reliable and they look the part. Actually after watching a couple of your more recent videos, I went out and purchased another one just as a backup! In fact, since subscribing to your channel, I've also purchased an Opinel knife and a Leatherman Style CS as well!
Keep up the great work mate- LOVE your channel.
+Adman1175 Thank you so much my friend.
Enjoy the Opinel and Leatherman, cant go wrong there.
Glad to hear about the jotter too! Nice one.
Best regards,
TGV
maybe you should try all stainless steel parker vector ballpoint, it has flat top so it would perfectly fit your shirt pocket without even lifting your pocket flap, just a suggestion. i own both vector and jotter love them both. the only con with the vector is the "tic tac" sounds made by the tip of the pen when writing (you know what i mean), quiet annoying but you can replace the original ink cartridge with some other option to eliminate that tic tac sound.
@@airlanggakinarya3746 not a bad idea!!
I have my Fathers ties, my Grandfathers shoe cleaning box, and my Greatgrandfathers trumpet. Love the history that comes with heirlooms!
I just purchased the very same jotter that you use on your recommendation. Thanks a bunch mate - I love it! Might start my own family tradition.
My dad had blue jotter from the 70's. Nice pens, when ever someone has selected their pen it shows that they care. Most people just use some free advert pens. (Like me, i really should get that blue jotter. Blue tip part and stainless end.)
Get the blue jotter mate, it really is a pleasure to use and very affordable. You cant go wrong!
After going from 1 model to another since 2017, I finally gave up on the iPad Pro as a note taking machine. Got myself a bigger iPhone instead, a cheap paper notebook and a Parker Jotter. Couldnt be happier!
I am here after 2021 EDC update video. First things first: Parker Jotter - in that brushed stainless stell version this humble pen is simple the best ballpen ever. Period. Excellent design, with tons of design heritage, affordable, EDC ready and with that so much satisfying clicking action.
Back to 2021: Dear TGV - I can be nothing but only impressed by your TH-cam videos improvement as well as your trully addiction to history and traditions.
Two tools I have carried daily for 12 years now; my Parker Jotter 51 and Victorinox Super Tinker.
The knife is the second one out of a pair I purchased, however the Parker is the EXACT one I purchased 12 years ago and still functions perfectly.
I originally purchased it because as a teenage boy I was enamoured seeing Pierce Brosnan as James Bond with this exact model in Golden Eye.
I use many pens and have numerous fine writing tools from my Grandparents in Germany as well as gifts from my parents; all of them know I enjoy taking notes the simple way and that means a good pen to take down the memo.
My Parker 51 has been my all time favorite and I was very pleased when I first watched your SKX review video as you used the pen to point out details on the watches as well as going down your note list.
If ever a pen deserved the praise of "pure class", I would say it is the Parker Jotter 51.
Your watch commentaries are what I keep coming back for but this was a smooth change and something different.
Well done sir,
Cheers!
I use the jotter all stell made in france for daily.I use a parker jotter mechanical pencil when i want to write with pencil and i use a parker urban
fountain pen for more dressy ocasions. ALL PARKER
I lost a blue jotter a couple of days ago after finding it on the floor of a corridor a few years back. It had a nice weight to it, an indestructible feel, always dependable. Brass threads inside.
As no other pen will do now I immediately ordered a replacement burgundy one off eBay for £3.99. When I inspected it on arrival I immediately thought “fake”.
It felt far too light, the metal parts rather tinny. The threads inside were plastic instead of the brass of my old pen. I learned after a little net research however that this is a progression of the jotter design. Anyway it does the job, but I’m going to hunt for one of the older(pre 1980) models with a little more weight to them.
I hope whoever found my pen gets as much pleasure out of it as I did !
Today they make them in India ; worthless peace of .......I still have Parker jotters of THE 70s and 80s made in usa
I like your idea of having the ink color match the the color of the pen.. I'm going to try that. Now I need to find Jotters with black, blue, and red barrels!
It's great you still have your grandfather's pen (hope the monocle turns up too). "I" (gave it back to my mum after sourcing a replacement clip) still have my grandfather's Parker 51 from 1949.
It looks like the older pen is the ballpoint from a British Parker Duofold set. I have the fountain pen version in black, it writes beautifully - but it's not a take everywhere, throw in a bag sort of thing!
I use an all-steel Jotter too, hate the bp refills, love the 0.7mm blue gels.
+FloundersMindthots Thank you, thats a cool you have your Grandfathers too.
Excellent comment,
Best regards,
TGV
Fauré's requiem playing in the background, you sir have a fantastic taste in music!
I have this pen as well. I've used it for a few years and I'm really happy with it. Nice choice.
Hi TGV. Not that expensive as other brands. I use another USA brand Cross. They have slim and elegant writing instruments as well. Very affordable. Happy with them. Your choice is very elegant and classy as well.
When I was very young in the early 60's a well off Aunt bought me a Parker set in that Maroon/Gold colour. It contained a Ball point, propeling pencil and a fountain, Wish I still had that set. Still have my fathers 51 and 45 flighter though and a couple of Burnhams.
I've got a really nice stainless steel parker jotter.. i love this little gem of a pen.
I understand you perfectly although I am a collector of fountain pens and pens, among which are pieces such as a Montblanc Agatha Christie or Charles Dickens, I always use my black and burgundy jotter parker, each one, with an ink color. They never disappoint. Greetings from Spain and thanks for the videos. CIAO
Very nice pen, my father used to have one, I don't know if he still has it, I remember seeing it as a kid. I'm thinking of buying one of these, they look great! I recently discovered the 'Antonini Old Bear' knives, they look better than the opinel in my opinion and will probably order the 'S' Version for EDC soon
Great Parker Collection.
I think parker is the best pen brand because the have good quality and the only make pens and writing stuff.
I would still be using my old Papemate Profiles. Refills are hard to find. They even had brass threads!
Nice video pal! I have my grandfather's hat which he never wore by the way, from the 1950's (everybody on that time wore hats) and his personal Parker 51 from his service in the Air Force in El Alamein, Africa war front during WWII. It is broken the front part though and I have no idea where to find its replacement, we're talking about a 1941 pen and in 2019 it is a little difficult to come by with a replacement parts! Anyway nice video!!
Is it safe to wear this pen inside your jackets pocket (with original Parker refills)without being afraid of "blowing" and loosing ink ? I had some issues with bics and other cheap ball points. Cheers and thank you !
Just saw this pen i your latest video. Just ordered one, along with a leather pencil case
Thank you, you will love it!
Best regards,
TGV
Nice video, I am too a big fun of jotter ball pens , for me there are the best writing instruments!
how long does the cartridge last for?
I still have that kind of stainless steel jotter pen , I think my mum bought it like 19 years ago and it is different from today's parker pen. Mine have logo on the top of the pen and now they dont have the logo anymore.
Hi Tristano!
The Jotter is a bit to small for me hand and fingers nowadays, do you sir have any suggestions for me regarding replacing it? I absolutely love the looks of the Jotter, it really is THE PEN regardless what! The metal/black always been my choice, a classic. If you read this and take the time to give me an answer i would be ever so thankful.
Regards.

what refills do you buy? on the parker website it is 7 dollars...
Parker is the best. I have over 300 of them from years dating back to 1956.
Nice intro to pens. Btw, which size case oris are you sporting?
Also, the 40mm only comes in the grey bezel then?
auxmike Yeh I got the grey in 40mm and I bloody LOVE IT. My blue Aquis is feeling jealous the 40mm is getting all the attention!
So 40mm is only sold in grey then? Hmmm. I do like how the clasp is of a more civil size🙈
I think the rubber look is much sharper than the heavy bracelet. I hate cold steel in the winter. The rubber is a lot more toasty!
I've hijacked the thread. It's about PENS!
I chuckled when you almost said ..." in the watch industry "...
He didn't _almost_ say it.
Watching this after 7 years.
Just bought 2 !
What was the music playing in the backgroud? Very soothing!
Gabriel Faure's Requiem
The Urban Gentry thank you Very much :)
Óscar Ramos Your welcome! Enjoy.
Yeah I have a blue barrel one and I gave my two kids a black and a red one. I have three steel too, one made in France and two in England. And in 2017 I bought a silver IM. All excellent
I use Parker pens, I did briefly think about getting a more expensive pen but could not justify the price.
I have several vectors, an urban, an IM, and I had an all steel jotter ballpoint, I will get another all steel jotter, jotter and vector are truly affordable Classic pens
Oh I find the jotter plenty luxurious... Infact do dig many other like Parker sonnet and Sheaffer sentinel among my favs but jotter remains the quintessential fountain pen!
Where did you buy it for 5 pounds?
parker jotter is the perfect pen. u don t need another pen, and it uses standard parker refills easy to find everywhere. i bought in the last few years a lot jotters lol
What the background music?😳
I wonder if the thin stainless steel barrel is slippery and uncomfortable for long sessions of writing
Reliable parker jotter.
that's kool as i am a parker, likely not the same family but still.
I just the exact model. 1971
I still have my uncles parker jotter ball pen and I got a fountain pen to go along with it.btw my uncle is dead):
Are Parker pens still made in France?
Some in France, but many in India as well actually
And China now... But some still are made in France.
Your grandfather's parker jotter is nice apart from one thing its not a jotter it is the parker slimfold Duofold
Hope you guys are switching out to easy flow 9000 refill. Too good.
I lose all my expensive pens so I only use cheap plastic pens. The most expensive one is a Lamy
Yeh, I hear you. Another good reason why I dont spend a ton on pens. Also Parker you can buy ANYWHERE, and the quality is always the same. So, if I am anywhere in the world and I lose my trusty jotter, I can simple nip in a store and buy the exact same one for less then 10 bucks, to me that's luxury! Checked out Lamy BTW, did an image search, my god! Zeee germans make some sexy pens! Very cool designs and not that expensive, cheers champs!
The Urban Gentry yea, they are pretty good quality. I just bought the plastic ones. Might buy some wooden one when I move to new house. btw. Thanks for the video. I'm so damn bored lately. Going out to eat something at 2am now can't sleep.
Chinaman Champ
WOW. Bored in 2014?!?!? I could never be bored in this world, so much music to hear, so many amazing works of literature to read, life times of cinema to discover, infinate places to travel (even if only by foot), and not to mention people to meet and women to seduce, I envy you Champz!! I could live a thousand lives and only scratch the surface of the depths of our existence, come on mate!!! chin up.
The Urban Gentry
P.s. 2am is normal in NYC, you should live there! Its jumping by 2am ;-)
The Urban Gentry Will try to read some fiction books and try to finish at least one. TBH I have never been able to finish reading a fiction book in my life time. (Even in high school I just read cliff notes). Just really bad with remembering people names and so on when I don't see the pictures. Non-fiction I can go through pretty quickly though.
And in sons of anarchy
One more thing: 'wrist watch check': failed! :))
the old Parkers are wonderful quality the new Parker "T'BALL jotters are not of the same quality
Your Grandfather's pen wasn't a Jotter, old chap. I'm afraid I cannot enlighten you further by offering an actual identification, but I do know it isn't a Jotter.
Waste of time only !
I don't think pens, Parker jotters, family tradition, sharing things you love and feel passionate about with others are ever a waste of time. Then again, who am I to say otherwise. Life would be so boring if we didn't at least try.
Thank you for watchcing,
Best regards,
TGV
