Collection: Ballpoint Pens

Take Note's ballpoint pens range from everyday writers to serious Swiss and German craftsmanship, all built to handle daily use without smudging or skipping. Whatever your budget, there's a pen here that earns a permanent spot on your desk.

Everyday and pocket pens start around $16, including Kaweco's compact Sport line and Caran d'Ache's iconic 849, both built for daily carry without a second thought about durability.

Designer and luxury pens run from roughly $95 to $900, with pieces from Diplomat's Aero and Esteem lines, Caran d'Ache's guilloché Ecridor collection, and Graf von Faber-Castell's wood and precious-metal barrels. These are the pens people notice, and the ones worth gifting.

Every pen here is chosen for how it actually writes, not just how it looks. If a smoother, lower-pressure ink is more your style, browse our rollerball pens instead, or keep your favourite ballpoint topped up with a refill from our inks and refills collection. Come try a few in hand at our shop in Toronto's Junction neighbourhood, or shop the full range online.
