My handwriting is relatively small/fine and the Cross Classic Century pens are one of the few that are comfortable for me to use when writing longer pieces of text.Regarding complaints that the pens feel cheap compared to the older ones from a few decades ago, yes they do feel lighter but material and production technology has progressed and almost all pens feel lighter than a few decades ago. This doesn't mean quality is much less than back then, it is still way better than those dime a dozen pens even if some people think/feel otherwise.
