The ink does not flow, the nibs are solid, not separated like they should be.

The only complaint I have is that it did not show or describe how to put the the ink ink the barrel that well and cleaning the nib after use wasn't that easy

They have decent quality nibs all things considered.

Those seeking an inexpensive italic or flexible nib pen would be better off buying Sheaffer's italic nib pens or Noodlers flexible nib pens.
