I love how fine the point it, and it writes very smoothly
Writing is crisp and fairly effortless for a fine point pen.
Seems nicely built and looks good, but the ink flow is awful (I have tried two different inks so far) and the point is terribly scratchy
The fine point on this pen is perfect for everyday writing
The only issue is that it can be somewhat temperamental with the ink plugging up, especially after changing cartridges or not writing for a bit, and trying to clear blockages can easily result in a big mess o' ink everywhere.
I like how it feels in my hand, I like the way it looks, and I love the smooth flow of ink.
Awful flow with the converter it came with and the converter I ordered.
Terrible ink flow and a nib that just won't keep straight.
They both stopped flowing before their first cartridges were empty and I could never recover them
The only issue is that it can be somewhat temperamental with the ink plugging up, especially after changing cartridges or not writing for a bit, and trying to clear blockages can easily result in a big mess o' ink everywhere.
This product came to me with a failed refill cartridge 😞 and no reliable way to store the converter or an extra refill
but sometimes i find that the converter that the pen comes with does not fill all the way and also sometimes the pen will leak excess ink through the nib
This is my first fountain pen, and I really love the way it writes
The pen feels great in the hand and extended writing sessions are not so fatiguing as with my super fat cigar shaped fountain pens, which I also love
You get ink on your fingers from time to time, but I love the way it writes.
At first the pen bled a bit which caused to get in my hands
Pen has a nice, solid feel in the hand due to the brass construction, looks respectable, and has a smooth Pilot nib that puts down a fine, moderately wet line and has a bit of give to it (not enough to call it flex, but it gives a softer feel when writing than some of the hard German nibs so common in most other moderately priced fountain pens) and handles just about any ink you throw at it like a champ
Cheap starter pen, if does bleed a little bit sometimes but not enoigj to ever stop using it.
In an age of automatic digital connected wearable voice activated everything, there's something almost primally satisfying about writing on real paper with a pen that requires a little bit of effort and skill but rewards you with a much better experience if you're willing to try
I am a bit of a pen snob, collector, appreciator... and this pen loves up to all the positive reviews
The only issue I've had is the nib leaking and an unfortunate mishap with the converter.
I've used it for a couple of months now and have had no issues with the nib becoming clogged or needing a cleaning (yet).FYI in the picture 1 = 60lb card stock, 2= recycled post-it note, 3= index card, 4= lightweight cream copy paper
But again, was hoping this wasn't a fountain pen issue, rather a cheap fountain pen issue
However my issues and more so your issues with this pen will be invisible
The pen does leak a little but perhaps it's because I don't write often
It sometimes even leaks a little from the force exerted by opening the cap
This pen leaked a little in the beginning, then started to leak a lot
