Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I would almost say that this pen redefines what an entry level pen is. From the moment you pick it up, it seems like a more expensive pen, a lot more expensive. The body is metal, unusual at this price point, unusual at the next price point up. The style and finish are austere and clean, modern without being gaudy, I like it a lot. It feels solid but not overly heavy. It just feels like a nice device. It's one of the smoothest writing pens I have, just glides over the paper but still provides some feedback about the paper texture. It lays down a nice, slightly wet line, virtually never skips. A good starter, it's uncommon for it to not start right away, even after a few days unused. The Japanese Medium nib is about the same width as an American or European fine, a good bit finer than a Euro Medium. It's not enough that this pen looks, feels and writes like a pen at least double the price if not more, it also comes with a converter for bottled ink! Granted, it's a squeeze bulb not the screw piston most people seem to like, but it seems to hold a lot of ink for a converter. The only thing abut this pen that I don't love is the grip section, it's a little more slender than I prefer, but that's really a small quibble. Overall it's a nice functional pen and an incredible value. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
