As someone that has never used a fountain pen before, I have found this pen to be simply phenomenal. It's comfortable to use and easy to hold thanks to designed grip. It's a great starter pen for those wanting to get into using them, especially with the $23 price tag (after getting it, I would have paid more). I do want to mention a few things about it:

1) it's great for left handed people like me. Write all you want and it still won't smear or get all over your hand like most pens or pencils.

2) it is bigger then most pens but it isn't as bad as some may say.

3) If you want black ink, I recommend the Lamy Cartridges Refill - Black (5) T10BK. My pen came with a beautiful royal blue cartridge. Though I have found the T10BK to be a little thin, it still writes great.

4) If you're new to fountain pens, or if you've used them all your life, make sure you put the cap on because this pen dries out and take a little scribbling to get it to come back.

5) If you work in retail like I do, you'll find that there are some surfaces that this pen can't put it but it will on most.

I highly recommend this pen to anyone, new to fountain pens or grew up using them. Order this and I guarantee that you'll love it and not want to use a normal pens ever again.



4 out of 5 stars It seems to be a wonderful pen .   April 9, 2008

I think this is a wonderful pen in every respect; it gives a sterling performance. I really give it 3 3/4 stars. I haven't had it long enough or used it enough to comment on its true quality or worth as of yet but, so far, it has done a sterling job. After a while, I could see myself giving it 5 stars but I cannot see into the future. As I continue to use it and it continues to age, I may change my rating up to 5 stars or down to two, one or none. I need to see how long it continues to look, feel, and work sterlingly. Thank you, Baron David B. White IV


5 out of 5 stars Great Pen!   March 28, 2008

This is a functional, dependable, and durable pen. My only complaint is the finger grip is for right-handed writers. But the pen's positive features outweigh this drawback for left-handed writers. The converter (for use with bottled ink) is worth the money and works well.


5 out of 5 stars For the money, a great fountain pen   November 20, 2007

Very smooth writing, and the cartridge-to-reservoir converter (not included) works very well, thereby allowing you to use bottled liquid ink.

The housing is very light and durable, and for the price I'm not concerned if I have to leave my desk for the factory floor.

Great Pen - loved the super fine tip. For a lefty it didn't really even smear when writing. I was a bit surprised at the material it was made of. It doesn't look as sleek and modern as in the picture but for 30 dollars it is definitely a steal! - Would recommend.
