I took my adult son and daughter plus our son’s 2 young granddaughter’s to this store. My children and I are true pen and ink nerds and we are just fine with that. I purchased our granddaughter’s first fountain pens so it’s in the genes!
Great service and attitudes!
It is good overall.but it is a little scrape paper.
It's light, shiny, and otherwise perfect! One of my favorite features is the almost triangular grip that forces you to hold it at the ideal angle. Everything about this pen feels just right and it's a pleasure to write with.
