Writes like a dream , I got green and filled it with green ink !!
I've never owned a Pilot fountain pen before. When I ordered it, I did so strictly because it was a good price for a well known pen brand. It came in a very nice case, and with the converter and one disposable ink cartridge. When I took it out of the box, it felt comfortable in my hand. It was a very sturdy metal with a very balanced weight. I put pressure on my wrists with all that I do with my hands, but I felt no discomfort when it came to writing. I popped in the cartridge and it wrote immediately, with no skips, and the amount of ink dispensed with perfect-- it doesn't bleed, and no matter how long I've set it down, it's managed to write on any weight of paper with ease.
I'm thinking about buying this pen in multiple colors! The top snaps over the nib with a satisfactory and secure click. The nib itself takes well to both a light touch and a heavy one-- the amount of ink seems indifferent with my handwriting no matter if I'm writing in print or cursive. There isn't much flex to it, but it gives me enough feedback when I write that it makes writing a pleasure.
The only thing I worry about is the color chipping over time... but even that won't be a problem as the price point was well in my novice range. 10 out of 10-- this is definitely a good one to have in the arsenal. I'm currently shopping for the right color ink and notebook to match it with. Thanks Truphae!! I've enjoyed my purchases thus far!
I got this pen as a gift for a friend’s birthday and she absolutely loved it! She’s always wanted a fountain pen and this was a perfect start for her collection. Great price and awesome color and design. Thanks Truphae!
