This is a great tiny..., October 12, 2010
This is a great tiny pen. It fits into my jeans pocket like a dream, and starts
and writes well every time. The cap snaps on firmly, with an audible click and I
do not worry about it coming off in my pocket.
There are two issues with this pen that I am not totally satisfied with. One is
that the section seems to like to come unscrewed from the barrel while it is in
my pocket. It has never come completely out, but i have found it to be loose on
occasion. The 2nd is that it seems like when you snap on the cap a bit of ink
sprays out into the cap and on the nib from the concussion of the cap snap. The
nib simply does not stay clean.
All in all, these two problems do not cause me to stop carrying the pen, it is
my go to pen for everyday carry.

My friend purchased me..., December 27, 2011
My friend purchased me this adorable little pen and I absolutely love it! The
small size is ideal for on the go and I can practically fit it anywhere. Also,
the minimalistic design makes it a very nice low profile pen, for someone that
wants to avoid carrying their nicer flashier pens, making this pen perfect for
traveling.
The nib is very smooth and writes very well.
This pen is perfect for anyone looking for a small, low-profile pen that they
can carry with them all the time. Just grab this pen and a couple cartridges and
you're set!

I love this. I bought it 5 years ago. It still works fine now. I always bring it
with me. It is strong enough so that I can put it in the pocket of jeans with
me.

I have just received..., January 18, 2010
I have just received and tested my pen. From cap to barrel and nib, this pen
deserves some attention. Being a "mini" one, it is smaller than average ones and
to me, it´s a good feature - a matter of personal taste, nothing more.
It´s made of aluminium, is extremely light and despite not having any
adornment, looks good and fits discretely in any pocket.
Mine came with a cartridge of black ink, and this specimen wrote a nice flow of
wet line, so smoothly on plain paper, turning cursive writing a breeze. The nib
is another thing to pay attention to: good looking, well polished, shiny metal.
The cap fits with a "click" at the writing end and at the back end, slips
smoothly.
Even the package is worthy of note: seems to be made of recycled cardboard,
denoting a commitment to a safe environment. Nice attitude.
All in all, I think this pen is a good one and fulfills its promise. If you do
like small pens, try this one.
I know that personal tastes do exist and trying to satisfying everyone is an
almost impossible task, but to me, it seems to be perfect for a day-to-day
writing, even to go to school and write down your annotations.
My next step will be to test it with Noodler´s Eel series. The writing
experience must be even better. Good writing!

I have a thing for small..., February 19, 2013
I have a thing for small pens that perform well and love this little pen. I did
not buy it from here but should have since they have the fine nib, which must be
great and toward XF, since my medium writes reasonably fine. Such a cutie, yet
also sort of vintage looking due to the lettering on it, the NY address, and the
removable clip. It takes a regular short cartridge, which you can refill from a
bottle if you have a syringe (now legal to buy in most places, I think; saves on
plastic waste if you refill).
The clip works well to clip the pen to a lapel, and the short size of the body
won't poke you. Makes a great pocket pen too, as many here have said. I have
seen these for sale for up to $50 in stores, so the price here is a decent one.
This pen was even reviewed in Pen World magazine years ago, and they usually
only review fancy expensive pens. So others have been charmed by its cuteness
and high function as well.
