 By far the smoothest..., November 8, 2011By far the smoothest pen I've ever owned. I didn't use the blue cartridge inside
(I never write in blue, always in black), and with the ink I buy, it's just
incredible. Too smooth, even: I sliiiiiiiiiide on the paper, loosing my grip,
having to rediscover writing with more ample movements.
The golden touches are just lovely: this pen is truly out of time and out of
gender. I'm really happy to own it.

 This pen is just eh...., November 1, 2011This pen is just eh. My first experience w Kaweco - inherently it's not a BAD
pen, it's just NOT very GOOD. It's okay for the price and I like the German
pedigree. The writing experience leaves a lot to be desired. It's got a
scratchy nib (mine anyway) and bleeds like a mofo. As someone mentioned, the
ink kind of fades and sort of looks gray instead of a dark blue or black (Kaweco
cartridges). Plus it BLEEDS like a stuck pig on my Moleskine .... mind you this
is a M nib, so those interested should really go for a F or EF. All in all, its
pretty, and while posted is not horribly uncomfortable. It lives in my shirt
pocket because its small and unobtrusive while capped, which is a plus.
My verdict is a B-. Nice effort.

Great pen. I really liked..., October 3, 2011
Great pen. I really liked the writing experience as well as the ink flow. The 1
star off is for the price. After all, it is an everyday use pen. In my opinion
the price should reflect that.

I\'m a left-handed writer..., May 28, 2011
I\'m a left-handed writer with a \'hooked\' style. This was my first fountain
pen purchase. Let me tell you, this is THE and I mean THE BEST value for the $
in a fountain pen.

 I bought two of these..., April 1, 2011I bought two of these pens, and several ink packages. I am totally happy with
them, not problems writing, ever. The ink does not dry out. I can use it while
doing some notetaking - thus reading then writing, etc- and even if it is
uncapped for several minutes there is no problem. I have had other very
expensive fountain pens that NEITHER write as smoothly, have decent ink life,
don't skip OR "LEAK" where the nib meets the body, etc. I am now on the re stock
notification list for a third pen. I have always loved using a fountain pen but
being on the go a lot I found them to not be so reliable. The size is perfect
for me and I like the clip because it makes it easy to place somewhere
(backpack, purse, etc) and STAY PUT. This lovely, inexpensive, exceptional value
pen has exceeded my expectations!
