  Although I've read that..., September 18, 2011

By JetPens

Although I've read that this pen has too fine a nib for writing one's signature, I found the ‘fine’ nib ultimately to be too broad, and swapped it out for an ‘extra fine’ nib. (Note that this pen takes the same nibs as the Safari, &c.) I think that JetPens ought to offer this pen with that EF nib.

Once I'd effected the nib replacement, I had a pen with which I was and remain quite pleased; it has become my ‘everyday’ pen, at least for the time being. But I do sometimes find that I the flow of ink does not keep pace with my writing; hence I am giving this pen four stars instead of five. (I have been using Lamy ink; perhaps I shall experiment with some other brand.)

This is not a showy pen, which was part of its attraction for me. Capped, the pen has very similar over-all dimensions to a Sanford Uniball Micro, and might be mistaken for such. (It is, however, a heavier pen, and presumably a more durable one.)

The box in which my pen came was different from that shown here. It wasn't a worse box; possibly it is a better box; it is certainly a very nice box. But don't have your heart set on the box shown.

By centennial

Bought this because I didn't want a childish Safari, and WOW is it good. Minimal, discreet, and fully functional. I used it with a F, EF, and now I'm addicted to the 1.1mm nib for daily writing. I'm a left handed overwriter too.
