Morning Glory Mach II Liquid Ink Pen - 0.4 mm - Black

Picked this pen up on a whim to get free shipping, turns out it's better than a V5, mainly for two reasons. One, it is way cheap for what you get, and, two, the point is finer than a V5. It's a perfect addition to a pen lovers collection.

This pen looks and feels like a normal, capped V5, so the experience is nearly the same, grip-wise.

So far, this pen shows no signs of slowing down. I've been writing (nearly) continuously with it the past few days and it shows zero sign of ink usage.

This pen gives my V5 a run for it's money. Partly because it's cheaper, has a finer point, and lasts a lot longer. The black is also a rich, deep shade that I love. I don't like blacks that look too gray. It does get finnicky on certain papers, but that should be expected as you get to tips below 0.5mm (at least with my writing).

Fourth time I am buying a batch of these!!!.... My daughter gets thru one of these a month...& my son about one evry 5 weeks...so if you want a fine writer that has lotsss of ink and is a pleasure to write with you cant fail with these workhorses of a pen!

I am thrilled that I managed to grab mine before it sold out! I know it will be back, but I feel like I've won some prize because of it. This is the best black liquid pen that I have ever written with - given my inexperience, that may not be saying much, but all the same I am very picky with liquid ink pens. This is a very reasonable price, and all I must say is that I wish I had bought more.

Good pen, though I don't think 0.4 is thin enough, as the inks sort of expands across the page, as with any rollerball. I think not having a grip is good, and gives the pen a cleaner look. The ink is a rich black, and therefore makes the pen very good for the cheap price.
