I have been using this pen for a few months...
April 29, 2012 By caroleI have been using this pen for a few months now, mainly writing in my Moleskine watercolor journal to annotate my sketches. I love the pink color and compact size of the pen--it fits neatly in my small watercolor sketch kit. It writes beautifully and reliably in response to a light touch. Too much pressure and it feels somewhat scratchy unless the paper is extremely smooth. I'm generally writing on generously sized, somewhat textured watercolor paper with it. It is fine on that with a light touch...I get a nice consistent line and ink flow whether I am writing cursively or in block letters. Here is an example page from my journal: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/brindlestudio/7094902931/" title="19 APR 2012: Allium by CarolePivarnik, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7114/7094902931_74b0aba141.jpg" width="500" height="310" alt="19 APR 2012: Allium"></a> Recently, I refilled a cartridge with Noodler's Lexington Gray (using a syringe). It took some effort to flush out the original non-waterproof ink but once the Lex Gray started flowing through I finally had reasonably waterproof ink in my pen. That allows me to sketch in watercolor as usual and not worry that writing already in place may smear. And frankly, I feel the pen writes more smoothly with the Lex Gray than it does with its "native" cartridge ink. The pen has stood up fairly well to my not-so-careful handling and frequent exposure to water, but it is worth noting that the words "Ohto Tasche" which are silkscreened onto the cap have partially flaked off. I'm not fussed about it (and didn't take any stars off) because my concern is mainly how well the pen writes and serves as a daily journaling tool. In that capacity it is great. Of course, if the pen were handled more carefully than I do mine, the paint flaking off might not be an issue. If this pen were available with a medium nib, I would certainly buy it.

August 2, 2011 By dre...I read the reviews but was attracted to the design so decided to take a chance. I love it! I had no problem getting ink to flow. The nib functions properly and it writes very smoothly. I love the size-- I have small hands and enjoy a slimline pen. The pink is almost lavender-- lovely!

Like other reviewers, I couldn't get this to...
August 2, 2010 By gddysunshineLike other reviewers, I couldn't get this to work properly either, sadly :-( It kept skipping, and I couldn't get it to produce a smooth line. I thought at fisrst it was the unusual ink color - red - but I dismissed that because I've put the same ink in many pens since and it's been just fine, and then I loaded this with some more commonplace ink and it still wouldn't play nice ;) It's a real pity because it is really cute, the design is really cleaver - a full size pen in the hand, but in your pocket it's tiny - and the price is absolutely perfect.

April 6, 2010 By ins.wupt07It is surely a nice looking pen, good butter smooth nip. It appears to be about medium size nip; light weight, compact size, and good built quality. I guess I'm just one of those unlucky one... occasional overflow or not enough. Takes a little while for ink to flow when I stop using for about day or two. Ink flow issues are worse with OHTO ink; better with Sailor gentle ink series so far.

September 25, 2009 By catbuddhaI love this little fountain pen. It writes smoothly, doesn't skip, is easy to carry around in a pocket and has a wonderfully thin line. I have plenty of other fountain pens that were a lot more expensive but for now, this is my favorite! Would recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this pen a little over a month...
June 24, 2009 By fumayakiI purchased this pen a little over a month ago, and it still works great. Despite being a Japanese pen, the nib seems to be German, so it writes a bit thicker then most other Japanese fountain pens. It writes as well as some of my other more expensive pens, notably my Sailors (Which I find strange that JetPens doesn't sell) and since most Sailors cost like hell you cant go wrong with a high quality $15 pen. I have already purchased a couple for my friends (who have never used fountain pens) and I intend to buy more in the future.

I bought this pen to fit in my day planner...
September 4, 2007 By jennebaileyI bought this pen to fit in my day planner which is 4.75 inches tall. This pen fits great being only about 4 inches tall and I believe it would fit most standard pen loops in any planner. The pen writes really smoothly. I love how the cap makes it the size of a regular pen so it is easier to write with. It smooths the ink on in a thin enough layer that I don't have to wait for it to dry before closing my planner and so far it has not leaked in it's lid even though it is in my purse and carted around. The attractive and functional design of this pen as well as the reasonable price makes it a very good buy. I am very happy with it.

April 24, 2007 By ms.raphael.navesThis is the first fountain pen I have ever purchased and not only is it beautiful, it writes like a dream. I would definitely give this as a gift. Great quality at a very affordable price!

I bought this for my wife for her birthday....
May 18, 2006 By jerel2uI bought this for my wife for her birthday. The pen is defective, whether by design or by accident I'm not sure. You can write for a bit, and then suddenly it stops writing. I am going to return it for exchange. I will post an update when I've had a chance to try the new one. It also does not write very smoothly, for a fountain pen. I've been very impressed by the Pilot Varsity. It writes smooth and has a lot of ink in it, which is good because it's disposable. I wanted something a little nicer for my wife. We'll see if this fills the bill.
