Pilot Cavalier Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Red Body

I own several fountain pens but this is the pen of choice for everyday work. It never fails to work every time I pull it out. Lays down a smooth line and never skips. When you post it, you hear a satisfying click which means the cap isn't going to fall off. Most pens rely on friction to keep the cap on the body. I purchased the converter which fit perfectly and does not leak. Not so with other pens. The only drawback is it goes through ink pretty fast but I'd rather have that than a pen that skips or won't start at all. I would like to see this in a medium nib since I work in maintenance and oftentimes find myself writing or doodling on oily paper. This is the ONLY time the pen does not perform. Other than that I couldn't be happier with it.

This is a gorgeous pen and writes just as well (with a cartridge). I haven't tried this pen with the converter yet. I don't normally purchase pens that are thin and with fine nibs, but this pen is certainly the exception. The pen is light weight, but well balanced- no hand fatigue yet. I am considering purchasing the dark blue Cavalier in the future.

I adore this pen. Great for everyday writing. I did a full review with pictures here: http://simplicityembellished.com/review-pilot-cavalier-fountain-pen/

Great Fountain Pen. Thin Barrel, for a fountain pen. Nice Red Color. Solid, well made. The Cap click on when closed, AND with the cap is posted when in use. So, it stays there.

Used as my everyday pen. Depending on paper and ink, the writing/lines can be thick a bit.. but that's not the pens' fault, even then, lines are still thin and nice.

The nib can be forced upon to get much thicker lines if needed, but I prefer fine lines, so this pens is quite good.

I've used it with the pilot black cartridge and Diamine Syrah ink with a CON-20 converter. It works well either way.

Of all the fountain pens I own (and I own many under the $50 dollar mark), this is the *one* that lives in my pocket, every day. I use it at work, for notes, grocery lists, everything. It has never leaked, and the nib puts down a fine, very smooth flowing line. I would recommend this pen to anyone who wants a daily use pen that is a joy to use.
