I really WANT to like...,
August 9, 2010
I really WANT to like this model. I love really fine points; as a professional
calligrapher, I find all kinds of strange uses for this kind of pen.
But I find the 0.18 somewhat difficult to use. First, it feels predictably
scratchy (I just wish someone could solve this obvious problem). Second, the ink
flow is far from steady--I've had no blotching, but it's decidedly moody about
stopping and starting. Third, the sharp point slices right through correction
tape and liquids. Honestly, it's more of a pen that you own because it exists,
hoping it'll prove useful someday. Like if you need to protect national security
by jotting down something on that handy grain of rice. Every CIA operative needs
one. ;-)
