I am relatively new to fountain pens and thus have mostly bought inexpensive pens. At $18, this is on the cheaper end of the ones I’ve purchased. Let me just say, this is the best fountain pen I’ve used to date, hands-down. It comes with 6 ink cartridges and a converter; I opted to fill the converter with ink (Pelikan 4001 in blue black) to try it out.
It has a nice weight without feeling heavy in the hand. The grip is smooth and comfortable for my grip style. I was most impressed by how quickly the ink flowed after filling the converter for the first time and how smoothly this pen writes. I have not experienced any skipping and it does not feel scratchy even on cheap copy paper. It has a decent feel un-posted but I prefer to post the cap and the cap posts securely, unlike many others that fly off in the course of writing. The leather gift box was a pleasant surprise; I expected it to be faux leather but it smells like actual leather.
Overall, my new favorite pen. Highly recommend.
