There is something wrong with the gaah smiley

[Riayain]

Haha, I know that feeling!

 

Why don't you look at other pens for a few days and see if that changes your mind? If you give yourself time to cool off, you might feel differently about it. And if you don't, that's when you know you should buy it.

[Chiyoko]

Right, thanks for the advice. The thing is, it's been a month since I fell in love with this pen yet I'm still not sure. I don't know what to do

I own the blue-midnight version, and it is actually one of the least favourite in my collection. It is very beautiful - that's in its favor, but I found the nib to be under performing - my medium nib was scratchy at times, I also experienced some ink flow issues, and the concept of the oversized cap was a challenge to me - I love big pens (and the Covenant is a very big pen, especially posted), but the fact that the cap is almost the size of the body makes it unsuitable, in my experience, for a quick jot: it is a pen meant to be used over a long period of time, since capping and uncapping it is a project.

 

Add that to the fact that I was underwhelmed with the material - the resin feels a bit too plasticy for my taste - and I would try and find other options in that price range.

I guess this should help you decide, haha!

 

But really, if you want to at least try it and you're not around any B&M stores, I suggest getting it from a seller that'll allow you to return it if it doesn't turn out to your liking. A month's a long, but not super long, time to stay interested in one pen.

[Chiyoko]

Yeah. I just find this pen interesting. But if I buy it, I might be sorry. I might also be sorry if I don't, though.

[ay1976]

From my experience, when I'm interested in a pen for a month - I end up buying it, eventually. And while $100 is not super cheap, you could have fallen in love with something less acceible, like me with the Montblanc George Bernard Show LE pen...

 

So, go ahead and but one!

 

BTW - if you have a pen of equivalent value you would consider trading - PM me, and we can consider a trade-off. One man's junk is another's gold they say...

[Namo]

Sleep on it.

[Chiyoko]

I've already slept on it. Not helping

[Chiyoko]

Thanks for the advice, ay1976.

Hello,

Sorry to bump an old thread, but did you buy it at the end and if yes, what are your thoughts on it?

I'm considering it, but the reviews are scarce and somewhat mixed.

Thanks.
