Initial Impression / Design

 

Looks - classy but modern (in sandblasted palladium finish). Good fit and finish, everything feels nice and solid befitting it’s solid appearance. I almost used the word chunky but I think that’s unfair given the streamlined effect of the rounded ends / torpedo shape.

Writing

 

Medium nib but it writes more like a fine. No complaints here though as the fine line makes it more suitable for work. No line variation but the nib does feel like it has a bit of pleasant spring to it. Medium wetness in my opinion, not too wet but not too dry either. No skipping, always starts and tolerates being uncapped for a couple of minutes also. All writing with this pen so far done with Noodler’s Black BTW.

Filling

 

Cartridge converter – OK, it may not excite you but it gets the job done, it’s simple and it’s reliable. Can’t complain.

 

Overall

 

Excellent Pen. Some people may find it too weighty but it’s well balanced and doesn’t feel heavy when writing. Looks great, it’s drawn more than one comment for me at work and is a good dependable writer. Well worth a look.

Non-poster.

Another nice review. THANKS for all the hard work.

That's my baby!

 

Seriously, I have one in the same finish, with an extra-fine nib, and I adore it. And I agree with you that it's well balanced, for all its weight. It never strains my hand to write with it for hours.

Your pen makes a convincing candidate for my next pen purchase in the cigar/ hooded nib style catergory: a Carene for instance or, since the nib is so small, an Apogee.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
