Got my new Verve Platinum

[albnot1]

What a wonderfull pen it is! Although it is quite metal-made pen I find it quite comfortable and light. It is also a bit shorter I expected but when capped it is ideal. The platinum surface is quite nice, it does not show fingerprints and looks like it will tolerate a heavy usage. Capping is secure, on both ends. The nib is M on my pen and it is really smooth, I heard it is made by Namiki.

It is maybe even too nice for a pen as people seem to notice it during business meetings etc.

I am now using Montblanc black ink in it (converter) but I am thinking about purchasing some purple ink as some accents on the pen are that colour.http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6559/3137/320/100_0061.jpg

Way to go with a fine choice of pen. I'm not sure about the security of capping when writing with it: the one at the shop where I tried one kept falling off. Still, if it works for you, have fun!

I admit that in order to cap securely, you must firmly push the cap in place. Otherwise it will be loose. When you know it it's not a big deal. The capping with this pen is quite important issue as the pen itself is so short that it really needs to be capped.

Beautiful Pen!

Congrats on the Verve! I absolutely adore mine. I have found I really have to pay attention to inks for this pen, as mine is an very wet writer. Inks that have a tendency to feather, in combination with this nib, are awful on crappy paper -- but a dream on good paper! It's one of the few pens I have with a basic M nib and it produces a very consistent line. -- Tanzanite looks good coming out of this pen!

I agree about its length; very short indeed. It's also quite a light pen for its looks.

Congrats on the great pen! Enjoy it, and once you've put it through the ringer, tell us all about it (another review never hurts).
