I chose the beige/ creme coloured version, mostly because the black ones were sold out. But the colour looks good, very classy and stylish. And at least it brings some variation in my allmost totally black pen collection!
, and the cap is postable, so it shouldn't be an issue!
The nib is definitely the best feature of this pen. For a pen of this price, it writes very good! (Okay, it might not be a very cheap pen!) Mine has a M nib, but as you can see it writes more like a European F. Of course that is normal for Asian pens! It writes very smooth, and I never had issues with skipping, even though it writes a little dryer than most of my pens. I used it for quite a while as my everyday writer, which definitely means something!
For 50 USDollars/ 35 Euros. It's performance is definitely on par with the lamy safari or al-star, or a Kaweco classic sport, which are all in the same price range. But as always, it depends on your own preferences, as some people don't like the finer nibs, whereas I do!
Note: The ink I used in the written review is Sailor jentle blue-black.
This pen is on my wish list, although I prefer the clear version with the colors on the ends. I do like a fine nib, too, so it's good to know that the medium nib performs like a fine nib.
ReplyDeleteTo me it seems like a fine nib yes, but that's still a matter of preference!
