 wonderful pen! July 5, 2010
Stephen B. Hudak (northern virginia)
I LOVE this pen! It has just a bit of "heft" to give nice balance. It wrties smooth. I have bought another one as well as some darker ink!
Very nice pen, well worth the purchase! June 4, 2010

First off, I'm going to say I'm no fountain pen expert. All of the ink-using writing instruments I've used for calligraphy have been traditional quills (yes, I mean the goosefeather ones) and quill-style pens. So buying a fountain pen was going to be a bit of an adventure for me.
First off, I don't know if people can see it in the pictures (my computer screen is quite dark), but this pen has a spiral design etched into the barrel. It's quite a lovely pen, the gold-colored trim really does well against the pearly-white, and the etching on the nib is lovely. It's a bit heavy, but I actually like that a lot- it's easier to control and it just feels very nice in my fingers.
To address the issue that the other reviewers seem to have experienced- I have had this pen for a few days now and have written a substantial amount, and only once have had to prime the pen after I put it down on its side for 8 hours.
In short:
Pros:
-Beautiful, streamlined design
-Nice weight
-Writes beautifully- I've received many compliments on what I'm able to produce with it
-Efficient with ink
Cons:
-Occasionally have to prime it. But quite honestly, I wasn't expecting any different, and it's not really a problem or annoyance for me.
Do note that this pen also comes with a bottle of ink. However, the included ink has a very blue tone, so I bought this very nice black ink to use instead: Bulletproof BLACK EEL Noodlers Fountain Pen Ink
Smooth writing January 30, 2010

very nice pen, it's a great deal for how fancy it is :p haha, It writes very smoothly, but usually does not start writing right away, you may need to scribble a little before you start writing, but once you start goin' from there it's smooth sailing, It is also a pretty heavy pen, some people think it is too heavy, but, I like heavy pens i find them more controllable or something, if that is the word im trying yo use.. ;p but overall it is a good pen and I would recommend it.

 Beautiful Fountain Pen April 27, 2009

This pen is a beautiful pen. It is heavy enough to feel "right" in my hand. My only problem with it is, that I must start the ink flowing each and every time I start to write something. I much prefer to be able to start writing without priming the pen.
