I normally write with high-quality fountain pens, and I was completely blown away by the writing quality of this humble little ballpoint.I never used anything like this, and I've tried many, many pens in my lifetime.It writes exceptionally smooth. With, beautiful classic blue ink.The ink is very well-behaved, bleed or feather Very little.The 1.0 point gives a gorgeous, generous, thick juicy line, without turning the paper into a mess.What's as remarkable is the fact that it seems to last forever!I wish I could get this quality of writing and mileage out of the best of my fountain pens.To top all of this, it comes with a not too narrow, not too wide, rubber grip. Which is extremely comfortable and useful in controlling the pen and writing for prolonged periods of time.A feature so sadly missing and most of the pens out there - Cheap as well as expensive.It clicks in and out to, so if you want to throw one in your pocket or in your bag, you're fine.And even if you lose one, they are cheap enough so you don't feel too bad about it.In fact, or the price, you can keep the best pen out there in every single drawer in your house and office.I cannot recommend this pen Enough.
