Good value small pen for everyday carry, but not perfect.
I have now had this pen for about a month, and it has been just ok. It does
exactly what it is designed to do, and it does that well. However, it isn’t
really anything special. The iridescent pearl white body looks nice enough, I
suppose, but it really has to catch the light to look extraordinary. Body feels
cheaper than my Platinum preppy, actually, which is a bit of a disappointment,
but that may be deceiving since the preppy caps are known for cracking.
Writing is also just ok. It writes wonderfully smoothly for an EF nib, but for
the first 2 weeks I couldn’t get it to write without skipping. Your mileage
may vary, but I recommend just buying a converter and inking it from the tip,
rather than using the included cartridge, because it seemed like there were air
bubbles in the feed. Now that it is sorted, I am pretty happy with it, but
can’t wait to get a vibrant turquoise ink in. Kaweco blue isn’t quite as
good as this pen deserves.
