I bought this pen on a whim because I loved the British racing green version as well as the black and gold. For context, I own a Mont Blanc, several Parkers, an Easterbrook, and a variety of others. And these two Scriviener’s are hands-down, my favorite pens to write with. They’re unbelievably reliable, the ink flow is amazing, and I could not be more surprised and happy with my purchase. They are the pens I go to first when I open up my journal in the morning. Highly recommend!
