The elegance and exquisity of the design makes it look so expensive in the eyes, just like a Montblanc. The weight of the pen is an absolute plus for me and the smooth flow of ink is remarkable, thanks to the extra fine nib. I have more expensive fountain pens but this Scriviener brand beats them all on all criterias. I am using it now with a Rohrer and Klinger ink and this pen makes me to write and write and write all day long. Thank you Scriveiner for this lovely pen!
