This is a very attractive pen, really beautiful. I wasn’t sure when I first unpacked it and saw its size – it’s a big, chunky pen – but its very comfortable to hold and write with. Nib required the usual minor tweaking to write the way I liked (I’m very picky, and just about all nibs require some tuning). The sizing seems to have been carefully designed – the thick body steps down to the threads, which then step down to the section. Neither the step down or the threads are sharp or uncomfortable to place my fingers.
The issue – the cap takes 7 (count ’em – 7) FULL turns to thread on. I guess the advantage is that the cap won’t unexpectedly unthread in your pocket. A minor inconvenience unless you will be in a meeting with the Chairman of the Board, constantly capping and uncapping your pen. Down 1 star for this.
Overall, really like the pen and glad I purchased it.
