Review Title: A major step

The label 'Swiss Made' is on the money here as the tolerances and build quality excellent. The pen's silhouette is also distinctive yet timeless. It writes exceptionally smooth, buttery-smooth in fact. It is one of the best nibs I've used, and highly recommend for anyone looking for a pen that glides on paper. I'd only wish the 18 karat nib were slightly larger.
However there are a few drawbacks to the pen, particularly the weight and grip section. The pen weighs roughly 35 grams uncapped, and with a slightly narrow grip section it may not suit everyone, however for me it was more of step outside of my comfort zone, which made the whole experience even more memorable. With that being said it is an exceptional fountain pen but it may not be for everyone. It is for me, that much I can say.
Lastly the brass and lacquering are eye catching, and for me one of the main highlights of this model when compared to others for the same price. Might consider buying another one.
