This pen is made to perfection. My fine nib writes as I would expect. Not excessively wide as some other German pens.

Writing with this pen and its wooden body gives you the feeling of writing with a pencil. Not surprising, as GvFC is a pencil maker. The nib is springy, and interacts with your hand. Ink flow is moderate - not gushing, not dry. Smooth nib with slight feedback - like a pencil. It is comfortable to write with for hours at a stretch. The cap doesn’t let the ink dry out. I left ink in mine for 3 weeks unused, and it still writes instantly.

For those who complain that there’s no piston filling at this price, just realize that you don’t want to put a rare and precious wood into your ink bottle!

I love these pens so much that I have another one with the Grenadilla wood.

After reading reviews about the pen's weight I was a bit worried but with the cap off I find the pen not too heavy. It is pretty thin, but works well with my petite hands. The design is superb as is the packaging.

Appelboom's service is again excellent

Graf Von Faber-Castell's nibs never disappoint. The pernambuco wood is lovely and the pen has a nice weight to it despite it's slim profile. The understated elegance of the classic collection design paired with an exquisite writing experience makes this a pen I am very happy to have in my collection.
