I really like this pen, especially the understated elegance of its matte black finish. It performs flawlessly, and the nib can be easily swapped in the future if I ever want to change it.
Esterbrook Raven is the only matte pen that I own, and it makes a huge impression on everyone who sees it, especially with the black nib. It is really nice to the touch, and as every Estie it is a great writer.
