My first ever pen with pink in it! But the brown specks ground the pink beautifully, and makes it more 'earthy', and I love it! I bought it with the CSI elastic fine nib, and it writes like a dream! Such beautiful lines! The grip section is a tiny bit wider than say an Esterbrook Estie, so it takes a bit of getting used to for me. But it is still very comfortable to write with.
