Review Title: Feeling blue

The pen feels nicely shaped to the hand and the brass body gives it some satisfying weight. The pistachio lacquering quality is excellent, but perhaps the hue is a little bluer than I was expecting. The combination of the colour with gold trim conveys a Near / Middle East flavour.

I got this pen with a gold nib and it’s very good. The balance between smoothness and feedback is well judged with a little line variation possible. But I’m not sure that the steel nib is that far behind, although it’s a bit stiffer.

Overall, a pen that I look forward to using every time.
