Over the time of collecting fountain pens I liked the big ones more and more. With large hands it is more comfortable and they get a certain tool character (Still waiting for a Makita Fountain Pen ;-) .
Unfortunalty the most of the big pens, like the Emporer Namiki, the Mammoth or Leonardo Tamburine do not really translate their size into weight. The Eversharp Decoband is an exception. The body has real "gravitas", there ist metal in there which makes it extremely comfortable. Ok, for my personal taste,
The nib is also very nice, has a great flow and I had no starting problems so far. As always I recommend the smooth & tune servoce Appelboom is offering! The package you receive then - just great!
I am a big fan of Art Deco aesthetic, so I couldn't miss this gorgeous pen!
The medium nib was tuned very wet and wrote more like a broad.
What did I like about this pen?
+ Fantastic retro insipred design, ebonite body
+ #8 gold nib
+ Super generous flow provided by ebonite feed
+ The pen is fat and hefty, but surprisingly comfortable even for longer writing
What I didn't like
- The nib is a bit overpolished and sometimes hard starts, as is common with many broader nibs
- Engraving on the nib is a bit askew
- Piston mechanism has a capacity of only 1.2 ml (but if you manage to let all the air out of the barrel, you can squeeze up to 1.8 ml)
