What's to love? Smooth fine nib with a bit of feedback. Large ink capacity. Generous grip section. Large, yet lightweight. It's really an exceptional fountain pen for long writing sessions.

What's not to like? It might be my nib only, but the pen likes to be angled a certain way, and if the angle made between the paper and the tip of the nib widens or narrows beyond a certain range, no ink will be forthcoming and skipping is all you will get. My extra-fine Graf von Faber-Castell pernambuco fountain pen will write no matter how you hold it, but this may not be the norm for all pens.

Finally, Appelboom must be congratulated on their thoughtful packaging and efficient shipping. The pen arrived tastefully gift-wrapped, and it took barely 4 days for the order to reach me here in the US.

Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich einen Füller zweimal kaufe (mit verschiedener Federstärke), schlicht weil er aussergewöhnlich gut ist. Die M-Feder ist perfekt für edle Papiere, die etwas weniger Tinte aufsaugen.

This is to me the perfect pen. Not too big or too small. Flawless in every direction. The design is timeless. The gold nib is a fountain of joy. I plan to use it forever.
