Customer Reviews
Ordered an EF nib and the pen came with a doggy/cat picture but without a converter! Typical Chinese converters do not fit... the converter must be the Schmidt compatible international standard.
The body finish is pretty good and almost scratch immune! The threads are all anodized aluminum finish, though. The cap seal seems to be ok with the o-ring. But the sealing quality remains to be seen. The cap opens with 1.75 turns. Not too bad for a screw cap pen.
The nib/feed setting seems to be a bit dry (EF). So, pairing this pen with a dry ink may not be a good idea. The nib+feed unit seems to be the same as the Kaweco Sport's one. At least it didn't skip too much so far, written x10 pages of B5 pages on both Midori MD and Rhodia. But the inkflow felt like the pen is 'about' to be skipping all the time.
As the product description says, posting the cap isn't so good idea. The weight distribution seems to be optimized to 'non-posting' situation. But the pen itself isn't so long, even shorter than a posted Kaweco Sport. So, beware, if your hands are on the 'large' side.
Overall, the pen's body and section are quite pleasant to hold. But the lack of the standard converter in the package and dry nib was a bit of letdown, considering the price and the brand.
