Really like the writing experience of these pens, really smooth and no ink blotches at all, great feeling and weight. Highly recommend

I was looking for a smooth writing pen to use for upcoming book signings. Ive found that having something comfortable really is beneficial when you're going to be writing for an extended period of time. I'm also a bit heavy-handed, which makes finding the right pen a bit challenging. While many people use fine point sharpies, I wanted to try something a bit more refined. The look of the pen is quite stylish and having a sturdy case in which to store it is a definite plus. As a writer, I am someone who spends most of the time typing on a computer, so I'm a bit out of the loop on good writing apparatus. This was reasonably priced and looked like a comfortable fit for my somewhat larger fingers. There was a bit of a learning curve with the ink insertion, but I'm happy to report the pen has a smooth feel and makes an elegant mark on the page. After extended use, it doesn't cause cramping that is sometimes experienced with different styles of pens. I'm not well-versed in other uses for fine pens these days, but for what I needed, this will work just fine. I like that some of the old traditions are still in use.

I purchased this as a gift my brother who is a financial planner and like nice pens for client meetings. The pen in hand is even nicer than it looks in the pics. I actually ordered 1 for myself as well after testing how the pen writes.

The pen arrived in pristine condition, and I was shocked when I took it out of the packaging. I purchased the Oak, and the color was rich. This doesn't come with an ink insert, which is both a positive and a negative. This meant I was able to choose the ink I wanted to use. The metal tip was strong and unbending, and I was able to write for as long as I wanted with whatever pressure I wanted to use. I have found the pen especially useful for taking notes in classes it allows me to write in a flowing script without having to stop and shake it and the nice case that it comes with means this pen is never at risk for being lost in the contents of my bag. Another thing I liked about this pen was that it was easy to grip. It is the perfect size. I've appreciated using it to sign my name on checks and at the end of letters, too. It is a very professional looking pen that lives up to its beautiful image. Useful and good-looking. This pen has a very detailed body, the grooves in the wood are visible and there is lovely carving on the metal nib of the pen as well. I highly recommend giving this a try.
