I collect and restore fountain pens. I have pens from way back and love each and every one of them. Most are beautiful works of art as well as great writing instruments.
I can't recall why I bought this pen. Probably because I wanted something quick and easy to write entries in my Moleskine journal. First, let me explain why I did not give it five stars.
The pen feels somewhat odd when holding it. The clip is at the tips of your fingers. When you're used to writing with other pens, that's an odd, rather uncomfortable feeling. It's also a somewhat ugly pen to those of us who love the beauty of a classic pen. Of course, I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is just my personal opinion.
But all that said, this is a dependable, durable pen. I hadn't used it for several months. I tried several of my Parker 51 pens and some other pens and they didn't write. I picked up the Pilot and it started writing immediately and didn't skip one bit.
I also rather enjoy the retractable nib. Plus, the nib is quite nice. It's a smooth and quiet writer. The reviewer who said their pen squeaked must have gotten a lemon and should have asked for a replacement.
For those who want a dependable pen that will travel well and give great service, I highly recommend this pen. It's well made and moderately priced.
