The piston filler mechanism is surprisingly smooth for the price point, and the pen is perfectly balanced when posted. I've been using it daily for a week and it hasn't skipped once, though I do wish it came with a converter instead of just the piston fill.

The ebonite body has a nice warmth to it that plastic pens just don't match, and the flex nib gives my handwriting real character. It took a little fiddling to get the ink flow just right, but once it settled, it's been a joy to write with all afternoon.

The piston filler mechanism is incredibly smooth, and the ebonite body gives it a nice, warm grip the moment you pick it up. I've been using it daily for a week and the classic nib delivers a bold, reliable line that makes my notes feel special. It's a solid workhorse with a vintage soul.
