Pros & Cons
Pros
Also, the matte finish gives it a great feeling to hold. It feels solid in your hand and the weight is perfect for the smooth glide on paper.
I'm a collector of this brand of pens and it looks very nice. I like to keep a nice ballpoint around for times when a fountain pen is impractical. I have several lamy pens and they're great, but not as sophisticated in styling and don't feel as well m... Read More
This pen is feminine, elegant, and really a joy to write with. It's pretty comfortable to hold and to manipulate while writing. It writes so smoothly!

The minimal branding a white square denoting 34swiss made34 and a caran dache logo and the models 849 id resides stealthily under the clip all speaking further about the attention to detail devoted to this product
