What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Compact, ultra light, writes smoothly. Takes one international cartridge. Ink flows better with a converter.

Highlights
Quality
The quality is good and its a great investment for anyone
Four stars nonetheless because of the tremendous build quality and wonderfully smooth writing for such an exceptional price
Im now using a higher quality ink in the pen and it makes a huge difference
I have three of these and two are ok while the third one arrived with a scratchy and busted nib
Price
I feel its well worth its cost
Competitiveness
Are there some downsides yes but basing the pen against the competition this one stands above
The portability of this pen i keep it near a pocket rhodia notebook in a pocketable leather cover is terrific
Short capped pens lose their cap making them non pocketable by design
Tiny pen when capped opens into a fullsize if thin pen when posted

It lines like a 2¢ bic and dumps ink as quick as it breaks ink flow tension
