Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It writes very well. Writes very smoothly, no scratching. Only minor quibble is that it writes more like a medium than a fine.

Very classy looking. A solid performer. The gold plated trim is eye catching in a classic fashion.

It’s not too bulky or heavy but has a nice weight to it. The steel nib is a little stiff so not a lot of line variation, but is pretty smooth. I'm in my mid 80's with arthritis in both hands so the nib swap was a bit difficult.

For the price this one is a no brainer. It beats the pants off any other similarly priced pens.

The instructions are in chinese but there are tutorials available online.



Cons

Ink is seen leaking out of the cracks. Pencil came broken. I was hopeful about this pen after reading the other reviews.

We commonly associate the cost of goods with the quality of goods when this is not always the case

Packaging/appearance


Wrote great right out of the box


The vacuum filling system worked splendidly right out of the box

Competitiveness


Much better than many of the wellknown luxury fountain pens i have purchased that cost thousands of dollars


Plastic body seems to be lower grade than namebrand demonstrator pens but not in a bad way

    Dont assume it is scratchy until you try it on good paper


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is a vac filler with an uncanny resemblance to a very well regarded japanese pen that costs 10 times as much


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The body and filling mechanism are so similar that you wonder if the same tooling was used

    I flushed it with water emptied it and inked it with iroshizuku tsukushi
