almost perfect November 26, 2012
Reviewer: Tim from glebe, NSW Australia  
gorgeous nib on this pen. It has a very distinctive feel and gives a unique quality to your writing and drawings. The pen is very elegant too. Only criticism is that the nib tends to slip on smooth paper and has trouble getting going even mid sentence. This never happens with the Creapers. Also, the reservoir in the pen is very small and needs to be refilled often. I have run out in the field a couple of times .Ink flow is a little irregular.

love it!!! September 12, 2012
Reviewer: Christine Walker Bird from Belleville, ON Canada  
The pen arrived promptly, beautifully and securely wrapped. And inside...what a dream. I love the feel of my Namiki Falcon in my hand, and even more the smooth flow of the ink across all types of paper, even watercolour. It is my new favourite for sure.
Thank you!!

Hard to control August 11, 2011
Reviewer: Tgeorgo from Honolulu, HI United States  
My favorite nibs are my binder italics. I went for this one to try a flexible nib. I find it very hard to control. My handwriting is not the best and the flexible nib is too much for me to control. Its not exactly a noodle but the flexibility of the nib made it hard for me to make straight lines and fluid curves. I'll stick with the sharper edge of an italic nib. The pen fit and finish is great.

Dream Writer April 19, 2011
Reviewer: Tracy from NY United States  
This pen is simply a dream to write with. It glides across the paper, and as already mentioned, it is NOT a true flex, but a very soft writer. What this means is, that with very little pressure the pen is able to write smoothly. I didn't notice any real significance in line variation, but where the nib works wonderfully is when it comes to shading.

There was no skipping at all. I must mention that I make it a habit to soak all the nibs of new pens - this allows for any oil, ink or other substances to free itself allowing for better ink flow. I've only inked it with Sailor Jentle Grenade which works great in this pen.

The look of the pen is very understated - there is no bling or glitz. It has a very professional feel to it. Also as mentioned by a previous reviewer, it is a very, very light pen. It can feel a bit fragile if you are used to a more weightier fountain pen.  

This pen would make an excellent gift for a collector or executive.
