I bought the "Black with Gold" option with the Fine nib. It weighs about 27 grams with the cap and 13 grams uncapped or unposted. (As a comparison, my Kaweco AL Sport pen weighs 23 and 14 grams respectively.) It is made of aluminium that is electroplated and covered with some protective coating. It looks gorgeous. At first it was too slippery in my hand, but over a number of days it started to feel alright. It is not yet as comfortable in the hand as my 30 years old, like new Harley-Davidson -- I had two of them and this one I had not used until about a month ago.My previous favorite pens were the above mentioned Harley-Davidson and an equally old Feraud. Both have a medium (or a little wider) nib and slide extremely smoothly on paper. When I want thinner, more precise lines, I turn the pens 180 degrees around and write with the back side of the nib. Both of these pens slide perfectly in this reverse mode. The Fine Schmidt nib of the Scriveiner writes a little thinner than the other two in the reverse mode, slides perfectly on paper and is a pleasure to write with. Even though I have absolutely no need for an even thinner line, I tried to write with the reversed nib, but it gets very scratchy.I find the length of the unposted Scriveiner (11.6 cm) perfect in my hand, just like the Harley-Davidson's 11.4 cm. Both take the 73 mm LONG standard WATERMAN INK CARTRIDGES -- this is a major advantage in my usage and this fact does not seem to be advertised, at least not clearly enough. Of course, one can use the widely available 38 mm standard cartridges in both and the Scriveiner comes with a very well engineered 'converter' included. Feraud and Kaweco are shorter (10 cm each) and they need to be posted for comfortable writing. (Capped, they are all about the same length.)Speaking of ink. I wanted to match the black Scriveiner with the Intense Black ink of Waterman and use the Serenity Blue ink of Waterman in my dark blue Harley-Davidson. Unfortunately, the black ink of Waterman does not flow well in the Fine feather/nib of my Scriveiner. Every now and then I have to press relatively harder on the paper to get the ink flowing again! On a hunch, I swapped the inks around and put the blue cartridge in the Scriveiner. Now it is faultless!!! The added benefit is that the black ink in Harley-Davidson leaves a slightly less wet line on the paper -- just the way I like it.

I discovered Scriveiner fountain pens by accident, while looking for a mechanical pencil to give as a gift. Since then, I have bought 2 Scriveiner fountain pens, the full sized black lacquer with gold trim pen, and now the pocket version of the same. For the price - one might expect a "student pen" or an entry level pen, but these pens are much higher quality than the price might indicate. The nib on these pens is very smooth and easy to write with. I can highly recommend these pens to anyone who appreciates a reliable quality pen.

I dont understand how we ever wanted to down grade to a roller pen after getting one of these. This literally gets me to write more delicatly and clearer.
