I cannot give enough praise to this pen. It writes like an absolute dream. The pen doesn't leak at all, the weight is perfect, the ink doesn't get clogged when you don't use it for a while, and it's just a beautiful item, built to last. Even though it seems to use a lot of ink (I got the medium nib), it hasn't run out on me yet, and I've done a fair bit of writing with it. It's just wonderful. Best pen I've ever had. Definitely worth the extra money. The only problem with it (and it's not exactly a problem) is that it puts a LOT of ink on the paper, and bleeds through with cheap paper. But I got a special notebook with thick paper specifically for using this pen, and problem solved. Now I can experience the joy of using this pen as much as I want! In short, get this pen.
