Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The pen writes beautifully, and looks sharp. It was supposed to be my everyday replacement for my Waterman Carene. However...
The arm that you can lift to clamp the pen to your clipboard/pocket/whatever is rather poorly constructed. Mine fell off within a week, but fortunately, Cross repaired it right away.
Because the cap really sticks onto the pen tightly (which is a good thing), whenever you take the cap off or put it back on, it jars a drop of ink out of the tip of the pen, which, if you're not careful, will fly out and get all over your pants and shirt. It's rather difficult to predict, too, so there's no trick as to how you open it to prevent this from happening. It also means that you'll be cleaning out your pen cap once a week.
Also, for some reason, I have yet to figure out how to fill the entirety of the reservoir. I usually get only about a third of the way full because it pulls in so much air.
This is a decent pen if you want to avoid spending the $300+ that you might be spending with other brands, but a little overpriced for the quality. If you're looking for a fountain pen, spend the extra $20-$50 and get something much, much better.
