Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have quite a few fountains pens, from my expensive Mont Blanc to my less expensive "Preppy" plastic model. Previously (believe it or not) the plastic-bodied Preppy has been my workhorse, with the smoothest flow and nib on any pen I've used. Not bad for a $10 pen. However, the plastic body breaks down fast, and the point is too broad.
I'd been reading about the Vanishing Point for quite a while, and I finally managed to pick this one up. All I can say is WOW. This is finest point I've ever written with. The lines are EXTREMELY thin, and the nib is pretty smooth. It's not as smooth as my Preppy (or my Rapidograph), but it's pretty smooth, and the feel of it is nice and substantial, like a good pen should be, without being too grossly heavy. I've used the cartridge (Pilot Namiki brand) and the convertor (with Noodler's Bulletproof Black) and both work equally well. I did about 9 pages of longhand with the convertor, though, and it sucked the convertor dry, so keep your ink handy if you write a lot.
The contours are also well-done, with the pocketclip having small depressions for your fingertips while holding it, and the guts are very well-built.
Extremely good value in this pen.
