Overall This pen has a nice weight to it and writes smoothly with very little pressure or effort. This is important to me as I have arthritis in my hands and am very picky about my writing implements as a result. I am extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend this pen. Love it! Love the weight and look. Writes very smoothly with very little effort. Well worth the money. What is your opinion of the quality of this item? I would definitely purchase this item again and highly recommend it to others.
