This pen dispenses ink evenly and is also weighted, so no need to bear down. This pen also looks great. Merchant Response

This pen is truly an example of craftsmanship. The blue color is stunning and a nice change from basic black while still remaining a very dressy and formal looking pen. The Schaefer cartridge writes very smooth. I let a friend try it and he remarked that it "made you feel like writing." Merchant Response

What is your opinion of the quality of this item? The pen is great, but the ballpoint refill is terrible. They need to offer a gel and liquid refill option.

What is your opinion of the quality of this item? The Valor exceeded my expectations, I purchased it from the "super sale" page because it was a good value and looked attractive, but WOW, the pictures do not do this pen justice at all! the mechanicals are all smooth as silk, the weight and feel are about perfect for me, a male with smaller hands. very straight forward, no surprises. If you are in the market for a beautiful daily writer, or a gift, you cannot go wrong with the Valor...It's a beautiful pen for the money! The Valor is a fine pen, and an amazing value on the super sale page.
