What is your opinion of the quality of this item? I have bought Pilot/Namiki fountain pens for a number of years but this pen caught my eye. The Taranis Ferrari has a metal barrel which gives it a nice weight in my hand. I purchased the fine nib which is VERY smooth and a bit closer to a medium than a fine.The pen has a hooded nib. The red pen is a rich true red. Merchant Response Nice weight, metal barrel, fits well in my hand. Merchant Response Super pen, writes well. I may order this is a medium nib as well. Merchant Response YES. Merchant Response Great pen. I am using Sheaffer cartridges and there is a nice selection of ink. You can also piston fill the pen. Merchant Response
