Not so special

Overall
Fragile.
Like many Stipula pens, Beautiful, but easily damaged. I don't post my pens, but this one simply cannot be posted. Careful! when you replace cap on pen, easily overtightened and will crack section (didn't do this, but fear it as a possibility.) Overpriced...
Nice design, but poorly constructed.
Simple.
About an $8.00 pen.
What is your opinion of the quality of this item?
Unless you're a Stipula collector, you can find better deals.

Thought I would like it

I do like seeing the inner workings of this pen.
I have a medium nib and it it more like a fine one. It is scratchy on paper and ink does not flow well.
What is your opinion of the quality of this item?
I am disappointed overall with this pen. I will probably never buy another product from this manufacturer.

Easiest fountain pen I've ever used, right out of the box

Super!
Beautiful. The transparent ink reservoir works like a gas gauge on your car. I'll never again leave for a meeting and then - surprise! - run out of ink, because I can see how much ink I have at any time. My Stipula Splash is dark blue and filled with Fahrney's Midnight Blues Ever-Write ink at the moment, but it would be fun with a bright contrasting color, like red or fuchsia.
This is the easiest fountain pen I have ever had. I recommend it for a fountain pen beginner. I opened the box and looked at the very user-friendly instruction book just to make sure that filling the Splash really is as easy as it looks, but I would have done it right without looking. The ink flows perfectly. You may notice a slight scratching sound compared with some more expensive nibs, but that is a practically non-existent drawback. The nib really writes beautifully.
Excellent value. The distinguishing feature is ease of use.
What is your opinion of the quality of this item?
Spectacular, for yourself or to give to someone who wants to try a fountain pen.

Like this pen
By: Jerry Bright from Los Angeles, Ca USA

I haven't had any issues where the ink didn't flow. This is a huge positive in my book because I have a lot of fountain pens that cost a lot more that dry out quickly.
The pen is very easy to refill with ink.
What is your opinion of the quality of this item?
I think this pen is a great value for the price. I definitely recommend it.
