I hadn't tried this pen before purchasing it, but the fine folks at Fahrneys helped me select the right pen, a sailor 1911 MF nib. I usually prefer fine, but I was guided correctly to up my nib size to MF. Though not an overly wet writer, it writes smoothy. Plus, it always writes - no hard starts or skips. It is lightweight, even when posted - and I always post, because it's not a long pen. It has become my daily go-to. Great pen, great company. Merchant Response

Great flow with medium nib for smooth writing. Well worth the money.

What is your opinion of the quality of this item? This is my first high quality fountain pen, but I am stunned at the quality of the writing experience. Smooth solid flow with just the slightest pressure. Hasn't skipped yet. It has me excited about writing anything by hand.I may have a new addiction Classic and beautiful Took a bit to figure the filling. Poor instruction page. Excellent. Gold Japanese nib at this price. Great pen at a great price.

Excellent service. In spite of snow storms EVERYWHERE you got this out and delivered in record time
