Overall The pen is of excellent quality--well made, beautiful materials. The nib is responsive and provides an even ink flow. It is good value for the price, What is your opinion of the quality of this item? I would like this pen very much if I were a right-handed writer. I am left-handed and as I use the pen the pressure of my hand on the pen causes the nib to retract and the screw-in attachment point to come loose. This pen was a disaster for me, although I think it is a high quality pen. I am curious to know if other left-handed writes have had the same experience.
