What is your opinion of the quality of this item? 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, 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.
