Absolutely Beautiful and Impressive!

First, it comes in a protective, black leather, zippered pen case/sleeping bag. Very posh and serious. The pen looks almost incandescent, like a bolt of turquoise neon.
It writes like a champion, of course. The "metalness" of it is a dream - the sound it makes when twisted open is like a tiny, teensy-weensy sports car starting up.
I'm into vintage and ornate pens, but the first time Drew Brown showed this pen in a YouTube overview of Gravitas pens, I set my sights on it.
My wife loves it. My cat is jealous of it. I can't say enough about the amazing pen-ness of this affordable creation from Gravitas.
My ink of choice: Herbin's "Bleu Calanque," a teal ink which looks perfect when this pen works its magic.
If you enjoy springing the sight of a fine writing instrument on people who don't know about them, this is a pen to impress them with.
