Phenomenal build quality!

Everything about this pen feels well made and well put together. It has nice heft without being heavy, the capping noise sounds crisp, and the nibs are incredibly smooth.
The broad nib is slightly stublike and the medium is close to a Japanese medium. If you buy an aftermarket housing from Flexible Nib Factory (for Bock 380 housing) you can also replace the nibs with nibs from Pelikan M1000s, Montblanc 149s, and Sailor King of Pens.
If I had to say something negative, it's that the pen is ever-so-slightly backweighted. It doesn't bother me but between that and the size of the pen, it does mean that while writing you need to grasp it a little bit instead of just let it sit in your hand.
