Overall 4 out of 5. The clip moves around a bit, just not set in solidly. Threads are nice pitch for quick unscrewing. Pen is largest towards center of body, so feels like it wants to slide out of hand a bit. Took some getting used to. Metal is thick & as a result, pen is heavy. For me that's a plus. Body is short so doesn't rest against bottom of typical dress shirt pocket. Coupled with its weight, that makes the top of pocket sag. Very easy to use after getting used to its heft & the narrowing of body towards nib. I think it maybe a bit high-priced. What is your opinion of the quality of this item? See above.

Good heft to the pen makes it feel solid and lhat it will be long-lasting. Great design, it looks good. Metal threads in the cap as well will ensure smooth closer for a long time without stripping out. Sleek look and matte black makes for a great masculine look. Perfct for a young man's gift. Good grip, ease of cap removal, smooth writing. Pen seems worth its value. Some little details found on pens costing more. What is your opinion of the quality of this item? Great purchase!

It is very sturdy pen. Great ergonomics. 10 out of 10 Yes, totally. What is your opinion of the quality of this item? I just love it. Never having owned a Faber Castell, I did no know what to expect. But it performs better than pens costing twice as much.
