This pen writes beautifully, the line is crisply drawn on the page making it very readable and attractive.The ink flows so well that you can hold it gently and still have control. I wrote a three page letter and myhand didn't hurt the least bit! I was writing it outside on my porch in 30 degree weather and the ink flowedas well on the third page as the first. I would recommend this pen to anyone-but they'll have to buy theirown, I'm not lending these pens to anyone!!
