i got this pen in December 2O24 as a hannukah gift, and i was so incredibly grateful !! i'd fallen in love with the color as soon as i saw it released, and i had also been dreaming of more metal fountain pens. and wow, has it been one of my favorites !! i've primarily used this pen to journal with, as it's always soo smooth to write with, no matter the ink. it also shows most colors very well, even though it is a fine nib (but then again, it is a german fine LOL), which makes it incredibly reliable. the ink capacity of my converter is definitely enough for me, and i've never been afraid of running out of ink. it's definitely one of my favorite pens, and well worth the fifty dollar price tag in my opinion.
