I really, really liked this pen. Also: my dog did. Shame.

This is a great pen. I received it yesterday and took it straight to work today - 2.5 hours of copious note taking and not one skip or splat. Really, really happy with it - and it was extremely comfortable! I've got huge hands, and despite it's tiny size - it fit wonderfully (excellent grip area). The screw cap is nice, though a bit squeaky. PLEASE STOCK MORE PENS FROM KAWECO!

These are dependable pens that can take quite a bit. This is the only fountain pen that I will toss into my pants pocket and I carried one almost all summer. This is a great workhorse pen that is a comfort to write with.

Fantastic little pen, often overshadowed by the Lamy Safari. I actually prefer this pen to the Lamy because of the smoothness of the tip. Using international carts may be a turnoff for some but I actually prefer them because I can keep several in my pen bag ready to go for periods of sustained writing. Also, this pen is cheap enough to easily replace with little to no guilt. ^_^
Overall, absolutely bomber pen. Just keep in mind that the plastic likes fingerprints!

I've never owned a fountain pen before, but wow, I was surprised how smoothly this pen writes. This pen is compact, and when posted, is long enough to fit in my hands. It does feel a lot lighter than I would expect it to from the pictures—perhaps you could call it cheap-feeling, but I wouldn't go that far. I purchased this because I didn't want to throw away an otherwise good pen in the trash whenever the ink ran out, but I've found the cartridges to run out once a week. Granted, I bring this to work and back home, so this is the only pen I use to write.

While I'm glad there's a screw cap—no spills yet!—I'm a bit surprised to find out that, no fail, once the cartridge hits 10%, inks leaks all over the writing tip.

Overall, I like this pen a lot, but perhaps this pen is overhyped.
