When I first used this pen in the US - I audibly said, "Wow - this is so smooth!". It's the same reaction I get whenever I encourage other people to try the pen. It has ruined other pens now: They feel like scratching a jagged blade across paper.

Writing with these pens are equal to eating a freshly made croissant.

These pens always write nicely and are smooth on the paper. They last a long while and feel comfortable in hand the whole time. The grips outlast the ink every time.
