Received mine this morning here in Canuckville, Canada. I opted for the 0.9mm Italic Nib.
The pen feels somewhat flimsy in the hand and you can occasionally hear the plastic creaking as you write around (which was somewhat disappointing). Otherwise, the styling is fantastic.
Their piston refilling thing is "meh" and I don't think you can take the pen apart to replace it with something more sensible.
Nib is decent albeit scratchy. At the beginning, I had some trouble consistently putting ink on the paper, but it seems to have loosened up a bit over time & I've gotten used to it.
All in all, would not recommend as a first step into the world of fountain pens. It is however a nice addition to an existing collection & it looks great.
RovahYou just about hit it spot on. It's a decent pen, but writing with it is a bit weird and hard to get used to. I don't mind the piston refilling though.
