Let me start by saying this pen *feels* expensive. The solid copper body has a satisfying heft (36g!) that screams premium, and the matte finish gives it a sleek, executive vibe. I’ve been using it for signing documents and journaling, and the weight makes every stroke feel intentional—like you’re drafting a historic treaty.

The Good: That iridium nib glides like butter on thick paper (notebook paper? Forget it—feathers like crazy). The included 10 cartridges lasted me weeks of daily use. The knurled grip is *chef’s kiss* for sweaty hands during long writing sessions. Plus, the gift box? Perfect for impressing your pretentious stationery-loving friend.

The Bad: Consistency is this pen’s Achilles’ heel. Some days it writes like a dream (ink flows like molten chocolate), other days it’s scratchier than a cat post. One user reported broken nibs—mine survived, but I baby it like vintage china. Also, that “ergonomic” balance? Great for signatures, less so for marathon novel-writing.

Pro Tip: If your nib arrives wonky (a common complaint), try flushing it with lukewarm water first. Mine improved after a soak. Bottled ink via the piston adapter works better than cartridges for consistent flow.

Final Verdict: At this price, it’s more ‘luxury aesthetic’ than ‘workhorse pen’. Buy it for the ✨vibes✨ and gift packaging, not if you demand Pilot-level reliability. 7/10—would romance again, but with tempered expectations.
