I like the weight. That is the main reason for my purchase. I used a student's pencil for a moment and asked him where it was purchased.
As an artist, it can be challenging to find a quality product that performs reliably, as promised. This product has given me peace of mind. I don't have to worry about smearing or smudging ink. I no longer than to watch the edges blur as the ink dries out, flattens and changes color. Thank you. It isn't very often that consumers find great quality anymore.
Besides being a fountain pen "geek" I also gravitate toward mechanical pencils for everyday writing. These have, to me, just the right weight and feel for comfortable and smooth writing. The lead is just perfect. Not too hard to be brittle and yet not too soft so that it smudges and wears too quickly. Heck, I bought in two colors when I couldn't decide.
