Lovely pen, writes beautifully with no problems. Feels good in the hand. I've come to realize I do not like metal grips but a strip of complimentary washi tape has solved that problem for me. No regrets on the purchase.

I got the orange and turquoise models with the Omniflex nib on both of them. The glossy pearlized finish of the pen bodies is absolutely stunning. The pen is a good size and pretty hefty in weight... feels like a substantial pen for only $24 (sale and coupon applied)! I'm usually a cap-poster, but this pen gets too much junk in its trunk when posted. So the cap will stay on the desk. The snap cap is so convenient, but it tends to pull some of the ink off the feed if it is primed to adequately supply the Omniflex nib.

I am probably one of the few who actually enjoy the Omniflex nib. I know its strength and weaknesses and have figured out that you need to prime the converter and also flip and press on the nib once in a while to get the ink flowing again. Modern flex is finicky like that. I've pretty much tried everything out there and find the Omniflex one of the better choices.

I don't love the shiny metal grip section, but I knew it was like that going in. The converter is a little smaller in ink volume than I'd prefer, especially when using an ink hog like the Omniflex nib. Also it takes like a dozen turns to unscrew the body which feels excessive. None of these issues are dealbreakers for me and I think I will enjoy both of these pens in my rotation.
