I was really excited for this pen at first. However, after loading it up with Platinum Carbon Black fountain pen ink, I found that ink was spilling all over the interior of the pen (a nightmare having black ink stains all over the interior of a demonstrator). There is some sort of flaw in the spot where the converter meets the nib unit, which causes a pressurized hiss of ink to froth out from the seams when you empty the converter by twisting. A gasket snapped in half when I opened the pen up, something that's never happened to me before--a sign, I suspect, of low build quality.

Along with these issues, the feed that the nib rests on is extremely thick (presumably to keep up with the demands of a G Nib). This affects the angle from which you write/draw, as if you hold the pen at an acute angle, the feed can drag across the paper and mark up the page with ink.

Disappointed with this product. I unfortunately did not realize the issues with this pen until after the return policy's limits. IF the build quality didn't work, I'd say this is a 3.5 or 4 star pen for the utility of being able to fit a g nib, but with the build quality issues I would not recommend it to anyone unless mine is simply a dud.

great bounce in the nib, lightweight, easy to use. Really like this pen.

Great craftsmanship! Beautiful pen with coated flexible G nib. I have not use it yet. Will be back with an update as soon as I test it.

Great product. Thanks

I have tried heat setting the nib/ ebonite feed twice now and still it has frequent "railroading". Have tried using the pen enough now that it should be broken in, but not quite there yet. Other pens that i receved at this same time are working fine after only 1 time of heat setting the nib/feed. I can only give this pen 3 stars. It shows promise, but so fsr is very frustrating...
