One has to be something affine around so go up a pen already. But you will not regret it. Unfortunately not the same version as the original version ... meantime, the thread is made of plastic and therefore, by the severity of the pin, the weak point in a hard fall or frequent change mine. Built mien writes exceptionally good performance, the Stifft roll almost by itself over the paper. The weight is not for everyone, but that's not the whole pen. But a fan like just that! Great pin!
