If I could award 10 stars, I would do it.
Dark blue soft surface, soft, slightly fluted grip, which is very good in the hand (if you like it more difficult, the cap attached to the back ...)
Clean ink flow, (I have not tested coated, why) immediately dry on plain paper, strong color and absolutely beautiful writing sensation !!! The slides across the paper and support long letter without pain in the fingers. I have our entire office convinced all write only that! That's saying something.
I buy from now on again and again!
