The silver pen has a tapered shape, rather pleasant to the eye. The rear body is non-slip mat unlike the glossy front section. The latter is quite slippery, which is not ideal for the fingers when writing. Personally, I would have found it more logical to reverse the two textures.
However, if I do not write for hours with this pen, the tip is very soft, with a medium line in a hard blue. I also appreciate having to turn out the shiny tip (easy and no risk of wear of the mechanism). To open the pen to change the ink, just turn in the opposite direction.
A beautiful quality acquisition so.
