Have bought the Pelican for my son as a gift, and of course even tried. Visually very beautiful and rather lightweight. The mine is black and writes excellent without scratching, so glides across the paper. Did it with a blue swapped wide and is then again soft. Overall, the pen is great in the hand and has a fatigue-free writing pleasure. But now to the point that annoyed me massively: The pen came in a cheap gray 1x1cm large cardboard box and packed it in allerbilligstes plastic - like advertising pens - thus an absolute horror to give away! Therefore, I draw a star off because of a coolie, which costs about 100 euros which is an absolute no go!
