well, this pen is kinda complicated to me.

First, it is ergonomically well made for the hand. using the same design as a parker urban, but yet lighter, it does not wear the hand down when writing for long.

Secondly, it employs a wick. That disappoints me a little thought. But just a little, as the wick can be removed for easy cleaning. same goes for the nib which can be removed easily. since the wick and nib can be removed, they can be adjusted to allow wetter or drier ink flow by adjusting the distance of the wick, which is like a fountain pen. you can also make the nib finer or flexible, like a fountain pen. on top of that, that orange ink used feathers, and after much thought, i reckon this wick should stop the feathering. and it did. the pen writes well with no feathering. the theory is sound.

the other plus point of a wick is that there will no leakages due to change in pressure, i.e. in a flight. So, although i am reluctant to consider it as a full fledge FP in theory, but it seems to be one in practice.

as a side note, the ink fits the pen!
