Lauren: Just beginning my calligraphy journey and these pens were recommended- they are great to use. Enough flex to get a thicker downward stroke and draw a thinner line on the upward stroke. Much better than thicker pens.

Lucy: These pens are the best pens if you are a beginner modern calligrapher or even an expert. The smoothest, and easiest way to practice and write. Always last a very long time. I practiced everyday with my old one for almost 3 years and it still has ink. I purchased them again now because the tips were frayed. I used them on soft 34lb. Copy paper and on a grainy calligraphy paper which made them fray. Is best and last longer when using Rhodea paper. Is the best product and the price is reasonable. This is my second time buying it and won't change them for any thing else.

Candace: These are two of my work horses. The tips take a long time to wear down and when they do, they wear down in a way that doesn’t affect the quality of the lines. Thin enough to work with smaller sized sketchbooks and to draw real little drawings. I’ve used these for years and don’t plan on stopping.

J. Buist: Overall great pens but I'm not sure if they're worth the money.

WHY I BOUGHT THEM:
I hand write a lot of postcards as part of my job. In order to keep my job more bearable I decided to make writing addresses a little more fun by researching interesting pens that could also hold up on glossy-coated postcards as they travel in potentially rainy/snowy environments. I purchased a variety of pens with these two among them. I did not buy these pens to test them for any artistic purpose outside of handwriting/calligraphy. I mostly wanted something that enhances my personal handwriting, rather than mimicking a particular script or style.

OTHER PENS I TRIED:
These are mostly apples to oranges, I'm afraid... "Artistic" pens I tried include the Pigma Graphic 2, Platinum Calligraphy Fude, and the Kuretake #40. Normal pens I tried include Papermate PMOP (felt/nylon tip markers of various widths), Sharpie brush tip, Uni-Ball Vision, Papermate Gel 0.7, and various horrible ball-points.

PROS:
- great ink flow and coverage
- writes smoothly
- the black is nice and rich and opaque. You REALLY have to look to see where cross strokes make the ink a little bit...
