What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The pen is a beautiful shimmery white. A wonderful retractable pen for a descent cost. I kind of wish the knib was a bit smoother, but other than that it's perfect.
Overall the nib writes extremely smoothly. It writes so smoothly, and is so convenient, that i scarcely want to use my other fountain pens, even my old favorites.
The decimo is slimmer and lighter but uses the same nib unit so it writes just as nicely. The clip placement at the nib end of the barrel is a little hard to get used to. It is slightly slimmer than the v.
Cons
My f-nib though is not a good writer. Its ink flow is so dry that it continues to skip when writing.
Highlights
Quality
Very pleased with the color of the barrel and the 18k nib.
Shipped from japan, took 3 weeks to arrive, but i'm extremely happy with it.
I ended up going with the decimo because it is smaller, and i have smaller hands.
Units, for the price of a nib unit alone, i tend to opt for the full monty.
Price
My experience purchasing this through amazon was good as well as the price!
Packaging/appearance
Smooth and consistent right out of the box.

The pen does not come with a converter just an ink cartridge and cartridge cap

I purchased a separate converter so i can’t speak on the included cartridge

Either my pen was used and resold or they test their pens first because the plastic package it was in was open and there was blue residue in the feed which you can see in one of the photos

I notice the clip more on the decimo when writing which i’m guessing is because the barrel is thinner

Held off on getting the pilot vanishing point for some time as i was not sure i would like the size

Anything finer would have been too fine for me unless it were to be used for sketching
