原文:Of my entire fountain pen collection (Pilot VP, Metro, Kaweco Sport, Monteverde Vesuvio, Lamy Safari, TWSBI Eco, Platinum 3776), this hands down is my favorite pen, except for possibly the 3776. Beginning with the look of the pen, it is a great balance of classy and restrained. In particular, the us
e of gold accents and the shape of the clip just look good. The 24ct gold plate is a noticeable shade different from my other 14ct gold pens, it looks better. The cap snaps off, which is just more convenient than threads, and it posts with an interesting attention to detail and design. The gold accent ring near the top of the pen serves to hold the cap on, and the tolerances are such that the pen cap does not friction fit against the body of the pen, yet is held firmly in place when posted. When posted, the cap free to rotate slightly around the ring- It is hard to describe, but this attention to detail give a nice feel that the pen is of quality. Furthermore, unlike some snap pens (looking at you Metropolitan), the step down from the body to the grip section is quite small and this greatly helps with comfort. The grip section of the pen is plastic, however is not readily apparent against the lacquered brass body and cap (note that because the pen is brass, it can not be made into an eyedropper). The real magic of this pen; however, is the nib. For a steel nib, and even compared with many solid gold nibs, it is nothing short of fantastic. When I first opened the pen, I inserted the included cartridge and wrote with it as soon as I could reassemble. The pen did not miss a beat and has not since in months of use. Not one hard start, or skip (except the most minor of hard starts if the cap is left off for a few minutes). The nib writes with a very unique tactile feel, not at all a roughness, but a sort of pencil like feedback that helps my brain recognize what my hand just did. It makes writing much more effortless than with a glassy smooth nib like the vanishing point, in my experience, and it is unique even to the 3776 which is often described similarily. The nib is rather stiff, so variation is minimal, but this is perfect for a EDC pen imo. The nib writes on the wetter side, but not overly so. Finely unlike most fountain pens, there is no breather hole apparent on the top of the nib (looks like it may be relocated underneath and at the base), and as such there is less nib creep. Therefore, this pen works well with thinner more penetrating inks such as Noodlers' Warden and Bernanke series while still being great with iroshizuku and diamine inks. My only complaint with the pen is that while it allows for a converter, it is not included and the Waterman converter does not fit tightly into the grip. This is nothing more than a personal annoyance and hardly worth mentioning.

译文:在我所有的钢笔系列中(Pilot VP, Metro, Kaweco Sport, Monteverde Vesuvio, Lamy Safari, TWSBI Eco, Platinum 3776),这是我最喜欢的钢笔,除了3776。从钢笔的外观开始,它是一种优雅和克制的平衡。特别的是,使用金色的外观和整体的形状看起来很不错。24ct金笔和我的其他14ct金笔明显不同,它看起来更好。笔帽扣起来,这只是比螺纹笔更方便,并且其具有引人注意的细节和设计。靠近笔尖的金色调环用来固定笔帽,笔帽的原理是这样的:笔帽不会与笔体摩擦,但在贴上去时,笔帽会牢牢地固定在笔尖上。当贴上去时,笔帽可以自由地绕着笔圈稍微旋转这很难描述,但这种对细节的关注给人一种不错的感觉,那就是笔的质量。此外,不像一些写字快速钢笔(看看你的大都会),从身体到握把部分的步骤是相当小的,这大大有助于舒适度的提升。笔的握把部分是塑料的,但是不容易明显对漆黄铜阀体和阀帽(注意,因为笔是黄铜,它不能成为一个滴管)。这支笔的真正魔力;然而,是笔尖。对于一个钢笔尖来说,甚至与许多纯金笔尖相比,它简直是太棒了。当我第一次打开这支笔时,我把里面的墨盒插进去,一重新组装起来就用它写了起来。这支笔没有漏过一滴墨水,而且已经用了好几个月了。没有一个艰难的开始,或跳跃(除了最轻微的困难开始,如果帽子被关闭几分钟)。笔尖以一种非常独特的触感书写,完全不是粗糙,而是一种铅笔般的反馈,帮助我的大脑识别我的手刚刚做了什么。这使得写作比用光滑的笔头更轻松,就像在我的经验中一样,在我的经验中,它是独一无二的,即使是在3776这也很独特笔尖相当硬,所以变化是最小的,但这是完美的EDC笔在我看来。笔尖在湿润的一面书写,但不过分。与大多数钢笔不同的是,笔尖的顶部没有明显的呼吸孔(看起来它可能会被重新放置在笔尖下面和底部),因此笔尖的蠕动也就少了。因此,这支笔的工作,更薄更深入的墨水,如Noodlers' Warden and Bernanke系列,但仍然是伟大的iroshizuku和diamine墨水。我对这支笔唯一的不满是,虽然它允许使用转换器,但它不包括在内,而且Waterman转换器不适合紧紧握把。这只不过是一个人的烦恼,几乎不值一提。
