### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m not a calligrapher but these are lovely pens
*by B***E on 28 November 2024*

I purchased some to do fancy-pants writing in greeting cards. Unfortunately my writing still looks like a spider has crawled across the paper but I live in hope it will improve. They have a long, slender profile with nice firm nibs in different widths, and they look stylish in my pen pot. The caps click on nicely and aren’t in danger of coming off easily. Ink is a decent black and does not smudge. Overall, very good pens.
