I also have to say that not ALL old paper is 'good' old paper. These Morilla grid pads bleed something awful.

Nice review. Is it the same nib as the Safari?

[Sailor Kenshin]

I don't think so---it's a different finish, but I could be wrong. And I think it writes a little thicker line, at least compared to the Safari I used to have.

 

PS: Thanks!

Sailor:

 

Great review. I just bought one with matching pencil for my daughter for Christmas. She's been admiring my pens for while.

 

I dip-tested it before I packaged it up.

 

What I liked:

 

1) It is a perfectly writing pen. It's nib is very forgiving. I don't have to stand over my daughter ensuring she doesn't mess up my pen.

2) It's wooden body is quality construction; reminds me of those well-made German toys I had as a kid.

 

What I didn't like:

1) It's too small. Okay, it's for a child or someone with small hands.

2) You can't post the cap on that functionless nob on the top. On the pencil, this nob turns to feed the lead.

[Sailor Kenshin]

Nope, you can't post it---you can't post the earlier versions of the Pelikano Jr. either! At least the non-posted caps don't roll away, a small detail which I appreciate.

 

Small? Not to me!
