My first impression was of the natural feel of the blending of the burl with the shimmering blue green resin. It can really be appreciated in the sunlight.
The pen has a good feel in the hand, and I would say that my hands are medium to large. The pen does not post, but it is unnecessary to do that in any case since the pen is plenty large as is. The nib is a two-tone Bock steel in fine, and is well tuned out of the box. Perhaps tuned by the maker…
All and all I am very happy with my purchase and would consider future purchases from Gilbert House Pens.
