The notebook is excellent, as expected from Rhodia. Nothing more to say there.
The converter seems solid, but it doesn't look like coming from a respectable maker (say Schmidt). And the cartridges are always useful and convenient to have because they are refillable using a syringe. The wrap could be useful too, even though it probably is cheap.
The pen though, that is really strange. It looks cheap, especially the clip. And I can understand by looking at the writing samples that the nib is no good either. The Fine writes like a Medium and none of the 3 nibs writes a nice and clean line.
And I'm thinking that at least the body has a nice design size-wise and should feel great at hand. Nice grip diameter and the coating should make it even more comfortable. But @Hueston says otherwise, so that thought goes down the drain, too.
What does this all mean? That this drop could be nice for someone who already has fountain-pen experience. Someone who wants a notebook, a pen wrap to try out, a converter and three (not a whole pack) cartridges for backup. And a cheap pen to test some nib-grinding on. Or other experiments that could damage a pen.
In my eyes, that is a small target-market.
