These catch my eye every time they hit Massdrop, but the comments in this discussion are alarming.
I don't have a problem with spending $70 on a pen like this, but I would expect it to be at least as functional as the 7 dollar F-701 I've had for 10 years.
Has anyone actually received one that lives up to the quality that is advertised?
Mike7620Quality of the physical pen is great. The issue is finding refills that are extemely proprietary to LAMY. When Staples or Office Depot cant help you know there is a problem. Since these are made in Germany, it might me more available outside of the US.
InForOneI have the aluminum version of this pen and I use fisher space pen refills because I took a small drill bit and made the hole for the refill bigger.
