The pens are very nice and write well. They feel comfortable in your hand and their hex shape prevents accidents.

Writes every time. No false starts on all paper so far. Use it every day.

These pens write very well. They are built as well as any other <$20 pen I have owned with a good nib that starts easily and puts down a nice even line. It's a <F> nib but that is on the Euro/American scale. It's more similar to the <M> nibs from the Japanese manufacturers like Pilot and Sailor. Just a touch on the dryer side but still quite a comfortable stroke with none of the feedback you'll get from a <F> Sailor nib.
However, someone was asleep in the design phase.
The barrel of the pen is large enough to accommodate the length of a standard international converter but the inside diameter is just a bit too tight with most. I tried several different converters and most of the cheaper ones wouldn't fit at all because they lacked the little step down at the end that shrinks the diameter enough to fit inside the nib housing. The ones that had the step down were just too thick to fit inside the barrel without damaging the converter.
I eventually found that this Monteverde convereter has a bit slimmer diameter and fits well in this pen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EDYT06/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Someone at Ohto should have just said "Hey, lets run the drill bit up and down the barrel one more time and then you could use a normal converter" But they didn't.

Inexpensive heavy weight pens that write well considering their price point.

Writes fine but a bit too scratchy for my taste. The inkflow is also not great, at times I even thought that my cartridge was empty when in reality the ink was just not flowing to the tip.

Good value. Writes well, but very lightweight. For a daily use pen, the price is right.

The design is very nice and the weight is a little on the light side for my taste but not a huge problem. The ink is pretty terrible on most paper but in my Clairefontaine My Essential notebook it writes really well. The nib is a little scratchy but on my notebook it is not noticeable.
I am not in expert in this or have yet to try but I believe one can purchase a converter or other cartridges to remedy the ink problem some have had.
Overall very happy with my purchase especially with the price.
