Product Description
While not marketed as a flex pen, the Pilot Falcon is fitted with a semi-flex 14-karat gold nib that provides excellent line variation. Thanks to its softness, the nib allows you to write for long periods without experiencing the fatigue that accompanies many flexible stainless steel nibs Read More
Buyers: BEWARE!
I recieved the pen today and I was charged 40,11 EUR as import fee (Belgium). For some reason the seller does not take any import fees into account, although they know perfectly well what import fees are applicable to each country. They undervalue the item to avoid taxes and if your item gets checked you will have to pay the entire sum.
I hope Massdrop will provide compensation for this? If not, any item you buy from their website is a gamble.
H_cimI had the same issue and also paid that much. It happened once before with some stationnary from G.Lalo Mode de Paris Champagne. I guess custom agents apply import fees base on the title alone...
Beside that, it's a classy pen with gold and black. One downside of this kind of glossy resin is it tends to catch fingerprints. My Soft Fine writes smoothly and offers a bit of feedback but not the kind "it digs in the paper". Softness might disturb some but I find it quite pleasant.
Here's another writing sample for you guys ! (scanner doesn't pay hommage to the ink, I really recommand you to try it out for its shading properties !)
Get this in Fine if you want to learn the difference between feedback and "scratchy"—it's quite smooth but you can feel the grain of the paper pass beneath the nib. The Fine also makes CRAZY thin lines, and the Falcon nib (which is NOT flex) gives it just a bit more ink at the end/start of the stroke, depending on how you write; this is an EXCELLENT nib for bringing out the shading of the ink.
Edit: also, yes, this is MUCH less fatiguing on your hand over long writing sessions, compared to a steel nib.

LizI had used the wrong card, and was going to switch it tonight; my initial charge was rejected. The card revision, and subsequent payment, seems to have gone through.
