Porsche Design Tec Flex Gold Special Edition

Well actually thought I understood what it meant when I first read it. Now not too sure. But my guess is that when you lay the pen into paper it compresses and expands like a shock absorber. Then again, someone who actually owns it might know and will hopefully let us know.

"but aren't you a doctor and not a calligrapher?" Well Jim, why do you think my handwriting is so bad? Also, I can't parse what that quote from the site trying to tell me the weave actually does.

Well Bones, interesting point, but aren't you a doctor and not a calligrapher? From the their website on the fountain pen, "Flexible writing comfort: the hi-tech weave pulls together elastically when the mechanical pencil and ballpoint pen are pushed." Which makes me think they just copy pasta-ed from their other writing instruments. Not sure what this has to say about the much vaunted German attention to detail.
