I have been using fountain pens for years and I have seen Levenger pens all that time during online browsing. I was constantly outbid in auctions and I thought i would never get one. This past holiday season I figured I could check out the website and see for myself. Now I am wondering why I didn't do this sooner. The selection and holiday pricing did the trick and I have been making up for lost time. Filling slots in my collection and discovering new resins. That brought me to this one. Tortoiseshell is not for everyone. The jumbled browns and black with the lighter colors work great for some people but others prefer a softer color in a pen. This is bold with a sense of depth and just enough chatoyance to keep it interesting. All of the True Writer qualities are there, it writes great, nib is smooth, converter works great, pen sits comfortably in your hand and the section is easy to grip. The pen is just plain made to write. It's aptly named. The color is dynamic for those that like that darker mixed resin. The added bonus with this is the gold colored accents really set the pen off. It's a great combination.
