It writes smooth and easy straight out of the box. Nib is super smooth. The Fine nib seems to be a bit finer than a Parker fine nib - which is absolutely perfect.
Seen some complain about the 'notch' or 'bump' where the cap clips into place when closed, but for the way I hold the pen its no issue at all.
Comes with a couple of sampler ink cartridges (didn't try).
My one complaint - and nitpicking - is the pen writes a bit heavy for a Moleskine notebook, causing it to ghost really badly and even bleed through the page. This isn't an issue unless you're a Moleskine fan.
Overall its a great fountain pen. If I didn't know it picking this up, I would guess it was easily in the $60-100 price range, not $25.
