Very pretty! I have a blue diamond, and I’ve got mixed feelings about it. I didn’t like the feeling of the fine nib it shipped with. I ordered a medium nib and it feels much better to write with. When you say you love the ribs, I assume you’re talking about the grip. That’s actually one of the things I don’t like. Possibly due to the way I hold the pen, I find it becomes uncomfortable to hold sure to the ribs digging into my fingers after a while. If I could find a replacement for the grip, I think I would use it more. I also find the screw cap makes it less appealing to use at work, compared to a snap on cap.
On the other hand, it’s beautiful, holds a huge amount of ink, they sell replacement nibs, comes with a set of tools and silicon grease to maintain it, and is decently priced for what it is. Also comes in a range of really nice colours.
Anyway, enough about me. Enjoy your new pen!!
What do you think? I’ve had mixed experiences with fine nibs (sometimes they feel very scratchy, but in other brands, with different inks and paper, they still feel too wet), so I’ve been nervous about trying EF. There’s obviously still much to learn and experiment with.
