Another PIF as I’m trying to scale my group of pens back down to a more manageable size.

This pen is sold exclusively by “The Pen Shop” high street chain in the UK. This pens is a nice size and a good every day pen. It shows some minor signs of use however I have only used it a few times as I'm not a fan of the it has lamy Safari Esque grip section. In terms of performance it has a very smooth medium nib comparable to pens that cost significantly more which is made by bock.

I wrote a short reviewon FPN the pen a back in May if anyone is interested however here are the main features;
- Cartridge converter (note only smaller Chinese converters fit), eye dropper compatible
- Rubber Grip section
- Made in Germany

I have already received a Dex pen from a PIF and it writes nicely, but if no one else is interested then I would like to be considered.

Please enter my name.
I would love to try the pen. I've never heard of a Dex pen before, and I love using "basic" level pens. I don't feel uncomfortable as when using an expensive pen, so I can write without the cloud of EXPENSIVE sitting over me.
I checked your review thread and I did not see anything about size and weight. I can't use FAT (much beyond 13mm body) or heavy (above 30 grams) pens. If it is, I will have to pass.

thanks.

I too would like to be entered for this pen. Right now I have only two pens and both are demonstrators. I think this is a very pretty blue and would promise to keep it and put it to good use. I have a sample of a blue ink from Goulet Pens that I think would look nice in it. I just want to say thanks for doing this, it's nice for beginner FP users to have a chance at adding to their collection.

I love that shade of blue and have never had a chance to try or use a Dex. I would love to try it out and would plan to use it as an eye dropper filled pen. Being a south paw I prefer steel nibs on my pens and I overgrip or grip too tight my pens so I am in search of a softer grip sections on my pens. I am a daily user of the fountainpen for notes in meetings and fill an A4 notebook every 5-8 weeks so do a lot of writing.

Could you enter me please for this PIF?

Hello, I recently purchased a Black Lamy Safari and I absolutely love it. I would keep and use this pen as a daily writer and show it off at work(like I do with my Lamy). Thanks for consideration.

Although I have never heard of the DEX brand, that is one nice looking fountain pen. Please throw my name in the hat, I would love the opportunity to write with a Dex pen.

I offered this PIF across both FPN and FPgeeks as initially I didn't get much interest. I put every entry into a spread sheet and using the order them came I assigned a number and used https://www.random.org/ to come up with the winner.

So the Winner is Ccnati on FPN.

Thanks for doing the draw Top Ten. I put a PIF out once with no interest so gave the pens away on Fountain Pen day.
