Packaging-*
Okay- Okay, The pen comes in a black box with a black outer sleeve. The bottom has Penlux '' written in golden colour. Their is nothing spectacular about this packing; it's pretty standard.
Build Quality & Material-*
Great,The pen* is made of very nice resin & is similar to shape of Mont Blanc 149 . I like the pens in cigar shape , so I too like the shape of this pen very much. The cap finial & bottom finial both are dome shaped & the clip is a wheel clip which suits this pen.The cap has a cap band at the end of the cap over which company name has been written. The threads are not sharp at all & they wont bother you while writing.The barrel slightly tapers from the barrel band towards the barrel threads where there is a slight step down. Overall its very nice design & build quality is great too.
************************
Filling Mechanism-
It is a piston filler , which is made by Penlux* in-house team. And honestly they have done great job in their first pen. The aluminium piston is smooth & holds good amount of ink. The piston mechanism works efficiently without any issues.*
Nib Performance-*
Great, The nib performed well out of the box. It is very smooth & wet out of the box .There's no drying at all even after a week , the cap seal works very well. The stock nib is Jowo #6, You can upgrade it to gold nib also.
************
Overall-*
Good, It's the first pen from the house of Penlux & they have done a great job.* The main point of attraction of this pen is its piston & Penlux has done a good job there. But you must keep in mind that #6 size nib looks very small on this pen as its fairly very large.Also it retails around $190 which I feel is on the higher side for steel nib .
Buying This pen is available with most of pen shops.Its also available at Wonder Pens who provide delivery option worldwide.
