    Default WITHDRAWN, SANITY RESTORED

    WITHDRAWN after having second thoughts and punching myself in the face for even considering.

    Does it really write that well or is it more of a grail pen thing?
    I'm discovering vintage pens. Oh no!

    It's a Japanese fine, and so it lays down an extra fine line. There is zero flex. I think the allure is the integrated nib and the relative scarcity.

    I am hoping this will fit in the pen slot of the Levenger International Pocket Briefcase.

    I've an MYU 701 with an F, too. Mine is always with me. It's my perfect, note-taking pen. The nib is smooth and sturdy. Initially my pen was hard starting, and the feed was off center. Dillon Ang reset it for me, and it's performed w/out issue ever since. Me, I don't use a pen based on its scarcity but for a pen's performance. A lot of people prefer the M90 to the 701. Having tried both, I prefer the lightness of the 701 over the M90. The Murex, which is not a pocket pen, is also an excellent writer.

    Hope you come to really enjoy yours!

    Hope you didn't punch yourself too hard--at least some of the allure on these is the hunt. I've used my M90 as a wallet pen and it's virtually indestructible. These are great little pens, so I'm sure you won't regret keeping it.
