Good pen, fun to use, and I need to order refills asap. Would recommend and will buy more of the sizes in the near future. Grab yourself one and work on your handstyles without killing your favorite chisel tip.
1 star deducted because the instructions are hard to read and you cannot use the original packaging to store the pen in once its assembled. Now itll be floating around with all my other pens, which I'm not wild about. 4 of 5 Stars!

Yo so while I haven't picked one up from AP yet, I've used these bad boys for quite some time already and here's the deal: the sandwich nib plates really do give you the cleanest edges and sharpest lines I've seen on any portable calligraphy tool. The ink free-flows in between the plates which means that it will put out a lot of ink depending on your speed and style so just know that more fibrous and course papers will bleed a bit at stop points. But on anything like parchment or Bristol and you're good. These are well balanced (a lot like a larger quill) and super portable. Also super low maintenance, easy to clean, and with the way you change ink cartridges allows you two ways to blend: 1) you can flood the reservoir behind the nib with one color and then load another color refill behind it for a gradual transition, or 2) you can touch the nib to any other ink color and it will draw a small amount in for small sharp transitions. Either way pick one up for sure to play around with because I've been paying $14.99 and art stores for these baby's and AP is out here takin hits at $7.99 just so you kids can do art.
P.s. You can use the small edges of the nib for small detail work, I think it's .3mm 5 of 5 Stars!
