I have been keen to get one for a while now but a few things came together:
- My old pen leaked when I was with a client - not a major problem on that occasion, but I took it as a warning
- That pen kept drying out - I must admit that I use a laptop so much that my pens get very intermittent use ( I also got some Namiki ink to solve this problem - some people have cited Quink ink as a problem for pens which aren't used frequently)
- My wife allowed me to buy my own present :-)
I hadn't seen this article until just now, but the advantages of the pen are well put and the same on-line site Cult Pens was used: great price and very fast delivery.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for the mention - I work at Cult Pens.
I've never had a Capless leak, or even *heard* of it happening, so you should be pretty safe there.
Drying up certainly shouldn't be a problem, either - they're well sealed. If it's likely to be unused for a while, though, you could always keep it wrapped in a little plastic bag, to stop the air getting at it.
pigpogm,
Nice handle!
Pen is just great so far, and attracting lots of attention - writes well too.
"unused for a while" - are we talking days or weeks for this?
Thanks for the comment and the advice.
Days certainly shouldn't be a problem. I've left mine unused for weeks, and it's always started again after a quick scribble, but wrapping it might be an idea if you're concerned.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it, though. They're great pens, and really good nibs - a bit more flex than most modern pens, and very smooth, as you mentioned.
