Pen makes a beautiful line but is very leaky. When asked, I was told that was a compromise that was necessary for flow. I have many pens with great flow that don't leak, so not a great answer. I won't be buying more

FPR pens write beautifully. This purchase makes my 11th FPR pen. My three star rating relates to the fit and finish of this pen and two previous FPR pens. They look a bit tired -- or even used; like someone had left them in a tool box for a few weeks resulting in micro scratches (and larger) over much of the surface. A wobbly finial here, a rough edge there make the overall appearance disappointing. Having seen several Indian factories in person, I can say that their employees are good folks who work crazy-hard at their jobs, but the environment is often messy, gritty and careless of order and tidiness -- thus yielding shopworn products. You're a fine writer, Kevin, and I will buy more FPR's I'm sure; but could you maybe get the word back to the manufacturers that we stylogeeks are hoping for more QC in our pens? Thank you and best of luck.

The one I bought was rather small, and what I did not like was the EF ultra flex nib is alot smaller than the ones I bought for my other fountain pens. I didn't even realize this one uses a small nib and unlike the ones I bought, the nib was really small and not very flexy than the larger ones I got. bought for my other pens, the Himalayan one that I love; it has the larger nib and very nice flex. I am noticing though, that the more I draw with it over a few days, the flex is getting better, so no major complaints. I use fountain pens for drawing cartoons.....

The pen leaks and the company says I must be holding it wrong. if that be the case, why don’t any of my other pens ink up my fingers?

Three out of the four inks I purchased were covered in ink upon opening. It was a mess I was not expecting. I never had this issue when I have purchased inks at other places.

While the pen itself is beautiful, how it was received was somewhat disturbing. No box, just wrapped with a rubber and and some styrofoam. No instructions, The nib of the pen is beautiful, but was out of align, and it is very scratchy. Not sure what is going on, the reviews I say on YouTube was the reason I decided to order. I have decided not to use it at this point and will probably give it to my grandson, as he is learning how to use a fountain pen.

I did not have very good delivery service for spending extra money for it. It was a holiday and a bad time to judge this fairly. The Himalaya V1 does not seem to be worth the $30 that I paid for it, but the flex nib is very nice.
