A
few months back I reviewed the Pilot Prera pen, an all around favorite
in the fountain pen world. My review was less than joyous. I felt it was
too much money for too little pen, while that sentiment still stands
I’ve grown fond of this lightweight little pen. The ink flow is just
juicy enough that the inks look great on just about any paper and the
nib is smooth without any work on it. I find the pen a perfect one to
clip to the side of my Davis Leather simple notebook cover for quick
notes on the fly.

It
can languish nib up in my bag for a couple of days and when I uncap it,
nothing but ink, it just writes. I can't say that for every pen that
sit in my bag over a weekend.

After
I wrote my review I passed the pen off to my partner who then passed it
back to me. She’d beaten it up a little bit, taking it to and from
court. Initially I started to use it to use up the last of the ink in
it’s cartridge, then I refilled it and just kept using it. Then I made one of these for it.

Honestly,
I’ve grown to love this pen. If you can find a decent deal on this pen,
maybe in the fountain pen network classifieds section or eBay, in the
$30 range, spring for it, it’s worth every penny at $30- $35. Paying $50
for it willleave you with buyer’s remorse.
