Anybody have anything to say about these pens?

Oh, yeah! They're great pens for the price - if you can find them anymore.
They were discontinued a few years back and King Pen picked up the remaining
stock from Parker, but they sold out a year or two ago.

They originally came with either fine or medium nibs, then came with medium
nibs only. I got fine nibs by calling the Parker Service Center.

They're lightweight and very comfortable. At only $7, they were the best at
that price point. However, they're not quite as smooth as my Pelikano or
Future or Lamy Safari or Rotring Core, but remember, they didn't cost as
much, either.

I liked them so much that I gradually acquired all four colors, then added
the ball points and rollerballs. The bps aren't as comfortable and I don't
use them anymore, preferring my Fisher Telescope for when I need a bp, but I
still use the rbs with **fine** refills. They're my favorite rbs.

Back to the fps - I refill the cartridges to get the largest capacity.
