I bought this for myself, to have a nice pen, since I believe every person should. Particularly at this time I had anticipated to do a lot of studying, so I use this pen throughout the day, quite a lot. It is always comfortable to hold, and writes very well (I know this may have more to do with the cross ink, but to be fair the pen is supposed to steady it, so I will credit the pen too). I always keep it in my pockets when I can.
