Was quite impressed with this pocket pen.

All metal body, good clip, smooth steel nib, converter included. All for about £15.

1 and a quarter turn twist cap.

Farting cat finial.

Arguably competing with Kaweco AL sport IMHO.

    Farting cat finial.

    You’re not wrong. Took me a second to realize what they intended it to be.

    In the fine tradition of a certain bird poop European brand.

      It feels different. I have a fine Kaweco sport and a fine Perkeo, and I think they have more feedback than this M2. The M2 also lays a thicker line, despite also being <F>. It’s more like a <M> to me.

        The thicker line is not so bad. I like the bold ones. With feedback you also mean smoothness? Or just that you can have a better feeling for what you’re doing?

          Usually “feedback” refers to the presence of a feeling of the roughness of the page. It’s not better or worse, just different.

    I just got this pen too, it’s really amazing how good it is considering the price. The section is sooo long and allows for a lot of freedom of movement and there’s little details like the converter being deconstructable which makes it so easy to clean. The nib is great to, and I use it more often than my AL sport

    Heh, mine arrived just this morning in record time (ETA was not for another 3 weeks!). I don’t have a Kaweco Sport to compare to since after reading and watching reviews on them, I decided to go with the M2 instead.

    I am yet to ink it up (saving that for tonight) but it feels nice in the hand so far and light for a metal pen (I prefer lightweight). I’m looking forward to seeing how flexy/springy the nib writes!

    My spouse is jealous mine has a farting cat and his Hongdian Black Forest doesn’t 😹

      I’d be interested to hear your opinion once you’ve tried it out.

      And please, post more pens here. Let’s get this community rolling!
