Oh my goodness! I typically find Benu pens a tad too gaudy for my tastes, but that one is really lovely. Those details are lovely. And I think oxblood is a brilliant match.
How is it to write with? I haven’t ever used a pen body quite that shape. Is it comfortable to hold?
The shape is actually very similar to a 1911 or Metropolitan, just slightly more tapered. It looks very fat, but that’s mainly just the molded design, which is very surprisingly comfortable and still slim. It’s comfortable to hold while writing, and the nib so far is lovely! Very consistent ink flow and it feels great on Rhodia. I’ll be bringing it to work next week to see how it writes on more everyday paper.
