Arete Fountain Pen

[Cwalker935]

I decided to give the Arete fountain pen a try. I really like this kit. Wrote smoothly when I first touched it to paper with no skips.

I can't seem to get a good photo of it.

Nice!

I've been carrying mine for a month now. With some good ink, I really writes nice, I like the extra fine nib.

The only thing I noticed was the wider band on the body, near the cap threads becomes loose. I think if you tighten the cap too tight, it starts backing the tube from the nib/thread assembly. I put it back in the press and I'm careful not to tighten the cap too hard, no problem since.

I bought the roller ball version, but have not made it yet, I want to use a longer tube. I find the pen to be a little short, I want to see more blank then chrome parts. By the way, the chrome parts really show fingerprints.

Great looking pen!

A good coating of Ren Wax would help with the fingerprints.
