Wow that's really nice looking. How does it write?

For the price, it writes great.

Probably comparable in smoothness to a Safari, if not slightly smoother.

Wow that's saying a lot. I think I"ll look into picking one up. Thanks.

I got mine from aplustore.net

They have a whole lot of Baoer/Jinhao/Hero etc. pens, all with free shipping.

Thanks I'll check them out.

I got mine from dx.com, great thing is that it is a number 5 nib, so you can buy a whole range of italics, etc for it. Lovely pen. I also have the 801 and the 388.

Yeah, I know there's a decent range of Baoer pens, all reasonable pens.

I got this one because it's a knockoff of the Waterman Hemisphere, which I'll probably get sooner or later anyway.
