The pen arrived wrapped to the 10s by Yoseka. This is my first sailor pen and I am really enjoying it so far. The gold trim matches with the blue/purple resin, which sparkles subtly. It uncaps in 1.5 turns and writes comfortably posted. I like the added metal grip section to make it more front heavy, may be slippery to hold some. The metal of the grip section isn't exactly the same gold colour as the rest of the trim, but that's no issue for me. The weathervane/rooster nib has some meaning to me and by chance the limited edition number I received is also meaningful! So I'd like to say this pen was destined to be mine :) I am currently using Sailor Seiboku cartridges with it and you can really see observe the shading. You can hear the feedback, kind of like writing with a marker, and it writes extremely smooth as a broad nib. I also find that you can get a pretty thin line with less of a writing angle (more vertical), and it does reverse write to somewhat of an EF, but I don't really do that, it's just something I noticed. The pen will be a daily driver for me!
