Pros and cons
Pros
- Distinctive red lacquer and gold-finished details give it a dressier look than a plain writing pen.
- The listed medium nib and refillable format suit routine handwriting without requiring a disposable pen.
Cons
- It is listed as not water resistant, so it is not suited to writing that must withstand water exposure.
