Pilot Custom Heritage 912 Fountain Pen - Black Body with SU Nib - Premium Writing Instrument for Professionals, Calligraphy & Gift Giving

912 stub(su) is my favorite writer by far! But it's too good for me and I'm scared to mess it up (more than double the cost of any other pen I've purchased). While i don't have reference to other ultra premium pens it was my 7th italic nibbed pen. Bought in December 2016 and it's running beautifully today. If you want it i say pull trigger, I swoon every time i see it. if you're browsing for a good italic I'd say look towards the twsbi line their stub nib is killer and won't break the bank.
