The pen has a touchy point. The slightest bump kills the pen. It's also not very durable. After about a week, of playing with several, then top loosened and then came off each time I clicked it.

This pen started skipping the first time I used it. I tried to continue to "break it in," but it didn't help any. There was a multi-pack, and they were all horrible. The pens also wrote a lot thicker than I expected for their size rating.

I feel it's good, although the grip is uncomfortable sometimes, depending on how you hold it. I just found out that the 207 ink is somewhat erasable, which I don't like because well, you can leave it partially erased and just doesn't look good.

I have several Safaris: the yellow RB, the all-white FP medium, the charcoal FP Broad, and the Black FP Italic. The Broad is too broad, the italic is too broad, but the medium is just right. They seem to go forever and take a lot of abuse. I'm ready to get rid of the the RB and the two black fountains. I'm just tired of them.

I like my Safari, which I've had for several years. It writes well, and the ergonomic grip suits me well. It's on the light side, of course, but balanced. The metal nib has never been a negative for me. I have to say, though, that the styling, which I found attractive four years ago, seems sort of dated and tacky. Put it this way: No one ever says about it "What a neat pen!" -- a comment that many other pens of mine elicit. More important, its current pattern disuse indicates that I no longer think it's neat, either.

This is one good value pen! Mine was $12.95 on ebay. It puts down a fine but solid line. It feels good in the hand. It doesn't hestitate on first use even when not used for a few days. HOWEVER, be careful when the ink gets low. It can blob. Fortunately it's got a tank like a '53 Caddillac so this doesn't happen often.
