The pen writes smoothy and the tip does its job really well by having a continuous flow of ink throughout the writing. It is not a dry writer though. Therefore have to be a bit careful not to touch what you have written as soon as you've taken the nib off the paper. But it is just a negligible matter when the quality of the pen is considered. The finish is good. But it is not heavy given that it is a premier product and have the elegant look which you usually incorporate with a higher quality pen. But it has a few minor drawbacks too. One is since it is a small pen people with larger palms will find it a bit difficult to handle. And if you are someone who is fond of writing without the cap of a pen this one will not the one foe you since it is a really short pen. And the second issue is also associated with the size of the pen. Since it is shorter it can accommodate only the smaller cartridges. So its better to keep extra cartridges with you or carry a back up pen just in case the ink ran out of your Elite 95S. But overall it is an awesome pen and with the 14k gold nib, best value for your money.Read full review

This is one of the few pens that will fit a T-Shirt pocket easily. It's as high quality as all Pilot pens and I love the gold inlaid nib compared to the understated hooded one on the 1970s elite. Also, the cap on this posts perfectly. It slides on snugly but easily. The M nib is a bit wide, more like a european M, but the F nib is perfect for smaller writing (kind of like the Prera/78G steel nib M).

This is a great pen at a great price. I have smaller hands and it fits my hand well, even unposted. The nib is really nice to write with. I’m happy I bought it. It’s now part of my daily carry. I’m not sure I’d carry it in a pocket without some sort of carrier because it will probably scratch easily.

This pen is a beautiful writer. I had it inked up and was writing with it within an hour of its arrival. The fine nib is smooth with a little feed back and it is juicy for a fine nib.
