I'm fairly new to the fountain pen community so please take this review for what it's worth. The Pilot Namiki Falcon I order was the Fine Nib in silver Rhodium trim. The pen is VERY light. If you're someone who prefers pens with weight, this isn't the pen for you. But for those who do not mind light weight pens, you can write for hours with minimal to no fatigue. The flexibility of the nib is about what I expected, based on the various reviews I've read as well as the videos I've seen on youtube about this pen. However, at first it was a little stiffer than I initially assumed it would be. I'm in the middle of learning Spencerian writing, which is one of the reasons why I was interested in this pen. I was looking for something I could use as an every day writer as well as add a bit of flare to my handwriting. Some reviews have reported concerns of the pen skipping, or railroading. From my personal experience so far, this had only occurred when I was flexing the nibs to it's maximum width for thick lines. It doesn't happen often, but it can happen from time to time and only if you're trying to create the maximum thick lines the pen would allow. Outside of this, the pen writes like a dream without skipping once.

The ink flow is fairly quick and wet, but not overly so. And the nib feels quite smooth on quality paper.

The only reason this pen doesn't get 5 stars is because of 2 things. The first being the ink capacity. The cartridge converter that comes with the pen does not hold a lot of ink, which is disappointing. If you write a lot, as in if you're a student or writing is a part of your job, you will have to refill ink in the pen before the day is out, at least once. The second reason is more of a personal taste. The Fine Nib isn't as fine as I had hoped. For something like this, I was hoping for a really fine line that was thinner than what this nib provided. So I'm currently in the middle of returning this one and purchasing one with an Extra Fine nib.

However, I'm quite sure that for most people, this nib would suit them all right. Amongst fountain pen owners, this may be common knowledge, but for the rest of you who may not know, the Japanese pens tend to have nibs that are almost one size smaller than the western nibs. This would mean that a Japanese Medium nib would be closer to a Western Fine nib and a Japanese Fine nib being closer to a Western Extra Fine nib. Now this does not mean it's a one to one correlation. You'd have to get the exact measurements of line thickness to be sure of what to expect. So please be aware.

In any case, I do love this pen and I'm looking forward to getting it in an Extra Fine nib. I hope this review helps.

Bold, dark colour makes this pen one of the best I've seen. Unfortunately, it tends to bleed a bit (which may be down to the quality of the paper I'm using); not a lot, admittedly, but enough that I noticed. It doesn't bleed through the paper but it doesn't get the crisp, clear edges in other ballpoints. Still, I'm pretty happy with this pen.

I'm pretty particular about my pens (left-handed, had previous surgeries on wrist, etc). and these pens are just alright. They don't smudge when I'm writing which is awesome, but not super comfortable for extended use (so 30 minute meeting taking notes is fine, but 2 hour lecture not so much).
The ink is dark, waterproof and fade proof.

Nice pen not too heavy , not too light either it feels just right . I like the pen and don't think you can do any better for the price .Just make sure as with any pen to clean it well before filling it with ink .

This pen writes pretty smoothly and feels pretty good in the hand with a nice grip. I needed a finer tip that my former "love", the Pilot Precise V5 RT and it definitely delivers. I only gave 4 stars because I think the white color cheapens the look of the pen(as another reviewer mentioned). I prefer the looks of the Pilot pen but i think I would reorder this again as long as all three pens hold up well.

This is a high quality pen for price, in fact it still would be at twice the price.
Uses the same reliable quality G2 refills as some of you probably have used in the disposable G2 clicky gel pen, the writing experience with this pen is superior however.
My only complaint that prevents a 5 star rating is the light retention of the cap, it can easily come off when you don't necessarily want it to, this hasn't been a problem in my shirt pocket, but when carrying it in my pants back pocket it often separated, enough so that I just cant carry it there, the same issue occurred once when carrying it clipped to a shirt placket.
If the cap retention were better, or it had a screw on cap, this would be a perfect rollerball pen.
Still, Ill highly recommended, just don't carry it in a way that you can loose the pen if the cap doesnt stay attached.

This pen writes well.  The nib seems a bit scratchy sometimes but overall I haven't had too many problems with it.

Very fine point and nice dark ink. The rubber ridges make it slightly uncomfortable to hold after long periods of time, but other than that the pen does what it says it does.

This pen looks nice and writes well.  It looks like metal, but it's plastic.  It has a clear base that it stands on and a swivel ball so it can be moved back and forth. It's a nice pen to go with any guest book.  It's a simple design, but light weight.  The price is right though.  It's good for any event, casual or elegant.  Before the event I was nervous that it wouldn't pull through, so I brought a back-up pen.  It worked ok though, and I worried for nothing.

I really like this pen.  I like the size and weight mostly.  Just a bit bigger than the average pen and a little heavier than the average.  I actually have three of these pens now.  The pen itself is definitely 5 star, however...

The ink cartridge does go out quickly, so get a Lamy refill at the same time as others have suggested.

This is a great pen to keep handy for school, work, or journaling. Nothing fancy, just a smooth-writing, well-made, but inexpensive pen. The packaging and casing for the pens have changed, though, from what is pictured. I liked the retro look of the Varsity pens as pictured here, but the new casing is much more professional looking. Also, these pens are made in Japan, which is important for me because I like to try to buy products made in countries with ethical labor. Overall, a great pen for a great price.

I like these little pens very much. Usually my handwriting prefers a medium nib but this time I ordered fine. The line was very nice and wet enough for the paper. The colors are nice and vibrant and I like the lightness of the pen itself. It's very easy to handle. The cap stay on nice and tight.

I received this pen (SF nib) as a Christmas gift. It's my first "high end" pen (relative term I suppose if $500 pens are in your price range).
Overall I love the pen, a few "semi-cons", if you can call them that, below.

Pros:
The size is nice, especially for a smaller hand, it doesn't feel overwhelming.
The lines size on the FS is really pretty small, which I like. I wasn't able to get the EF and was worried this would be too thick, but it's really narrow.
The flex does seem to loosen up a bit with use. After a few days of use it seemed to break-in and flex a bit more without as much pressure.
Nice, solid writing, no skipping, consistent flow. You want to be sure to use on a decent paper, depending on ink it will feather on crappy paper.

Semi-Cons:
if you're used to writing with pointed pens for a calligraphic look, this pen is not going to get you there. You have to be pretty deliberate with your down strokes to flex it out enough to get that line variation.
The price is pretty steep, although I understand why with the nib, but I'm not sure yet that the cost justifies this pen compared to the low-budget alternatives. However, being that I love the pen asides from the flex nib anyways and use it as my daily pen now, I'm thinking it will over time.

Really like these pen. I have purchased a variety of brush pens lately and I find that the felt type pens are better for learning hand lettering and calligraphy.  You don't get the pretty brush strokes though, but it makes it easier to get used to the pressure you need to apply to get the thin and bold strokes, and the edges of the letter tend to be clean.  The ink bleeds a little through regular copy paper as expected, but not as if you were using a Sharpie.  I just got the pen, so I don't know how long the ink would last. The barrel is comfortable, but even with my "medium" sized hands I find it a little too small, but now unbearable. The Pentel Ink Nylon Brush (see photo) has a much nicer feel as it is wider, but you have to press the barrel to make the ink flow, and as I am just learning, it takes time to handle the strokes/ink flow. Also, it is a bigger brush. I am adding a photo for comparison.  I hope you find my review useful.

I usually prefer pens that have point sizes 0.5mm or less. I bought this one due to hearing good things, and never had a chance to try it before. Despite the point size, I do like this pen -- the ink quality is good in that it dries quickly and does not smudge. While writing with this, your hand flies across the paper, and it feels smooth. It's also light, and the clip is durable.

Now for the bad, but it's minor stuff and some of it personal preference. The pen feels cheap -- when you click it, you can hear the and feel the scratching inside, as well as the spring. It looks plain, which is usually good, but the shiny and the dull matte clash. If you write in print rather than script, you will hear the tip of the pen move around, clicking while you do so.

In short, the writing with this pen feels great, but the build quality feels cheap and lacking durability, other than the clip.

Love to write with these pens but the green and yellow can be a little too light to see sometimes
