Have you tried one? What are prices like on them over there?

Less is More · Rookie

Nope, waaaay to futuristic :)

14 in an online shop. Can be had cheaper, I suppose.

Looks like a Rotring Core, doesn't it?

I think it targets the same market, but otherwise I don't see a lot of resemblance, myself. I have the blue Core "Lysium" fountain pen and rather like it.

Yes, the Rotring is typically a product of German engeering; building somthing that is futuristic and technologically refined, but not listening to the taste of the public?

"Vell, Ve vill build something that looks greally hidious; damn the public taste!"

The Core reminds me of a control lever from a 30s vintage airplane. But brighter.
