Best fountain pen for any serious writer
By Angela Allen
I've used this pen exclusively for over a year and a half. It's the absolute finest pen I've ever used. It's as beautiful as it is well-balanced and practical. Having the luxury of a fountain pen with the convenience of a click-top pen (no cap to fumble with or lose) is amazing.My next purchase will be a fine and a broad nib for this pen -- and an extra medium, just in case I wear out the one I have. I highly recommend it. The price is high, but it's worth every cent!

By Rudy P.
This is a beautiful and well balanced fountain pen. The iridescence of the abalone shell (Raden is the the abalone shell treatment in japanese pens) looks like the cosmos fading into the infinite blackness of space. I probably roll the barrel under my reading lamp, mesmerized by the shiny bits of abalone shell, more than I actually write with it!About the unorthodox pen clip position... it doesn't interfere with my grip. On the contrary, I feel as though the grip helps me hold the pen correctly. Your mileage may vary.The fine gold nib is superb, and ink flows freely in a clean gapless 0.5mm'ish line, regardless of stroke speed. I have another Vanishing Point with a medium nib, and I much prefer the fine nib. The medium nib is too fat for my smallish handwriting, and I like to write densely in smaller 5x7 inch journals.This pen is one of the nicest, if not the nicest, things I own. Perfect.

The Raden is my "dream" pen. I have owned a red VP for nearly ten years. I also have several other fountain pens, but the VP is my pen of choice - the pen I always have with me and use exclusively. I love it.
