AURORA Ipsilon Quadra Sterling Silver 14K Gold Rhodium M MEDIUM Nib Fountain Pen

AURORA Ipsilon Quadra Sterling Silver 14K Gold Rhodium M MEDIUM Nib Fountain Pen. Please order with CONFIDENCE! AURORA CLASSIC IPSILON QUADRA. 14K Rhodium M (Medium) Nib Size. An innovative line with a strong attitude. The Aurora Ipsilon, with its unmistakably shaped clip, is a loyal everyday companion dedicated to those who work and study. It is made of Sterling silver accents and a 14K Rhodium Gold nib. This fountain pen comes with an Aurora blue ink cartridge and an Aurora converter in a black gift box. A light and well-balanced snap-cap pen, the Ipsilon is a great every day carry pen. With a toothier nib, this pen is ideal for those who like to feel their pen on the paper. The presentation of the pen in the box is outstanding. Honestly, Aurora’s packaging is some of the best I’ve seen. It’s not tacky and overdone, but it’s not cheap. It feels equal to the price and quality of the pen. This is one of the few boxes I will keep. Now, on to the pen itself. It sounds trite, but the Ipsilon Quadra is simply a well-made pen. Both the cap and the barrel are sterling silver. The clip and cap band are not. The pen is lighter than I would expect for a metal pen, but has good heft. You can tell that it’s not thinly plated. Another thing I like is the finish. My Parker Sonnet’s finish is “antiqued, ” meaning that the silver is given a patina to make it look older. The Ipsilon Quadra is shiny, at least until the silver develops a patina of its own. If you want to keep this pen shiny and “new” looking, you’ll have to polish it. The cap is friction fit, and it snaps on and off firmly. The plastic end-cap on the pen also “snaps” the cap into place when you post the pen. While the pen can be used unposted, I’m pretty sure this one is intended to be used posted, and that’s how it best fits my hand. Whats fantastic about the Aurora Ipsilon fountain pen is that the cap posts with a satisfying snap. It audibly clicks into place and the cap stays put when posted. It is so comfortable, Its hard to put into words the comfort level of this pen. It is easy to hold, easy to write with, easy to carry in a pocket. The size of this pen is just right, its not too small. The length of this pen is great for all but the largest hands. Theres no hand fatigue with the Aurora Ipsilon fountain pen. It is light and well balanced, I write with the cap posted on my fountain pens and this one wrote well for long stretches without any strain on my wrist or fingers. This pen is comfortable. The Ipsilon Quadra with a Medium nib was bordering on fine, I LOVED the line width of the Medium, was MUCH thinner than the broad nib. Aurora fountain pens are known for a toothy bite to their nib performance. The Ipsilon Quadra was an exception. When I first began writing with it, I did not feel any roughness against paper. Im glad that more I kept using it became more smoother and smoother. It was not scratchy at all, just toothy a bit. The difference is the pen doesnt feel like its dragging and pulling at the paper. I also loved the fine nib. What I loved about the Aurora fine nib was that it was it was fine enough to show even small flourishes in handwriting, when your upstroke moves a little from the down stroke. You can actually see the small left-most loop in the cursive, the line width of most fine and medium pens typically covers that up. Overall writing perforfance with all the nib sizes i had F, & M nib were phenomenon. Picture shows Italic nib but actual nib is Medium. This pen takes cartridges or a converter comes in the box. The cartridges are long and hold a lot of ink. Pulling it apart to get to the converter is standard practice, nothing complicated here, just unscrewing and flushing. What I do like is the design to thread plastic into resin. Some manufacturers choose to thread metal into resin, that assembly is bound to fail and strip over time because of the hardness of metal versus resin. I love that they took the time to design the cover coating the inside of the cap to receive the metal band on the end of the pen by snapping into place so you know when this pen is posted correctly. 14K Rhodium & Barrel came in Sterling Silver.
