I was able to get a first hand look at these new pens from RiKwill while at the LA Pen Show and I came away very impressed. Many of Rik’s designs appeal to me and this take on the Conklin Crescent Filler is certainly eye catching. Even though I didn’t get a chance to write with it, it did feel good in the hand and there was quite a lot of heft to it thanks to its solid silver construction.
