The Zebra V301 fountain pen is a huge diisappointment. I've used Zebra ball points and mechanical pencill for many years, and have always been satisfied. However, the V301 is terrible. It skips on every second or third stroke, and almost always on the initial letter of a new word. A decent fountain pen -- and not necessarily an expensive once -- at a minimum ought to write smoothly, without much pressure, and with very little skipping. There is no angle, pressure, or nib position that consistently writes smoothly. This pen is a dud! I gave it one star because zero stars was not an option.
