    These are good starter pens. Unfortunately, like most Chinese pens, they can be hit or miss in quality. Nevertheless, Laban is on the top tier of Chinese pens. They have interesting designs and colors. Not a bad buy.

    Thank you for that information, Andrew.

    It looks like I'll have to find somewhere I can give one a test drive.

    Regards

    I've never had a bad Laban, and I've had as many as 6 - the Celebration and Mento models.

    Well, the one I've got posted at B/S/T is a good one. I am just spending more time with my vintage pens these days.
