I've been seeing them around a little bit, and it's very different from their other styles, their traditional styles, like the M205 is a very classic-looking pen. This is still a very classic-looking pen, but it's a metal barrel pen. It reminds me a lot of the Lamy Studio. So I ordered one. I used the code PINADDIC10. I got 10% off. So it was $92, and I got 10% off that. And what I wanted to do is I wanted – there was a twofold reason why I wanted this. Number one, to try out the nib to see how it compares to, like, the M205 nib, which I love. And number two, Pelican came out with the Edelstein ink cartridges. This is a cartridge converter fill, not a piston filler. So they have the Edelstein Topaz in ink cartridges. They come in this little Altoids-looking tin, and they're really neat. I got the Topaz. I ordered the Topaz Edelstein cartridges. So I've got that loaded up in the Pura, and it's working great so far. And I think I ordered it from <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Penn </del>Chalet. My order showed up in, like, three days. I don't know. It was fast. They're super fast shipping, good packaging, totally good experience. So I'm very happy with what I've got, and I will be reviewing that soon on the blog and maybe on the podcast. So it is a very cool product and something a little bit different from Pelican. So I've actually got a lot to say about this pen because it's different than some of their more classic offerings.</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>'''Brad Dowdy:''' So it's a fountain pen ballpoint line that Pelican has come up with, I think only in the past year or two.
