I have been using an Octave gel pen since I was a school-going child, and I have continued to use it. It has perfect flow and grip is too good .it gives me good handwriting flow.It has premium design that feel confortable in hand and feels confortable to hold for long time.the grip is soft and doesnot strain my hand even after using for long period.overall, its a great pen for daily use. I would recommend it to other who writes frequently
