The box and instruction manual will be folded and shipped together. The guide pipe is slightly bent. It's only a little, so it won't affect its use. The full metal body has a substantial feel and a luxurious look, with knurling for a non-slip, stable grip, precise and steady writing, and a satisfying, consistent writing feel. I bought it around the summer of 2025, but it didn't fit my hand well, so I didn't use it much. I've only used it a few times. The grip part is in relatively good condition. Please experience a new world! Please consider purchasing it.
