Pierre Cardin Kriss -
Pierre Cardin brand in India is marketed by Flair pen company as their top end pens. These two pens namely the Kriss and Masterpiece, both share the same large section and large medium point iridium tipped German nibs and a relatively not so refined desi slide piston converter. Kriss comes with conical flat ended finials while the other one comes with rounded end finials. Writing ergonomics and balance and stance are same for both pens,
The body is constructed of lacquer coated metal tubing, most likely aluminum, judging by the weight or very thin brass. The pen is not heavy compared to its large dimensions. The lacquer coating is provided with fine sparkle metal dust , called satin nickel finish by the maker. Looks good nevertheless. The pen comes in gold colour trim and clip and dual tone 18 KGP nib. Overall this is quite an ornate looking pen. Posting the cap while writing does not affect the balance of the pen, rather somewhat improves the same. This is a choice pen for slow and comfortable writing.
