Fountain Pen-Smooth Writing Metal Water Pen with Gift Case Fine Nib Consistent Ink Flow Luxury Pen for Nice Pens Includes a Calligraphy Nib 8 Cartridges a Ink Refill Converter(Grey)

I recall from my childhood that these were mandatory to use in my Arabic classes, because it helped improve calligraphy and handwriting. I haven’t used one probably since high school, finally decided to get one, really really good quality and comes with multiple heads, as well as replacement cartridges, premium feel, no issues with leak leaking, and easy to use. The quality for the price point is very good. Will consider in the future if need to replace.

I was very impressed with the way this pen was boxed. It was nicely done on the outside, and the pen and parts on the inside were well positioned and secured. It’s been so long since I used a fountain pen, and I was a little bit unsure about how to put the cartridge in initially. I didn’t want to cause damage by forcing the cartridge into the pen. Once I had the courage just to press down a little harder, the ink flowed into the nib. However, I ran a little warm water over the nib first to get the ink flowing. I’m very happy with this writing implement even though it is a little bit heavy for me. I like it so well that I am ordering a second one as a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law. He has been a journalist all his career, and I know he is going to enjoy riding with a fountain pen again.

I do need to preface this review by saying this was my first fountain pen ever.I use this pen daily at work and it seems to works fine, though it does write a bit inconsistently. To be fair though not sure if this is due my inexperience with fountain pens rather than any true fault of the pen itself. I did not rinse the nib prior to initial use which I've since found is a thing that may have contributed to the inconsistent ink flow initially. Flow has continued to improve with my continued use so I do tend to attribute most writing issues with my inexperience. Additionally the feel of the pen varies quite a bit, sometimes gliding smooth as butter across the paper and other times feeling more like a rough pencil. Again this could be due my inexperience with fountain pens.The pen comes with two converters in addition to a few cartridges which was a nice surprise, though I'm still not sure of the differences between the two converters other than size, but maybe I'm missing something there.My only real criticism of the pen is the finish where you place your fingers gets all chipped up from the cap. I've been using the pen daily and it is initially a very sharp looking pen but it now has dings all over the metal finish making it much less attractive looking. It still looks pretty good with the cap on, though I've noticed the metal finish on the band had also begun to show signs of chipping.

Writes smooth! Nice weight and size.

Ink quality is beautiful and the pen itself is gorgeous. It is very nicely weighted and writes well. This pen is perfect for those just getting into fountain pens as it is inexpensive and nice quality.

I loved the style of the pen and the first two refills went wonderfully. However, when refilling for the third time with the included ink cartridges it leaked all over my hand while refilling somehow. Then it wouldn't write. Assuming it was an issue with the cartridge I tried several others over the course of the next two weeks. I even left it sitting point down hoping it just needed time to fill and be ready to use, but no luck. It wouldn't write unless I shook it very hard which would of course splatter some ink spots, then it would write maybe a word or two before stopping. Beautiful pen, but unfortunately it did not last very long before it stopped working with the refill cartridges.

This pen is not only beautiful it also writes as good or better than the higher priced version. Highly recommend.

I’m an amateur calligrapher. This pen is not necessarily meant for that purpose. But. I am totally impressed with this thing. Cartridge popped right in. Started writing immediately. Even flow. Smooth. Doesn’t seem to leak (so far). Really nice pen under $20 bucks.
