Reviews around write (4.72 of 5)

  • I really like this pen, primarily due to the smooth writing, fine nib
  • Had I realized just how smooth and easy writing could be with a fountain pen, I would have switched over from gel pens years ago
  • Although, sometimes when I'm writing with it, some extra ink leaks out, smudging my writing and making it look like I pressed too hard on the paper.
  • Fine nib and smooth writing.. also weightbof the pen is just fine.. not very light but not too heavy also.
  • fantastic every day pen, smooth writing and great hand feel

Reviews around point (4.63 of 5)

  • I love how fine the point it, and it writes very smoothly
  • Writing is crisp and fairly effortless for a fine point pen.
  • Seems nicely built and looks good, but the ink flow is awful (I have tried two different inks so far) and the point is terribly scratchy
  • The fine point on this pen is perfect for everyday writing
  • The only issue is that it can be somewhat temperamental with the ink plugging up, especially after changing cartridges or not writing for a bit, and trying to clear blockages can easily result in a big mess o' ink everywhere.

Reviews around price (4.53 of 5)

  • And at such a great price, I would highly recommend this to those just breaking into the fountain pen world
  • With its cheap price tag and the provided single ink cartridge, I figured I could dip my toe into fountain pens and see if it stuck
  • I got this to see if I'd like using a fountain pen and it is very good, especially for the great price
  • They look nice and the price is great, but they leak all over the place.
  • This is a really nice product considering the cheap price

Reviews around line (4.51 of 5)

  • * Thicker/heavier line on the upstroke* Proprietary Cartridge & Converter size (Platinum pens have the same
  • Great pen, nice fine lines which I love, nice balance for my hands
  • Bottom line: This won't work for all writing styles/grips, but I love how easily the pen and ink flows
  • They write smoothly, and never have problems delivering a consistent line.
  • This pen has a really nice weight in my hand, and a smooth ink line

Reviews around flow (4.26 of 5)

  • I like how it feels in my hand, I like the way it looks, and I love the smooth flow of ink.
  • Awful flow with the converter it came with and the converter I ordered.
  • Terrible ink flow and a nib that just won't keep straight.
  • They both stopped flowing before their first cartridges were empty and I could never recover them
  • The only issue is that it can be somewhat temperamental with the ink plugging up, especially after changing cartridges or not writing for a bit, and trying to clear blockages can easily result in a big mess o' ink everywhere.

Reviews around way (4.14 of 5)

  • This product came to me with a failed refill cartridge 😞 and no reliable way to store the converter or an extra refill
  • but sometimes i find that the converter that the pen comes with does not fill all the way and also sometimes the pen will leak excess ink through the nib
  • This is my first fountain pen, and I really love the way it writes
  • The pen feels great in the hand and extended writing sessions are not so fatiguing as with my super fat cigar shaped fountain pens, which I also love
  • You get ink on your fingers from time to time, but I love the way it writes.

Reviews around quality (4.12 of 5)

  • Such a great price for a good quality beginner fountain pen
  • For general writing on poor quality paper, this isn't a huge deal
  • It's a very good quality pen and it also comes with a case!
  • If you are looking for a good, quality pen at a VERY good price, look no further.
  • Poor quality ink that came with the pen should be changed out but other than that it is a good buy for the price.

Reviews around paper (2.38 of 5)

  • Only problem is that the fine nib is scratchy, but I use cheap paper
  • It doesn't skip or scrape, even on cheap notebook paper
  • To truly get an extra fine line, you need to be using top quality paper.
  • the provided (branded) ink doesn't bleed a lot even on cheap paper
  • one problem I have with most of my pens is feathering (ink bleed) on cheap paper.

Reviews around bite (2.28 of 5)

  • At first the pen bled a bit which caused to get in my hands
  • Pen has a nice, solid feel in the hand due to the brass construction, looks respectable, and has a smooth Pilot nib that puts down a fine, moderately wet line and has a bit of give to it (not enough to call it flex, but it gives a softer feel when writing than some of the hard German nibs so common in most other moderately priced fountain pens) and handles just about any ink you throw at it like a champ
  • Cheap starter pen, if does bleed a little bit sometimes but not enoigj to ever stop using it.
  • In an age of automatic digital connected wearable voice activated everything, there's something almost primally satisfying about writing on real paper with a pen that requires a little bit of effort and skill but rewards you with a much better experience if you're willing to try
  • I am a bit of a pen snob, collector, appreciator... and this pen loves up to all the positive reviews

Reviews around hand (2.24 of 5)

  • I use to have huge ink spills on my bag, hands always stained with ink but not with this one
  • The pen is so good but the ink gets out pretty easily and smudges my hands
  • The pen feels great in the hand and extended writing sessions are not so fatiguing as with my super fat cigar shaped fountain pens, which I also love
  • fantastic every day pen, smooth writing and great hand feel
  • (Side note: the medium nib is more like what America defines as a fine point nib, so this pen is suited for those with heavy-handed writing as well!)

Reviews around issue (1.00 of 5)

  • The only issue I've had is the nib leaking and an unfortunate mishap with the converter.
  • I've used it for a couple of months now and have had no issues with the nib becoming clogged or needing a cleaning (yet).FYI in the picture 1 = 60lb card stock, 2= recycled post-it note, 3= index card, 4= lightweight cream copy paper
  • But again, was hoping this wasn't a fountain pen issue, rather a cheap fountain pen issue
  • However my issues and more so your issues with this pen will be invisible
