Faber-Castelle-motion Fountain Pen, Pure Black - Broad

I own many expensive fountain pens, and this is one of the best values. Feels solid. Never a dry start. Smooth and fun to write with. Very durable, finish is resistant to scratches or nicks. Faber Castell nibs are consistently great writers. I'd rate it a 6 out of 5!

Faber-Castell is known for technical pens, and as an architec, I use their products. They also make general purpose fountain pens. This is the second one I've bought, and it's truly a pleasure to write with. I bought the medium tip nib. It's quite heavy and I don't use it with the cap secured on the barrel like I do with other fountain pens for balance. This one is a stubby cigar and feels nice in the hand, rests comfortably whatever your writing style. Whether you write using the pen almost perpendicular, or like me with the pen almost at 45-degrees to the paper, with the barrel closer along my thumb. The ink flows incredibly smoothly and there's no stutter no matter how fast you write. I have done some small sketches with it, and the ink flow is fast enough for even quick strokes. I have another identical but different style (pear wood black) Faber-Castell pen, so this is my second pen. Why did I buy it? Because I knew that the writing style would be great and it's a pen that I can carry around - and leave my pear wood style pen at home.

Authentic piece of art as far as fountain pens.I lov. the flow & the weight.I plan to buy @ least two more.Worth it! M.

OK, so I have been on a bit of a pen splurge lately, but I could not resist this one at the price I paid for it.This brings us to the E-Motion Medium nib Faber-Castell fountain pen. What it lacks in fancy, superfluous packaging it makes up for with smooth, even writing that is a real pleasure. I am amazed how well this one does everything it is supposed to. It also has a very good clip (something I don't usually look at that much, but this one is solid). The weight from finial to finial is impressive, it posts well, and it is simply a really great pen. I recommend the Faber-Castell E-Motion if you are looking for a fairly low cost workhorse pen.

The pen is fantastic, there is a rubbery feeling to the touch, interesting how the company was able to achieve this (assuming that no coating was used) as the pen is anodized.It gives you a nice heavy yet balance feeling to the touch.Despite the heavier touch it is very comfortable to write with.On the plus side a ink converter is included with the pen!I have rated with four (not five) stars since there is room for improvement on the packaging.I am in with being practical but Faber Castle could do better, very poor packaging for such a rich pen.

One of the best most underrated pens imo, the nib is so smooth and wet out of the box, doesn't skip, doesn't hard start, good seal, easy to remove nib + feed and the nib is the same size across most of the Faber-castell/Graf von Faber-castell product lines. This is an experience you should expect to have, especially when you get into the next level options. I would highly recommend you buy it and at least try it out.One thing I have to mention is that I did receive this in their plain green box and not the design box you'll see in pictures and reviews. I have no idea if it was just the single one I got or they actually have units like this out in the market, but I received a fantastic pen nonetheless.

The pen is heavy and looks unusual, but it is well designed and built, with a good balance and an excellent nub. Smooth and reliable, consistent and decently wet. Overall an excellent pen.

The nib is smooth. The barrel is a bit shorter than expected but no issues there. It’s metal and it’s not heavy for me.
