Fountain Pen - Calligraphy Pens for Writing - Designer Gift Set - Medium Nib - A Business Executive Pen and Case - Instructions Included

Writes well so far, not without some rare skips though, but the nib is only partially responsible for it with the ink holding up the other end of the job. When some pressure is applied, writes fine, and the feed seems to be doing all right; just a general fountain pen quirk that is applicable to all pens of this kind, when you're just starting to write with it. This is not a convenience pen for fast reliable writing. It's a pen for someone who likes to have nice things (in this case nice things made of metal that last for ages~ buy one good thing once and not worry about it). Someone who expects a pen to always write the moment it is in their hand, might do well with a ballpoint pen or a fisher space pen (that said, this pen still usually writes the moment you uncap it, so long as there is ink in it). This pen is for when you want to sit down, relax, shake it a couple times to get the ink to flow (hopefully not dripping pools of ink onto everything), and take your time writing with a nice instrument that you spoiled yourself with (though not costing a car as some gold-nibbed pens do). There is some maintenance involved (rare washing/refilling). This kind of pen is also for someone who wants some color in their writing, as you can make your own ink, or choose from a myriad of colorful offerings on the market. Stiffness is to be expected of a steel nib. Steel barrel and design overall seem well made and aesthetically pleasing. Sits all right in the hand, though very top heavy when posted. I thought I'd hate the plastic insert on the cap and would appreciate a smooth metal finish much more, and that maybe that plastic bit is justified if it can be used as a stillus pen, but alas~ it looks all right though. Ruins the overall color scheme and metal body somewhat, but is bearable, and doesn't look ugly. Not sure what the grip is made of (hopefully also steel, but quite possibly plastic), but it's comfortable enough and doesn't seem too slippery when compared to my parker jotter ballpoint. There are lots of turns to go through when taking the pen apart, and it doesn't seem terribly secure when it's screwed on (easily rotates in the hand), but it's all right. The silicone ring on the inside of the cap will also hopefully last and not disintegrate after a while, which would make the pen impossible to close.. I don't think that would happen for some years though. Anyway, now I have a steel ballpoint pen, mechanical pencil, and this fountain pen (left some pens on the other side of the world, not finding them when I moved >.>...), so I'm looking forward to not dealing with disgusting disintegrated, slipping rubber grips and chipping paint with yet again disgusting surface underneath said paint, of cheap pens and pencils, for years.The case is nice; the pen is nice. Not a flashy expensive weird ridiculous looking pen, but an aesthetically pleasing instrument. One of the better looking pens I could find on amazon, and it is a little bigger than I expected, but just as good looking as in the photos. It holds long international cartridges so far as I am aware (I'm using short ones I had with me and ordered a 50-pack of black stubby cartridges to last me a while), not all pens do. Given it is made of metal, still do pay attention and try not to drop it on its nib, or you will have trouble getting the prongs back together, and making the pen write consistently ever again (lest you want to seek out a specialist to put your pen back in working order; I dropped my nice "batman" parker pen once and it never wrote well since). If I ever get to it, I may upload a photo or two with this pen next to my parker jotter for size comparison, and update this review with any more pertinent information.Update as of 12.14.17: I am very happy with this pen. Good writing instrument.

No complaints here.Upon opening the product packaging, I was quite impressed with the logo-embossed black leatherette case I was presented with. The presentation certainly affords praise, and the quality introduction is moreover followed through with an ivory-colored felt-lined interior of which the pen was held in place by an elastic band concealed under a decorative strip of ivory-colored ribbon.The Pen itself (Stainless Steel) reflects quality craftsmanship, as was advertised. The physical weight of it feels pleasant (IMO)—it doesn’t feel featherlight, but it doesn’t feel too “weighty” either.The design of the cap is such that removing and replacing it is done with relative ease. It certainly feels securely fastened when attached and doesn’t invite doubts of it falling off—say, in a shirt pocket, or travel/computer bag— for any reason. The cap does present quite an audible “click” when snapping it on. I would equate the decibel level to that of an ordinary hand-operated stapler. In owning several removable-cap pens, I would rate it on the louder end of the spectrum— fine for everyday business settings, perhaps not so much when light sleepers are nearby (in that event, you may need to Cap the pen strategically to muffle the sound).On my initial use of the pen, engaging the disposable ink cartridge was relatively easy. A link to instructions on how to do so is provided on a product card, which was included with the pen. Specific instructions were not directly included along with the product, so if you are unfamiliar with how to operate any of the cartridges, or need tips on pen use, bear in mind you will need to have an available connection to the internet to view the online instructionals.Writing QualityThe writing quality of this Scribe sword pen is very nice. The nib feels firm, the ink flows steadily and doesn’t bleed when lagging along the paper surface—as some other fountain pens I have used tend to do. Overall, it’s an enjoyable writing experience.Final ThoughtsAll-in-all I would highly recommend this pen to anyone in the market for a fountain pen. It could serve as an everyday fountain pen or a pen you keep on hand for special occasions (that is, unless you decide to work up to something on the more pricier end of the fountain pen spectrum). The pen’s quality, the writing enjoyment and product presentation (i.e. packaging) certainly make it something to consider if you’re looking to give someone a classy gift on a budget (graduation, birthday, promotion, etc.) My recommendation if you plan on giving this pen as a gift: wrap the pack of ink cartridges separately, as this will allow the pen to be displayed in all its glory when the gift recipient opens the leatherette case for the first time (First impressions are everything, are they not).This Scribe Sword Fountain with Ink is definitely a great value for the money.

So this pen looks great. It’s all metal and feels good in the hand. There is a cheap plastic black dot that snags on my shirt making it have a couple fibers hang off it. That’s the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.This pen does not come with any ink. So you will want to buy some with it. You can buy liquid ink in a jar to dip the tip of the pen in it and twist the refillable cartridge to fill the pen. After I cleaned mine off after filling I left it pointing down for about an hour. It didn’t write. I waited over night and it still didn’t write. I had to shake the pen to start the ink flowing. The writing is a little heavy on the ink and sometimes can go threw normal paper. Just wanted to mention that for anyone signing documents to place a paper between sheets.Inside the box there is a business card with an email address for any questions. I have not yet emailed the company yet. But am going to email soon to request the recommended brand of ink.I do wear this pen in my shirt pocket and have not had any issues with ink leaking even inside the cap.Overall I am very happy with this pen.

good item

I purchased this after much research as I wanted to graduate to a fountain pen and did not want a cheap , plastic behinner pen . It arrived today and here is my personal experienceThe black paper box which covers the solid pen case looked worn out which disappointed meThe thick box lacked the finnesse which I expected but was alright ..The pen was shiny , looked like an emperor sitting in that box . Though , I felt the built could have had a better or finer exterior to give it a premium lookStruggled a bit with cartridges but finally managed it by reading though the instructions on their websiteWent through their tutorials on how to write and get ink flowingSat down to writing and after initial patchy ink flowing, it started writing effortlessly like a dreamIt also ,.comes with a converter wherein you can refill directly from the ink bottleOverall, a satisfying experience and I look forward to writing with it

Genuinely fits my scribe sword pen! Ink is a true black that fits perfectly internally with no leaks. Would buy again (but with this big pack it wont be for a while).

This is not a $65 pen. It’s very cheap and is just a baoer 3035 with a slightly different nib.

Bought this pen few weeks ago and can confirm it’s the best fountain pen I had in years even though some of the pens I’ve spent more money on yet I was disappointed.
