CLASSIC SPORT Fountain Pen Black with 23 Carat Gold-Plated Steel Nib and Iridium Tip for Ink Cartridges I Sport Fountain Pen 13 cm I Nib: B (Broad)

I love this pen, it is the second pen I have purchased from this company. Anyone who is writing about it "feeling cheap" does not understand the purpose of this pen. The design of this pen is to be small and light so it fits easily in your pocket or for travel. Do not judge the quality of the pen by the weight but in the quality of the nib and how smooth it puts down ink. I like that the cap screws down you you are not at risk of ink leaking out. The wider nib is perfect for writing on card stock that absorbs the ink quickly, this pen glides right over the paper with a smooth line that never fades no matter what direction you write. I would highly recommend this pen to anyone. Well worth the price

I didn't think I'd like this pen as much as I do. I like pens with some heft, this pen is feather light; I like pens that cap with a click, you have to screw this pen's cap on and off; I like pens with big ink cartridges full of black ink; this pen comes with a short cartridge full of Royal Blue; I like pens with strong clips; you have to purchase the clip for this pen separately for a substantial price (in relation to the pen). Lots of negatives. The defense: *This is a pen you travel with, hence its lightness, and the plastic body may look cheap but it seems durable. The lack of metal in it might even get through an airport detector without having to be put on a tray. *It takes just one and a half revolutions to open this pen and you get used to that fast. This should make it less likely to leak, though I think if you take it on a plane you'd be better off taking an extra step and I'm told using any fountain pen in a pressurized cabin is a risky venture. *The pen is from Germany. In Europe, blue ink is more commonly used than in the States. The pen comes with a short cartridge tucked in the barrel that comes out with a few taps. I emptied the blue ink and used a blunt syringe to refill it with Noodler's Bulletproof black ink (I recommend this way of using ink because you save money over cartridges, put a little less plastic in the environment, and have an infinite choice of ink to use). I've written over a dozen full-size pages on one cartridge and it's still going strong. *I'm fine without a clip. When putting a fountain pen aside, you're supposed to have it with the point up, but if you're out and about during the day it should be all right in your pocket. Another reviewer here talked about spending an hour or so preparing the nib to his liking. I've had no problems with it in that regard, but I don't have the standards some might and even though I'm using a heavy ink with a fine point it's flowing smoothly, not scratching or skipping. German manufacturers are known for their excellent quality control, so I doubt the other reviewer got a defective item. Perhaps he's using a different type of paper than I am. When I got it the only thing I didn't like was that the plastic threads squeaked when I screwed and unscrewed them. I put a tiny amount of a graphite on the threads and it's been silent since. It posts well, which is good for me because my hands are on the large side so I needed the extra inches. Have you ever posted a pen and then the clip is on your skin and after awhile it irritates you so you take it off and repost it because it's a fountain pen so you can't just turn the whole pen and you start thinking about the odds of your having posted it that way and then you forget what you were writing about? I have. Not a problem with this clipless pen!

This pen is everything- it’s not inexpensive so it’s asking you to commit to your journaling- but the juicy, delicious way the medium tip writes lets thoughts just flow and somehow helps transmit the practice of living in abundance- yes even the ink in your pen can do that!

I will keep it after all. I was on and off whether if I should return this pen because of how cheap it's made especially if it's expensive. I come to realize why it was made like this. It's lightweight and made out of plastic because it's less weight to carry. Holding it felt amazing even though it feels cheap. Writing on paper was smoother than my Hongdian fountain pen. It's less messy with no leakage. I haven't tried it with a converter, so I can't really tell you if it leaks or not. Though, there's a benefit of cartridge, it won't leak unless it's a defect. And the one it comes with doesn't leak. I must keep using it to see if it still holds up without leaking and broken tip. Those thing happen to cheaper China alternative such as Hongdian. The thing I really love about this pen is the overall design and the color green. It's meant to hold really well while writing. Unless if you have big hands. Easy to use and function pretty good as of now. The only reason I gave it 4 star it's because as someone who doesn't know anything about this brand, I had NO clue that it's made out of plastic. I thought it was aluminum. So, it would be nice to provide the material information either in the title, specification or description. Other than that, best starter pen in the market.

Lovely pen. Compact and writes insanely smoothly especially considering the fine nib and lower price point

Great fountain pens, easy carry and very fluid drawing and writing. Perfect for travel.

Rivedo il precedente giudizio che era negativo: ora che ho riattivato il flusso dopo lavaggio con acqua sto provando la penna e anche a distanza di 4-5 gg di inutilizzo riprende sempre a scrivere senza problemi. Il tratto è grosso ma va bene così. Direi quindi valutazione più che positiva.

Wrights really well, easy to store

Nice thick nib tip and it can be used as an eyedropper pen.
