Parker Vector Standard CT Fountain Pen, Red

Nice Pen for the Price, light blue Color is quite unique experience and quality of the Pen material is really good as well.

Short Review : This is a good entry level pen for rough use. It is made mostly of plastic and is lightweight. Grip section is made of metal without any grooves hence is slippery. I had some issue getting it to start writing. Not the smoothest nib. It includes 3 blue quink ink cartridges but DOES NOT INCLUDE CONVERTER. Detailed Review : (1) In-the box - It includes 1 Parker Vector Pen based on your colour choice(I ordered Orange) and a small pack of 3 Parker cartridges with Blue Ink (Parker Quink Blue ink). There was no converter in the package so you will have to buy it separately. (2) The Pen - The Pen is mostly made up of a plastic. Therefore it is prone up scratches so remember to keep it away from metal and sharp objects. The clip is made up of metal with the usual parker arrow shape. The end of the barrel is also made of metal. The grip section is made up of metal with no grooves or indents. It is this slippery and you might want to avoid this pen if you have sweaty hands. The cap is a clip on type, not the most secure clip and i believe that eventually with use it will become very very lose. So you might want to take that into consideration before buying. I estimate that you can use this pen for a good 6 months without having the cap fall off. (3)Writing experience - As it did not come with a converter, I manually emptied one of the cartridges and refilled it with Waterman Audacious Red ink by using a 2ml syringe. I initially had some trouble getting the pen to start writing and it was a bit on the drier side. I had to spread the tines a bit to get a good flow. If this is a general problem alot of people are facing then I do not recommend this for beginners as you may end up hating fountain pens. The nib wasn't the smoothest but with my experience of parker pens, I'd say it just needs to be seasoned. It should be smoother after some writing. Would i recommend this pen for beginners - Absolutely no. However if they are low on budget then I guess this is a good option Build - 2/5 Writing - 3/5 Value for money - 5/5 Value as a gift to someone - 2/5

Really good product loved it❤❤❤

I have been ordering this same pen. But this time the quality of the body was really poor. Highly disappointed

The product is writing clean,neat and good

Parker has become so unreliable it is sad. 30 years ago, Parker symbolised quality. Today, Luxar has really compromised on the very USP of Parker. I was happy to find a Vector for around 250 rupees. Little did I know that they have made such serious compromises with the quality of Parker pens. The body is made of very very poor quality plastic. They have even stopped giving the free converter which came fitted with the pen. Now, coming to the worst thing that they have done...the iridium tip, which made Parker nibs one of the best entry level luxury pens, has been degraded. I am attaching a photo of the old Parker Vector nib and comparing the new one...hope you can see what I mean... Ordered a replacement hoping that this was a defective unit...

Item is good But only one unit .. .it is showing in list 2 नग (red)

Excellent product, value for money but in same price you should give metal body

I wanted an orange pen just for very daily use, so low price point. Having used Parker with great satisfaction since the past 50 years, i felt safe buying a Parker product. The photo on Amazon looked fine, but the product that arrived was an extreme cheap product and the package said; “Only for sale in Nepal and India”. I could have bought a much better Japanese product for 75% of the price. Huge disappointment in Parker.

Parker always maintains its quality. I am happy that I bought it.

Excellent

Writes beautifully, great colour!

I cannot afford expensive pens. This one writes very well with its fine point. Enjoy writing in my diary with it, & at $20, you can't beat the price.
