Review: Best value I’ve found, but clip is weak - Edited December 2025: After two months, the clip broke off... This was my EDC pen, but I need the clip in order to carry it! ———— Original review in October 2025: The nib writes pretty smoothly, but this EF nib writes almost as large as Lamy Safari F nib. I did have a hard time getting the ink to flow for the first time, but after that I’ve had no issues. The case material feels smooth and premium, but it did come with a small scratch. Fine for me since I’ll be daily carrying this, but might be a turn off to some. The weight and balance is fine unposted, if a bit light, but writing feels extra nice with the cap posted. Overall, extremely good value, especially considering the built in converter. I’ll probably get a second one in another color to try out some of my other inks.
Review: Perfect Everyday Fountain Pen for Art, Travel and Writing - I was looking for a fountain pen to keep in my art/travel bag, and this HongDian pen turned out to be exactly what I needed. It’s not too big or too small, not too heavy or too light—just the perfect balance in both size and weight. The metal body gives it a sturdy, high-quality feel and the overall design is clean and aesthetically pleasing. One of the biggest perks is that it comes with its own converter, allowing you to use any ink you like. I’ve noticed that many fountain pens require you to buy a converter separately, so having it included is a great bonus. I also appreciated the wide variety of colors and nib options to choose from: everything from extra fine to broad, plus the fude nib. I went with the matte black design and the fude nib, which has a bent tip that makes it easy to achieve expressive line variation from thin to thick. It’s a fantastic option for sketching, calligraphy or general writing. If you’re looking for a well-constructed, stylish fountain pen that won’t break the bank, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this pen smooth when writing ?**
A: I am amazed at how easy it is to write or draw with this pen. It's a great purchase and so affordable. I highly recommend these and have purchased another to use with a different color ink.

**Q: Can you use standard international repalcement ink cartridges?  I cannot find a listing for 3.4mm ink cartridges.**
A: Not for me!
I'm sorry, but the 3.4 ink cartridges they sell along with these pens do not work for me.  I have not been able to force any into the barrel.  The pen itself is fine - my favorite among six I have -, and the refiller cartridge works fine, but I also feel I need some spare cartridges.  Can anybody tell me exactly which ones work?  I ordered the Asvine Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges Black Color, Set of 30 Refill Ink Cartridges, 3.4 mm Bore Diameter, which are sold as a companion

**Q: What ink bootle do we use for this pen? the waterman 50ml ink bottle was recommend for this so is it the right one?**
A: The question is imprecise. Any fountain pen ink is suitable for use in this pen. Waterman, Diamine, J. Herbin, Robert Oster, etc., etc. Any bottle that says Fountain Pen Ink will do.

**Q: What is the pen's metal casing like, is it durable?**
A: I have a black color pen and use it daily. Over time, the color coating will wear off (in small batches and especially around the area where the cap closes at the body), and reveals a bronze-like color beneath. At other scratched areas at the top of the cap, the underlying color is a metallic gray. But it still looks nice and I continue to use as one of my many daily carries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely worth it! Beginner friendly in function and price!
*by J***I on April 1, 2021*

I'm a lefty, new to fountain pens, and had no issue starting right up with this one! I bought the "fine" tipped nib, and 30 (minimum quantity available) of the dark green ink cartridges in one order (other reviewers didn't seem to read the description stating it does not come with ink) I absolutely didn't want to mess around with the included converter and a bottle of ink, just not my idea of a good time! There aren't really any instructions, but common sense and a simple diagram on the cartridge box really is all you need to figure out that the little hollow end of the cartridge, goes into the back of the pen nib assembly! I don't understand why other reviewers docked stars and complained about lack of clarity... Its a pen, there's only so many places the ink can go! Once that was all set, it was off to the races! I was worried that being a lefty, I'd smudge the ink, but their branded ink dries so fast I quickly found I didn't need to worry. The Dark Green is gorgeous, really impressive when you're looking at a full page of it scribbled down on paper. It doesn't seem to bleed, although I am super careful about never letting the nib sit in one spot too long. The pen nib itself is the perfect level of smooth, and scritchy in my opinion. When I write with a fountain pen , I wanted that little scratch to the experience and it provides a perfect balance. I'm not worried about tearing the paper or anything, it's smooth and consistent. The flow rate seems just right, I've not had it go dry or had it unable to keep up. When I first saw I had to buy a minimum of 30 cartridges, I thought, "is this really worth it... Am I ever going to use all this?!" But after writing pages and pages with the pen, and using it at work as well, yup, worth it. I've gone through just under half a cartridge in 5 days. Probably 10-15 pages worth, and a few dozen signatures and scrawled sticky-notes. So, 30 cartridges for around $11 bucks is well worth it! I adore the emerald green ink, but if you want variety you can but the variety pack. You'll need it if you're an avid writer. The pen construction is awesome. Heavy, solid, but not cumbersome. The nib feels great on paper, the cap clicks on both the back and over the tip securely. You can even buy replacement nibs! I didn't realize that until I looked at the sellers other shop items. I think that's super cool at this price point! Some reviewers complained that the "Black" pen isn't ALL black... The cap and the back end where the cap posts are a gorgeous dark brown, very nearly black metallic color. The pen is called the FOREST SERIES, so the color combo fits well! Its sophisticated and classy in my opinion. If they read the description, they'd have seen they need to buy the MATTE BLACK model for an all black color scheme. What a weird thing to dock stars for anyway! All in all, for the price, this one is worth it. Well constructed, easy use, quality finishes, great performance, all without tossing a ton of cash away. For beginners, this is a great entry point, I don't think you'll be disappointed!
