Hongdian Carbon Fiber Fountain Pen Fine Point, Slim Style with Converter and Metal Pen Case, The Light of Hope Serise

I've been using this for work and it's been doing great! Writes well and I love the feel and the weight to it. I've been wanting to move towards a pen that I can refill as I'm tired of having to buy new pens when they run out. This was a perfect solution. It's beautiful and comes for a reasonable price. I'll have to see how it holds up in the coming months but I feel confidant in its durability. There is some smearing from time to time but that could be the type of ink I'm using. I'm new to fountain pens so that I don't know how to gage. Nonetheless I'd say it's a great starter pen. Super easy to fill and use!

I wasn't expecting much for the price, but the Silver Birch Forest Aluminum Fountain Pen completely blew me away. This thing writes like a dream—smooth, precise, and with that satisfying glide you usually only get from pens triple the price. The **extra fine nib** is perfect for detailed writing, and the ink flow is consistent without any annoying skips or blobs.On top of that, the **build quality is surprisingly solid**—the aluminum body feels premium in the hand, and the included **converter and metal case** make it feel like a luxury item. And let’s be honest: this pen **looks cool as hell**. The sleek, forest-metal finish gives serious "I write bestselling novels in my spare time" energy.For the price? It’s a **ridiculous steal**. Whether you're a pen nerd or just want to look sharp signing receipts, this one's a no-brainer.

I have many fountain pens, including Lamy Safaris, vintage Watermans, Parkers, and newer Sailors and Platinums. I saw this pen on a Reddit post & decided to try it.As I do with all new fountain pens (fp), I flushed this with distilled water. There was a slight blue tinge on the 1st flush (normal with manufacturing dip testing for quality assurance ). Once dried, I filled it with iroshizuku syo-ro ink.It flowed beautifully from the start. For a <EF> nib, it’s very smooth, although I use Clarireontaine paper regularly. This <EF> is more consistent with a Japanese < F/M> imo.After letting it sit for a week unused, it wrote just as smoothly without skipping or hard stops.I don't post the cap as I have smaller hands. The weight and size are balanced in my hand. It feels heavier than many of my pens, but it is not uncomfortable - even after long writing sessions.This would be a great starter pen, but I plan to rotate mine among my daily users - Lamy 2000, Platinum 3776, and Lamy Safari.A final note to those new to fountain pens - you need only light pressure. Different than a ballpoint pen.

I got both the Stainless Steel and the Silver Pens. I am pleased with both of them; they have a lovely weight and write smoothly. The Xtra Fine Nib writes just fantastic and doesn't skip or anything. My only major complaint is that the friction fit of the cap on my stainless steel pen is now almost non-existent; multiple times, the cap has come off while just sitting in my pocket or in its case, and the cap just slides off. The other pen doesn't have this issue, it is only the stainless one. Overall, I'd say it is worth the money. In terms of budget fountain pens, the Jinhao Shark will still wipe the floor with this one, but if you are looking for something cheap and nice this fits the bill.TLDR: Great for the price. Looks great, writes great; be warry of ordering the stainless one and if you do, keep an eye on the cap snap.

I appreciate the pen's smooth writing speed, quality, and attractive appearance. Do you have to push down to make your ballpoint pen work, I find it easy to use and a good first fountain pen for beginners. The sleek metal body has a ideal grip and produces thin lines with little effort. Feels solid construction, reliable, and well-made pen that feels solid in the hand. Good value for money, ideal ink flow.A brand new pen , that never had ink before. I would go outside and flick the pen to get the ink to shoot out then write on paper and let it REST pointing down towards the nib for three three days or more to allow for ink to collect for proper flow and you'll have an EXCELLENT pen that you'll be happy with you never have to push hard on the paper ever. The cap can come off and be attached to the back end of the pen. I enjoy dark green color. All ink is on your own purchase. I enjoyed the videos on how to add ink to the pen for refills.Enjoy, thanks
