Hongdian Black Forest Fountain Pen Medium Nib Classic Design with Converter and Metal Pen Case Set

There's a lot to like about the pen. I got the black version and it has a nice feel in the hand when writing. It's not a light pen so somewhat hefty compared to my other ones which I really appreciate. The all-black body and nib looks very cool too. Filled it with my workhorse Parker royal blue ink and started writing and it is smooth but only after the initial stroke. So you don't get ink flowing through immediately and quite a number of sentences have to be re-written. And obviously once you start trying to sign your name, that's where it all falls apart. So when you do things slow and steady, the pen performs - but when you start going a bit faster, the ink does not flow as one would expect.

Adorei. Minha primeira caneta tinteiro. O custo benefício é ótimo. Já vou comprar uma com ponta Extra Fine.

Linda pluma, pesa un poco, muy manejable, conserva bien la tinta, no se chorrea. La compraría de nuevo sin problema.

Not bad for the price. The phone is heavy and writes smoothly.

Buttery smooth writing with a premium, durable, and simplistic build for under $20. STATIONERY USED: Maruman Mnemosyne N174 (B5 8mm Ruled Notebook). NIB/WRITING PERFORMANCE: The nib provides a smooth writing experience that doesn’t feel toothy or provide feedback. The pen provides a heavy flowing, wet writing experience and provides great line variation (depending on nib size/type). I personally went with the “Medium Point” BUILD & DESIGN: The build of the fountain pen is entirely aluminum (metal), providing a premium, substantial feel compared to plastic builds. It has an overall very durable build and finish that can sustain abuse. The nib is also durable. The overall design is very simplistic, consisting of black all-around (depending on which color you choose) with a scale-like pattern. FILLING SYSTEM: The pen holds ink via the included standard 3.5mm bore converter. This allows someone to fill it up with ink easily, which means it’s beginner friendly. Keep in mind, like any other fountain pen, there is no ink included. OVERALL: The Asvin Hongdian 1861 Black Forest is a simplistic, durable and premium fountain pen that provides great unmatched value for the price.
