KAIGELU 316 Acrylic Celluloid Fountain Pen Fine Nib with Ink Converter, Gray Swirl

I have one Kaigelu 316 pen with an extra-fine nib and I'm very happy with it. It writes a fine dark and wet line while being very smooth. The pen is not too skinny and not too fat a size that most would find comfortable, it is also a good looking pen, so I'm very happy with this pen, I will be ordering another one soon.

Update: The seller contacted me and sent me a new nib, and it writes great. I updated the review to 4 stars from less than that. Good customer service, not so great quality control but it is a very inexpensive pen so...This pen seems to be made of quality materials and has a very solid feeling to it, but it wouldn't write consistently, and many times it wouldn't write at all with any ink I tried in it. I tried everything I could to get it working but nothing helped.I have to say this is the third or fourth Chinese pen I've bought and 3 of them were more or less worthless. I know that Chinese manufacturers are more than capable of producing decent quality at a reasonable price but unless I've been very unlucky they haven't quite gotten there yet with fountain pens.

I love extra fine nibs, and I own a bunch of them. This one is as smooth and fine as some I have that cost ten times as much.

Wow, this is a beautiful well made pen. If I were going to own just one pen to use every day this could be the one. Solid without being too heavy and a joy to write with. Highly recommended.

The pen looks ok except when the cap is screwed on it's not 📳centric with the barrel of the pen. Spend a little extra money and buy a TWSBI. You will be happy you did.

This is a nice pen, long, weighty, the colors are a bit more muted than the photo indicates. It looks like a calico cat's fur. Plus,what doesn't show in the photo is the soft pearlescent sheen over all the barrel that makes it look like gemstone. It's MUCH nicer in the hand than in the photo. Upon filling the pen I found the converter a bit lazy, it took four or five plunges to get the converter even close to capacity. I suspect I"ll be replacing it some time. But it works. It's a heavy pen, like the Duke Bamboo, which I love. I like a nice hefty pen in my hand. It's also long. The metal appointments are goldtone which compliments the calico colors perfectly. the cap screws on securely enough. It posts well. Upon writing with it, I found the nib a bit scratchy for a medium but not terribly so, as to make me avoid using it altogether. I don't know how ink tight it ultimately is, that will take a couple of weeks letting it lie around I guess. But I am very pleased with it's shape, size, and appearance. It writes without skipping, (so far) and regular use will inform me about that characteristic in time. I look forward to testing this handsome tool.

Hard to do better at the cost. Feels good and looks good. A fine alternative to pricier fountain pens.

I have to agree with other reviews about how well this pen looks and feels. It’s very attractive and feels quite sturdy. For the price, the nib is high quality. The pen writes “wet” which is beneficial for script, but not so much for detailed drawing. I’m experiencing the occasional skip, but I anticipate that with more use and nib cleaning this will no longer be an issue. This is the only reason that I didn’t give it five stars, and again, this might improve with time. I have no trouble recommending this fountain pen. It is not often that one can get such a nice pen for so little money.
