Scriveiner Personalized Luxury EDC Fountain Pen (Medium), Stunning Matt Black Pocket Pen, Chrome Finish, Schmidt German Nib, Best Engraved Fountain Pen Gift Set for Men & Women, Name Engraving

I bought the "Black with Gold" option with the Fine nib. It weighs about 27 grams with the cap and 13 grams uncapped or unposted. (As a comparison, my Kaweco AL Sport pen weighs 23 and 14 grams respectively.) It is made of aluminium that is electroplated and covered with some protective coating. It looks gorgeous. At first it was too slippery in my hand, but over a number of days it started to feel alright. It is not yet as comfortable in the hand as my 30 years old, like new Harley-Davidson -- I had two of them and this one I had not used until about a month ago. My previous favorite pens were the above mentioned Harley-Davidson and an equally old Feraud. Both have a medium (or a little wider) nib and slide extremely smoothly on paper. When I want thinner, more precise lines, I turn the pens 180 degrees around and write with the back side of the nib. Both of these pens slide perfectly in this reverse mode. The Fine Schmidt nib of the Scriveiner writes a little thinner than the other two in the reverse mode, slides perfectly on paper and is a pleasure to write with. Even though I have absolutely no need for an even thinner line, I tried to write with the reversed nib, but it gets very scratchy. I find the length of the unposted Scriveiner (11.6 cm) perfect in my hand, just like the Harley-Davidson's 11.4 cm. Both take the 73 mm LONG standard WATERMAN INK CARTRIDGES -- this is a major advantage in my usage and this fact does not seem to be advertised, at least not clearly enough. Of course, one can use the widely available 38 mm standard cartridges in both and the Scriveiner comes with a very well engineered 'converter' included. Feraud and Kaweco are shorter (10 cm each) and they need to be posted for comfortable writing. (Capped, they are all about the same length.) Speaking of ink. I wanted to match the black Scriveiner with the Intense Black ink of Waterman and use the Serenity Blue ink of Waterman in my dark blue Harley-Davidson. Unfortunately, the black ink of Waterman does not flow well in the Fine feather/nib of my Scriveiner. Every now and then I have to press relatively harder on the paper to get the ink flowing again! On a hunch, I swapped the inks around and put the blue cartridge in the Scriveiner. Now it is faultless!!! The added benefit is that the black ink in Harley-Davidson leaves a slightly less wet line on the paper -- just the way I like it. AN UPDATE: About two months later, I bought the "Silver with Gold" option with the Fine nib. This is made of brass, as opposed to the aluminium "Black with Gold". The aluminium and brass pens weigh about 27 and 49 grams with the cap and 13 and 30 grams uncapped or unposted respectively. Interestingly, the "silver" version is less slippery between my fingers than the black version. Otherwise, both have identical dimensions. What I did not know when I wrote the original review is that this pen can carry two (2!) 38 mm standard cartridges simultaneously -- one connected to the ink feeder in the normal position and the other in the reverse direction behind it. I read this in another review by chance. I very much like this feature, because when one cartridge runs empty I simply switch them around immediately and replace the empty cartridge later at a convenient time. None of my other pens accommodates two 38 mm cartridges simultaneously! FURTHER UPDATE: Another 5 months passed and I bought the brass pen with fine nib. Now I have a collection of three pens. I do not like to have my brass pens covered with fake paint decoration and lacquer. I prefer the look and feel of bare polished brass. So, I removed the lacquer with very fine sandpaper and polished the pen with a universal metal polishing paste. The only place I did not touch was the grip section, because polished brass is more slippery than the lacquer of Scriveiner pens. The result is shown in the attached photos in the middle of the chrome and black anodised pens. I found that the Schmidt stainless steel F nib wrote a little too wet for my taste and replaced it with a gold plated EF Schmidt nib. It writes now a little less wet, but I cannot see the line being any thinner. Maybe it is just a little thinner, but not by much. On the positive side, it is not scratchy at all. From the point of view of writing or gripping comfort, my favourite version is now the gold-look-alike polished brass pen, followed closely by the chrome and gold version. The black anodised aluminium pen is still too slippery (and a little too light) for my taste. But this is just a relative assessment within the Scriveiner group. All three are excellent pens. Hopefully the LAST UPDATE: Another 4 months passed and I could not resist buying the copper pen with fine stainless steel nib. I undertand that this too is actually made of brass. I replaced the fine nib with an extra fine gold-plated Schmidt nib assembly that I bought over the internet. It looks luxurious and is a pleasure to write with. I have not removed the lacquer yet, because I do not want to have to remember which of the two brass pens has which ink. Speaking of the inks. I have now tried a number of inks from different countries and manufacturers. My two favourites are now the Mont Blanc Royal Blue and the Mont Blanc Amethyst Purple in their delightful 60 ml inkwells. Also, I am using the Scriveiner converters in all of my Scriveiner pens. They are the only ones that are securely screwed into the pen and never come loose.

This is my first fountain pen and I absolutely love it. I’ll write for hours and the time flies by. The weight is perfect and it’s absolutely beautiful. It doesn’t dry out either. This is a quality fountain pen for a great price.

I ordered and received a fountain pen with Fine nib. It was very scratchy, so I sent it back. Thanks to Amazon for a great return policy. Update: I'm updating my review from 1 star to 5 stars. Catherine from Scriveiner Customer support reached out to me after learning I'd had a bad experience with the pen. Even though I'd sent the original pen back for full refund, she insisted on sending me a replacement. Unbelievable, amazing, unprecedented emphasis on customer satisfaction. I'm happy to report that the new pen arrived with the requested Fine Nib. I inked it with Parker Quink and it writes as smoothly and consistently as any fountain pen I've ever used. It is an outstanding writing instrument. The capped pen is 4-3/4" long. Uncapped is 4-5/8" long. Posted, 5-1/2" long. Weight with full converter is 31.2 grams (no cap), 49.4 grams (w/ cap). Grip diameter is 0.374" (where I grip it, in the concave section just above the nib), and purchase is nice, no slipping, good friction. Body diameter is 0.425" and the cap diameter is 0.512". The cap attaches and detaches with 1-1/2 rotations and screws on to both cover the nib and to post. Writing is comfortable with cap off or posted, but I find it slightly more comfortable when posted. Flow is nice and wet. My ONLY request for future models is to improve the clip. There is a little ball on the underside of the clip. I do not like clips with the little ball. They are all difficult to put into and remove from a shirt pocket. Now this pen is pretty hefty (which I love), so I don't plan to put it in a shirt pocket, so this is picking a nit. If Scriveiner changes that clip ball, this pen is now six stars instead of just 5. Thank you Scriveiner for an excellent product, and even better customer support. You have a lifelong customer.

My first fountain pen was the Kaweco Sport. I loved the compact style and the ability to throw it in my pocket and not worry about it leaking. Last year, I was starting a new phase in life and thought I would commemorate it with a nicer pen, found this one and it fit the bill nicely. It wrote smoothly, was balanced, looked classy, and had some heft while keeping the compact size and the security to carry it the same as my favorite Kaweco. While my pen collection grew, I kept this one as my daily driver and it never left my notebook. From the beginning I noticed that when I would twist off the cap it would slightly open the ink chamber as well, I thought it was user error, but it kept occurring. Last month I contacted the company to see if there was a quick fix to keep this from happening. With in 10 minutes, a representative contacted me back, diagnosed the issue and started the process of sending me a new pen. My new one works perfectly and has no signs of the same issue. I love the pen, but this company has done even better standing behind their products. Additional Thoughts: In the pen forums, I have seen many saying that this is just a repackaged and marked up cheap pen and to just get the Hongdian at half the price. While they are similar, they are completely different. I do like the rubber ring at one of the threads to keep it better sealed, but otherwise, the EDC is a much petter pen. This became clear when I accidentally washed a Hongdian in my pocket the other day and when I pulled the it out, my hand was covered in ink. Water was dripping from the finial and when I opened it up and blew into the cap, I found out it was not air tight. I tried this on my Scriveners and they didn't budge a bit. I feel much more comfortable carrying these on a daily basis.

Pros: 1. Great and smooth F nib, writes well 2. Screwed-on converter that makes it easy to fill the ink and carry the pen without rattling 3. Chrome finish is sleek Cons: 1. Hope they can have more designs or metal material options in the future (eg. titanium or more) 2. The logo engraving on the top of the cap is not very clear, however acceptable at its price range

Schon seit längerer Zeit habe ich diesen Füllfederhalter im Auge, nun habe ich mich dazu entschlossen ihn zu kaufen. Er kommt in einem sehr ansprechenden, wertigen Karton mit einer weiteren Papierumhüllung. Der Füller sitzt auf einem Kissen im Karton, darunter findet sich noch ein Päckchen mit zwei Standard Tintenpatronen. Ausserdem ein Poliertuch, welches auch nötig ist, der Füller ist ein Magnet für Fingerabdrücke. Ich habe die Version als EDC in Gold gewählt, während das Grundmaterial Messing ist, sind sowohl die Feder als auch der ganze Füllfederhalter 24 Karat vergoldet. Die EDC Version ist etwas kürzer, kann trotzdem auch ohne Kappe komfortabel benutzt werden. Die Kappe ist sowohl unten als auch oben geschraubt. Es braucht eine Idee mehr als eine Umdrehung zum öffnen. Er ist einfach wunderschön und auf Hochglanz poliert! Er liegt mit fast 50g schwer in der Hand. Durch die Riffelung am unteren Teil rutschen die Finger nicht ab.. Er kommt mit einem bereits installierten Konverter, so kann man alternativ zu den Patronen auch Tinte aus einem Fass verwenden. Als Feder wird eine Schmidt Feder verwendet, ich habe die Version F (Fein) genommen. Das Befüllen des Konverters erfolgt wie üblich durch drehen. Es funktioniert gut, man sollte aber bis der Feed richtig gefüllt ist mehrmals etwas Tinte ansaugen und dann wieder nach unten drehen damit am Ende mehr Tinte in den Konverter kommt. Verwendung: Solange man sehr langsam schreibt, erhält man ein sauberes Schriftbild, wie auf der ersten Schriftprobe zu sehen. Es dauert jedoch am Anfang immer. Man muss den ersten Buchstaben fast immer nachzeichnen. Die Feder ist etwas kratzig und man erhält deutliches Feedback. Schreibt man schneller, oder z.B. bei einer Unterschrift grösser, wird das ganze jedoch richtig kratzig und die Tinte kommt nicht schnell genug nach, es entstehen viele Aussetzer. Hier hat mich die Schmidt Feder massiv enttäuscht, da habe ich schon Füller unter 10€ erlebt, die es schaffen wesentlich weicher und ohne Aussetzer zu schreiben. Fazit: Wirklich hochwertig verarbeiteter, edler Füllfederhalter, die Feder ist jedoch für ein flüssiges Schreiben eher ungeeignet, evtl. erhält man mit einer Feder in M ein flüssigeres Schriftbild. UPDATE: Hier ein update vom 11.12.2025 Nach meiner Rezension hat mich, ohne dass ich mich dort gemeldet hätte, Scriveiner bei mir gemeldet. Der Kundenservice ist wirklich herausragend. Mein Problem wurde sofort richtig verstanden und ohne wenn und aber eine Ersatzlieferung veranlasst. Diese kam heute an und was soll ich sagen... Dieser schreibt wirklich wunderbar weich ohne jeden Aussetzer, eine Schriftprobe habe ich als letztes Foto angehängt. Ich bedanke mich hier noch einmal bei Scriveiner für einen Kundenservice, der seinesgleichen sucht!. Meine Bewertung habe ich aufgrund der neuen Umstände von 3 auf 5 Sterne erhöht und kann den Füllfederhalter uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

Beautiful fountain pen. Lovely size to fit in a pocket or bag. Smooth writing and a beautiful feel to it.

La compre para regalo, por lo que no puedo decir de su funcionalidad, pero el producto llego rápido, muy bonita, impecable en su caja muy cuidada. Un producto hermoso!!

I received it — it’s a perfect product, and I really like it. The seller is very professional as well. The hand-held fountain pen with a fine nib writes beautifully. I really love it! It doesn’t spill or leak ink at all.
