Matte Black Forest Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib Classic Design with Converter and Metal Case Set by Hongdian

I love it. It is my favourite medium for sketching. The weight, the grip and the quality of the tips are all good

Was a Christmas Present made 1 grandchild extremely happy.

The pen is a bit light for my liking and the grip section is a bit short making the pen strange to hold but it will likely be fine with smaller handed individuals. Nib is good quality for the price and writes smoothly. Get decent ink to avoid obstructions and drying in the nib after sitting overnight.

Very elegant and stylish but the extra fine nib was a mistake. Can i get a spare medium nib?

Forgive my drawing I'm still learning but I just wanted to say how amazing this pen has been for me I had to buy some more nibs as I has accidentally split the tines on the original but that is user error not the pens fault either way the pen feels amazing in the hand it is slightly on the heavier side but it's not bad in the slightest the ink flow is marvelous and you can easily change thickness of the lines although don't take my word for it like all things please do some research and find if this is the correct pen for you

This pen is excellent. I got the Extra Fine Matte Black version, and ive only had it for a day or so.... So i dont know how itll hold up in a week, month, year etc, but it feels solid. I have it inked up with Diamine OxBlood and it writes very smooth. Ive seen others say that it can be scratchy, so i don't know if i got lucky or they got unlucky. But from my experience it is smooth. Smoother then some pens that cost many times more. The cap has a soft cushioned close followed by a nice sharp click. The cap also posts very nicely. It sits flush against the body at the top, though i don't like to use my pens posted. This pen is lovely either way. The only gripe i have with the pen is that the step between the grip and the body is a bit steep. I tend to hold my pens very low down so the small ridge that the cap clicks into it a bit noticeable but its nothing too bad. Like my Pilot Metropolitan has a larger step, but it also has a longer grip. But thats really not a deal breaker. In closing, this pen is lovely, i really recommend it. I would recommend it if it was double the price. I like this better then pens that are 4x the price. Its a nice pen.

The pen body is metallic, and has a nice weight to it. Writes smoothly and the EF nib is great.

A little bit about myself and my pens/inks to start! I'm quite new to fountain pens, I've got this and a Kaweco Sport (F), with a Kaweco AL Sport (EF) on the way! The ink in this one is the J. Herbin Fountain Pen Ink in Poussiere de Lune, and the one I've been using in my Sport is the Monteverde Ink in Document Black. I'm also left-handed, and an overwriter. So I was a bit reluctant to try this pen because of the mixed reviews about hard starts and the paint chipping but I went ahead and got it anyway after seeing how many people have and enjoy it on the fountain pen subreddit (yes, I'm doing my research). Well, colour me impressed. This is quite the pen. It's heavy for the price which is nice, it feels like quality and looks it as well. I got the extra-fine nib and it writes beautifully. There is no 'sweet spot' on mine, the entire nib is the sweet spot, whereas for my Sport I have to turn the nib until it's directly facing the writing (which for me is about 5-10 degrees right of center) to write without any hard starts. It is just a smidge scratchier than my Sport but I enjoy the sound and find it comforting! I also have a mechanical keyboard so I clearly enjoy some sort of feedback from my writing/typing instruments. I've found that just in the few days I've had this pen, it's the one that is closest to what I'm used to with my 0.38mm Pilot G2s, which is to say that the writing is quite fine and clean. It also goes through my MUJI notebook a bit less than my Sport which is to be expected based on the nib sizes. All I can say for the time being is that at this price point, you really cannot go wrong. Just give it a shot. If you like to write small, get the EF. Spend the extra money on some nice inks!

Scrivo questa recensione avendo ripreso la penna dopo un lungo periodo di inutilizzo che aveva portato l'inchiostro residuo a prosciugarsi nel converter. Già pensavo di dover fare un lavaggio completo per poterla utilizzare nuovamente ma, preso da pigrizia, ho provato a caricare un po' d'inchiostro Parker Quink. Dopo qualche insistenza ha ripreso a scrivere regolarmente ed eccomi a descriverla. La penna ha una buona ergonomia con il corpo sottile in metallo zigrinato e verniciato che non risulta troppo freddo al tatto e garantisce un impugnatura sicura. Il peso è decisamente superiore a quello delle penne non metalliche e finisce per sbilanciarla con il cappuccio in sede posteriore. Nessun problema invece nella scrittura senza cappuccio. Il pennino non è un fenomeno di scorrevolezza, e la fa somigliare, grazie anche all'aspetto 'tech', ad uno strumento di precisione più che d'arte, effetto da me espressamente cercato con la scelta del pennino extrafine. Definirei il tratto 'chirurgico'. Il converter incluso garantisce una notevole autonomia. Una buona aggiunta per chi, come me, ha una collezione di penne stilografiche originata dalla curiosità più che dalla necessità.
