Amazon BasicsRefillable Fountain Pen - Fine Point, Black Ink

The pen is a good size, and fits well in the hand. The surface of the pen is smooth and not overly slippery. It is a simple design and well built to last a long time. It is a simple one color utilitarian style pen to provide for the basic function of writing.

Perfect pen for those getting into fountain pens. Easy to use and no issues with the ink.

Normally $10.35 at the time of my review, on sale for $8.80 with over 11k purchases so I thought what the heck, I'll try it and see.While a little heavier than my other fountain pen, it surprisingly writes almost as good as my other fine point fountain pen. The ink flows more than my Lamy pen, so it appears a touch heavier, especially on more absorbent papers. But that can be good if I'm using it to draw, and I need to fill in space.Overall, it writes as smoothly as my Lamy Safari (which is everyday quality) and it has had very little skipping, very likely due to leaving the cap off a little longer than I should have. Wiping it on scrap paper resolved the one time it did. It feels comfortable and only bled through the Moleskine paper. And I like that if I'm thinking and I forget to lift the nib, it won't continue to excrete ink into the paper. I accidentally dropped it on the table and was very happy to note it didn't drip ink anywhere. That's a big plus that has happened with art pens.I'm impressed since it was so cheap and performs as well as any everyday fountain pen. This one came in a very sturdy giftable box, with two refills.My only complaint would be how the cap doesn't really stay on the back end, which is where I prefer it to be while writing. But I would definitely recommend this for someone who wants to try fountain pens but isn't ready to fork over $100 to do it, or someone who needs a decent affordable pen for ink artwork.

For a beginner, this is a good and inexpensive fountain pen. I read may complaint reviews about how hard it was to get it primed. It was. I watched a few videos and tried a few things to no avail. I was actually going to return the pen.Then suddenly this morning it was working great. I like the weight of the pen. I do not think I will use this long term though. Just as a starter. In fact, I picked up another fountain pen slightly more expensive and can't wait to try that out.
