Amazon Basics Refillable Fountain Pen - Fine Point, Black Ink

I admit, I bought this mostly out of curiosity. I found myself wondering, "How good could an Amazon Basics fountain pen actually be?" The answer turned out to be: surprisingly good. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't the same quality as a $200 pen with a gold nib. But I would argue it writes just as well as some of the popular entry-level pens like a Platinum Preppy or a Pilot Kakuno. The nib is smooth and silky right out of the box, and I haven't had any issues with "hard starts" where the ink doesn't want to flow. The only thing to note is the sizing. I ordered a medium nib, but it definitely writes a bit more like a broad. That doesn't bother me because it makes a lovely, thick line, but it is something to be aware of if you write small. For around $10, it feels substantial in the hand and looks professional enough to take into a meeting. If you are looking for a starter pen to see if you like fountain pens, this should definitely be on your shortlist. In short: An incredible value for the money. It writes smoothly and feels solid, though the medium nib runs a little thick.

I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this pen, but I was very pleasantly surprised! I picked this up so I could have an inexpensive daily writer, but I honestly like it better than some of my more expensive pens. I got the medium nib and it lays down a really nice line of ink. It’s a very smooth writer, and I experience no scratch at all. As I said, I was very pleasantly surprised, and this pen is a joy to write with. It’s my go-to pen right now. I might actually get another one and add a converter so I can use different color inks.

The pen comes in a nice gift-quality box. Excellent pen for the price. Smooth writing and ink flow. I am left handed, so ink drying was critical for me, but I've had no issues. Didn't give 5 stars because instructions were minimal and ink cartridge install needed much more force than I expected. Other than that, I'm very happy. Update EDIT: the above review was for the medium nib pen. Was so happy, I ordered one with the fine nib. However, the fine nib pen I received had a nib defect and skipped a lot. Amazon replaced the pen at no cost! And without having to return the defective pen. The replacement pen writes smoothly without skipping and I couldn't be happier! In summary, very satisfactory quality pens for the price and great customer service.

Love this fountain pen. Light weight. Ink flows smoothly. Fits beautifully in the hand. For the price it's an excellent investment. Especially for someone considering changing from an ink pen to a fountain pen.

I have bought 3 of these pens. 2 F point, and one M. I am reviewing this singular pen because it is the most expensive of the group. The F points are excellent. Excellent value for the money, write well. Good pen. Takes International style ink cartridges or converters, so you can use other inks as well. Smooth, consistent inkflow, I highly recommend those. This one? It leaked. Tried different cartridges, they are leaking from within the nib assembly, but not dripping onto the page. I got a refund, but was disappointed. I didn't have to return it, (I did get it on sale, so the price was nearly the same as the F nibs) so that was a plus. Keeping it, I was able to experiment and discover the hidden gems of these pens. You can disassemble them, and find compatible higher rated parts. The nibs, go gold, or rhodium, or whatever. A lot cheaper to buy a nib than a whole body. Ink delivery system pulls out of the barrel, so you can replace that too. This makes it an excellent stealth pen. No one will want to steal your "amazon basics fountain pen", unless you tell them of the improvements under the hood. I am using the M body to hold any and all extra nibs I buy and accumulate. Overall, good job in the bringing to market a good sub $10 pen (the F, and the M on sale). Great entry level pen for those who we wish to convert.

Es una pluma q vale totalmente la pena si es tu primera vez usando una pluma como este tipo es laejor experiencia. No se ve para nada corriente .

Da sempre la penna stilografica è segno di eleganza e stile e questa stilografica marchio AmazonBasics, è realmente una bella penna con un design accattivante e curato ed è realizzata con materiali di buona qualità. È arrivata dentro una scatola in cartone, ben alloggiata all'interno di un cofanetto nero (18 x 6,5 x 4 cm circa), robusto e solido, insieme a 3 cartucce di cui 2 sono sistemate nel loro spazio all'interno del cofanetto e una si trova all'interno della penna stilografica ma è libera, non inserita sul relativo nipplo . La penna ha un design semplice ma elegante e piacevole, è di colore nero con finiture cromate, è leggera (pesa 32 grammi, cartuccia compresa), ha un cappuccio protettivo che ben si incastra sia sul pennino che sull'estremità opposta (così non c'è il rischio di perderlo), ed è dotato di un comodo fermaglio in metallo. Metto in evidenza, come suscritto, che il cappuccio non si avvita sulla penna ma bisogna premerlo fin a sentire il click di conferma dell'avvenuta chiusura a incastro. Faccio notare che la penna stilografica, sia con che senza cappuccio protettivo, è ben equilibrata, si impugna abbastanza bene e non stanca la mano. Ha un pennino in acciaio con punta fine e, quando il cappuccio protettivo è inserito su di esso, la lunghezza della penna stilografica è circa 13,8 cm ... le giuste dimensioni per poterla inserire in un taschino della giacca o in una elegante agenda oppure metterla in borsa. È caratterizzata dal tipico sistema di caricamento della cartuccia, ossia bisogna premere la cartuccia sul nipplo del gruppo pennino affinchè questo fori il diaframma in plastica della cartuccia per lasciare fluire l'inchiostro e poter scrivere ... attenzione, bisogna premere la cartuccia sul nipplo delicatamente ma con una certa forza PRIMA di avvitare il fusto perchè, a differenza di altre stilografiche, durante il riavvitamento del fusto la cartuccia non viene premuta e incastrata. L'inchiostro delle cartucce è nero intenso e la scrittura è continua, fluida, scorrevole, non sbava e non trapassa la carta ... anche se sinceramente devo mettere in evidenza che per coloro che non sono abituati a scrivere con una penna stilografica occorre un po' di pazienza e di pratica. Assegno 4 stelle perchè non sono riuscito a trovare la garanzia della penna stilografica (requisito importante per ogni articolo acquistato soprattutto on line) e non conosco a tutt'oggi (fine Ottobre 2019) il prezzo della penna stilografica ... spero che presto possa conoscere la garanzia e il prezzo per modificare le stelle assegnate.

Il a vraiment une belle écriture, et un débit d'encre équilibré ! Il est léger et agréable à utiliser, facile à recharger, et vraiment joli. Ça peut faire un beau cadeau !

Nice and weighted, solid metal construction. Good for those who like a heavier pen. Writes very well. Takes the shorter stubby cartridges, not the longer thinner type. Well worth the price.

Er liegt gut in der Hand und hat auch ein schönes Gewicht. Nicht zu leicht und nicht zu schwer. Ganz schlicht gehalten. Ich habe schon ewig nicht mehr mit einen Füller geschrieben und es schon was anderes wie als mit einen Kuli. Noch ist er nicht oben ausgelaufen, was ich bei der guten Qualität gerade bezweifle. Ich muss schauen ob da auch die ganz normalen Patronen rein passen. Da ich die zwei die dabei sind als etwas länger empfinde. Kann auch eine Täuschung meinerseits sein.
