Brass Fountain Pen

Buttery smooth writing with a premium, durable, and simplistic build for under $20. STATIONERY USED: Maruman Mnemosyne N174 (B5 8mm Ruled Notebook). NIB/WRITING PERFORMANCE: The nib provides a smooth writing experience that doesn’t feel toothy or provide feedback. The pen provides a heavy flowing, wet writing experience and provides great line variation (depending on nib size/type). I personally went with the “Medium Point” BUILD & DESIGN: The build of the fountain pen is entirely aluminum (metal), providing a premium, substantial feel compared to plastic builds. It has an overall very durable build and finish that can sustain abuse. The nib is also durable. The overall design is very simplistic, consisting of black all-around (depending on which color you choose) with a scale-like pattern. FILLING SYSTEM: The pen holds ink via the included standard 3.5mm bore converter. This allows someone to fill it up with ink easily, which means it’s beginner friendly. Keep in mind, like any other fountain pen, there is no ink included. OVERALL: The Asvin Hongdian 1861 Black Forest is a simplistic, durable and premium fountain pen that provides great unmatched value for the price.

I've been using this for work and it's been doing great! Writes well and I love the feel and the weight to it. I've been wanting to move towards a pen that I can refill as I'm tired of having to buy new pens when they run out. This was a perfect solution. It's beautiful and comes for a reasonable price. I'll have to see how it holds up in the coming months but I feel confidant in its durability. There is some smearing from time to time but that could be the type of ink I'm using. I'm new to fountain pens so that I don't know how to gage. Nonetheless I'd say it's a great starter pen. Super easy to fill and use!

It's a sturdy, smooth fountain pen with a good weight. I love the soft, organic, matte look of the "ice flower" finish in particular. The pen looks and feels nice but isn't so expensive that you get super precious about it and hesitate to even use it. I love my kakunos but they're a bit chunky and I think I'll be traveling with these instead.

I bought the knife point and medium point versions of these pens. I'm very new to fountain pens but have a few other than these. These seem to be more geared towards folks who are just looking for the fountain pen experience overall, where I really enjoy pens that aren't strictly for calligraphy but do give a bit more expression in the stroke. The angle on both does offer some dynamics and variation in the line size, but it's very subtle. I didn't really notice a ton of difference in the medium compared to the knife, and was expecting it to be a bit more broad of a tip, but maybe the fine and extra fine are just incredibly thin. Regardless, they are a great value if you're wanting to just dip your toes into fountain pens. The flow seems decent, but better on the long knife. The construction feels very solid and well thought out, even though the material isn't super premium feeling. Overall, these are a great pen to start with. If you enjoy fountain pens these will probably not be the last you buy, which isn't a bad thing at all.

I have several high dollar fountain pens, this one writes super well and is the least messy of the bunch. Super easy to refill and feels great in the hand. Has decent balance even without the cap placed on the end once removed. Clean lines. Great choice.

Really impressed with this pen, not only does it look fantastic it writes fantastic, ink flow was good and consistent for me, I'm happy with it.

I genuinely wish I could give the 0 stars. It had such a pretty look to it, and was supposed to be a best selling fountain pen on Amazon. I bought the only ink that worked in this, which is their ink. Just know that when I tell you it sucked so bad that it didn't even get as good a rating as those crappy capped pens we all used in school, I absolutely mean it!!! I hate this pen, because it can't even write on really good paper. I tried it on terrible paper, and it only kinda worked but still refused to flow like many reviews said it did.

I wish I was able to write this mildly-unhinged Amazon Review with this pen. I initially ordered this for my Father In Law - He's a very good man. He liked it so much, and I liked it so much I got one for me. This is a pen I use every day, and following my father's tradition of using subversive colors of ink (his was green), mine is purple. No, I don't sign the check run in purple, I have a separate, wider-nib fountain pen specifically for writing appreciation notes to employees and for signing the check run. I also enjoy the feature of being able to fill my pen using an ink bottle with the reservoir that comes with the pen. Absolute genius -- FORGET CARTRIDGES-- Just transition over to inkbottles already you cowards. Twist down the top of the reservoir, then slowly twist it the other way to draw up the ink. Everything holds well, no leaks, no mess, no issues. I've carry this time-bomb of an ink explosion with me everywhere in my bag for a few months now and the pen closes solidly without a problem. My beloved Tarot Deck, my 100 Tampons pencil bag(Sally Ride, may she rest in peace and inspiration), my delightful green tote bag, all remain unsoiled from the purple ink contained within this solidly built, amazing value for the price, fountain pen. I love writing with this pen, it is my favorite pen. There is a great weight to it, it feels great in your hand, it has a nice solid feel while you're writing, and you just want to write some more. When its inevitable loss does come, I will ugly cry. I will sit in gratitude for the thoughts and feelings I was able to express with this pen.

There's a lot to like about the pen. I got the black version and it has a nice feel in the hand when writing. It's not a light pen so somewhat hefty compared to my other ones which I really appreciate. The all-black body and nib looks very cool too. Filled it with my workhorse Parker royal blue ink and started writing and it is smooth but only after the initial stroke. So you don't get ink flowing through immediately and quite a number of sentences have to be re-written. And obviously once you start trying to sign your name, that's where it all falls apart. So when you do things slow and steady, the pen performs - but when you start going a bit faster, the ink does not flow as one would expect.

Adorei. Minha primeira caneta tinteiro. O custo benefício é ótimo. Já vou comprar uma com ponta Extra Fine.

Muy buen producto, no le he dado ni mucho menos el trato que debería y aun así resiste la he dejado con tinta secándose por meses, aveces todo el día en un maletín de arriba para abajo y aun así solo tengo que limpiarla con agua dejarla secar y vuelve a funcionar como si nada

Good quality. Fast delivery.

Verarbeitung gut, satte Feder für M; muss allerdings regelmäßig verwendet werden; sonst Gefahr der Eintrocknung
