Pelikan Twist Fountain Pen with 1 Ink Cartridge, Medium Nib, White Pearl, Boxed (811439)

Exactly as described. Can be awkward to hold, as the cap doesn’t rest well on the end of the pen whilst writing. This pen really is so beautiful though-I get so many compliments on it. It writes smoothly and consistently every time you pick it up. It even does well with shimmer inks. Absolutely love this pen and recommend for anyone wanting a quality product that won’t break your pocketbook.

This pen gets a bit uncomfortable after writing with it briefly because I have a cross-over and not a tripod grip. But the nib writes smoothly and I love the color!

I had a blue Pelikan twist from about seven years ago and wanted to try a different color this time so I ordered a red one. Its ergonomic grip is so far the most comfortable among all my more expensive fountain pens (or perhaps I just like angular grips) and it is softer than Lamy safari’s (though not too soft).

Pretty solid fountain pen for the price. Fairly smooth nib.

I love the feel of writing with a weighty fountain pen. It gives whatever I am putting ink to paper a sense of deliberateness and importance...Even when you're going out shopping and signing receipts for daily use. Unfortunately I've lost quite a few of my nice pens for everyday carry. Or they mysteriously disappear when I leave it unattended. Enter the pelican twist. An simple gateway fountain pen for everyday use that you don't feel so bad for accidentally losing. The interesting design elicits comments and prompts conversation expounding on the elegance of using a fountain pen. It is lighter than it looks though. Pro tip: inject some lead or epoxy a metal ball bearing in the empty cavity to give it a little heft.

The media could not be loaded.  Not bad for a discount fountain pen. This was a M nib; I usually use an EF or F. The box was squashed. Very disappointed that the pen has two scratches. The grip is nice but feels odd for my hand.

It writes smoothly, but although I am a lover of plastic fountain pens that have the defined grip, this one did not seem right. I'm not sure if it was the one I received, but it wasn't aligning correctly with the nib or something. I found it very uncomfortable to write with.Love the color. But, not the line that was down one side of it; not sure if it was the design or a scratch.Had to send it back. If I didn't have that option, I would not have even tried it (or many others).

It's a pretty pen and fits well in my hand. Writes wet and fairly broad for a medium. It also leaked a bit because it was used and already had the cartridge in and halfway empty. Check returns before putting them back on the shelf.

É a primeira experiência que tenho com canetas tinteiros. Comecei com a Pelikan Twist Blue, achei bacana e acabei comprando outra do mesmo modelo, mas cor diferente (White Pearl), que estava em promoção por metade do valor originário.Eu estava à procura de uma caneta com boa relação custo-benefício, boa durabilidade, boa qualidade de construção e, principalmente, bastante conforto na escrita, já que eu escrevo muito, todo dia. A Pelikan Twist, dentro de suas limitações, tem atendido a esse propósito.É uma boa opção inicial. Construída em plástico bastante leve, de forma que é possível escrever bastante sem se cansar, e o formato triangular é ergonômico e ajuda a usar a pena na posição correta.Um ponto negativo é que a pena M não é substituível e, pro meu tamanho de letra, proporciona um traço mais grosso do que eu gostaria, além de gastar bastante tinta. Invista num conversor e num frasco de tinta, porque usar os cartuchinhos torna o custo da coisa proibitivo (outra opção mais trabalhosa, porém consideravelmente mais barata, é reencher o cartucho com uma seringa).Há opções melhores de caneta tinteiro, com pontas mais finas ou mais grossas a depender do gosto, até mesmo substituíveis, mas aí o valor do investimento sobe consideravelmente.No dia a dia de escrita, eu encontrei dois motivos para usar a folha de caderno na diagonal, fazendo com que a letra fique em "itálico": 1 - como a tinta demora secar, evita que, ao ir pra linha de baixo, passe-se a mão e borre-se a linha de cima (isso é válido pra toda caneta tinteiro); 2 - na diagonal a caneta tem traço bem contínuo e não falha nenhuma vez (não sei se isso ocorre em toda caneta tinteiro ou é uma característica desse modelo, mas com o caderno na posição dita "normal", às vezes acontece falha no traçado).Uma coisa me chamou a atenção. No começo achei que a caneta White Pearl tinha escrita perceptivelmente mais macia do que a Blue. Eu não quis acreditar que fosse diferença na qualidade de fabricação da pena entre os dois exemplares, a considerar tratar-se de um produto de fabricação alemã. Com mais algum tempo de uso cheguei a conclusão que é por causa das tintas. Cores diferentes têm composição diferente e, consequentemente, podem apresentar fluidez diferente. Usei tintas Pelikan 4001. A tinta blue black é consideravelmente mais “seca”, proporcionando um traço mais áspero e barulhento. A tinta blue royal é bem mais macia. E a tinta preta é mais macia que as outras duas.Em resumo, tenho gostado da compra.O papel da foto é de bloco fichário da Tilibra, que apesar de ser apenas 56 g/m², surpreendentemente não vaza tinta pro outro lado, permitindo que se utilize frente e verso da folha sem nenhum problema.

As a wedding registrar, I need my pen to be good value, comfortable, reliable, have a good ink flow and write nicely. This is a left/right handed pen - as a lefty, the grip is important for me. I'm not blown away by the one on this pen as the triangular design continues into the barrel and isn't that comfortable.When removing the lid, it may sound silly, but it's not easily identifiable which is the lid (when you're not paying attention and maybe reading something else) - there are no clips on the lid like most other pens.The ink flows brilliantly and I've had no problems with the converter. The nib is medium with a flat tip. I've found this less useful when writing smaller - I always opt for medium but find this one just doesn't look as neat.The colour and design of the pen are unique and the price was a definite bonus.On the whole, not my favourite new pen. Does what I need it to but could be more comfortable. Reliability and price are two definitely plus points and this will continue to have a home in my pencil case.

a great ergonomic design with nice proportions for an adult male handreliable materialnicely finishedhandsomemine has a smooth 'F' nibI enjoy using the Pelikan Twist

This pen is really comfortable to write with. Easy to use. The nib is a bit on the thicker side compared to the Parker pen I have but it’s very smooth not at all scratchy. Ink flows smoothly. I like it. Very good value.

For the price this is good writer, unusual too.Feels light weight and cheap but does its job
