Wordsworth & Black Fountain Pen Kit, 18K Medium Gold Nib, Includes 24 Ink Cartridges, Ink Refill Converter and Gift Box, Gold Finish, Calligraphy, [Golden Brown]

Bought the Wordsworth & Black fountain pen with the medium nib in all black. I have used fountain pens for a very long time and this is one of the best that I have used. It comes with 24 ink cartridges, and thankfully they are the standard size of ink cartridge and not a proprietary one like some other brands demand. It also comes with a refill cartridge so you can use ink bottles if you prefer. The pen can hold two of the standard cartridges, like most fountain pens. The one that is currently being used and one in the back of the pen so that unless you know you are going to do a lot of writing you don't need to carry loose cartridges around. Compared to my last fountain pen this is a little heavier but I have gotten used to that extra wright very quickly. It is not overly heavy though. The weight is balanced nicely which allows for an easy writing experience. The ink supplied dries quite quickly and as I have used fountain pens for a while I know how to avoid smudging the ink while it does dry. The pen looks quite simplistic in the all black but I prefer that in a pen. While I say it does look simplistic it also looks professional as a good quality pen shouldn't need to try and impress with looks but by how it actually writes. There are a number of other colours and nib sizes available, but I preferred the look of the black one. I also went with the medium nib as that is the size I usually use.

Beautiful pen. Good weight and solid in the hand. Easy to insert the cartridge. Writes wonderfully.

I don't usually buy fountain pens but thought I'd give this a go as they are so pretty. It is really lovely to write with, which is obviously the most important in a pen. The ink flow is steady even at quite a fast writing speed and the ink dries fast. It's also permanent and stains fingers easily if you're silly and wipe it off (don't worry, you will probably not be as silly as me!). It seems well made and durable with a well fitting cap that snaps on and stays on. The size is great to hold and it fits well in the hand. On the flip side, the material of the barrel does look and feel cheaper than in the photos. I don't think it's an issue long term as the overall structure is sturdy, but a bit disappointing. The biggest disappointment for me was that the nib that shows as a beautifully engraved silver and gold in the photo is actually a solid gold colour with a fairly simple WB engraved. No impact on the usability, but as the look was what made me choose this particular pen over others, this makes it a 4 instead of 5 for me.

Delighted. “You get what you pay for” on both ends of the scale, as a dearer product it’s shows its quality and it’s minor issues are forgivable as it’s not the most expensive. As a first time user the nib was quick to teach me what angle to write in. It is both forgiving and stubborn. It is comfortable and seems to be well made. The nib is beautiful and the shaft has good balance. I’ve found the blue ink to be thicker and the black ink more fluid. Both bleed through standard paper but are quick to dry. As a first time user it had been a joy to work with.

A stunning, beautifully made Fountain Pen made by Wordsworth. I purchased the Gold & Silver Colour Option with a Medium Nib. Included was a Ink Converter, plus 6 free Ink Cartridges (boxed). The cartridges are very simple to change and use, hassle free and more importantly, mess free! The Medium Nib writes very smoothly, with no drag and no smudging although I do recommend using the correct paper for Fountain pen use due to prevent the ink bleeding. The weight and cap of this pen are beautifully balanced. The box this comes in is also a luxurious, luxury, leather style woth a velvet like interior finish, stamped Wordsworth on lid of the box too & a silk ribbon tab to hold the pen in place whilst inside the box. Considering the cost, this is an excellent high quality pen. I can definitely recommend and is also a perfect gift for any writer :)

Usually, it takes some time to wear in a new nib (which is why you should never use another person's fountain pen), but this required only a little to work really well. A good product, well packaged in a nice box, itself inside a nice cardboard box, so would make an excellent gift. Rules for fountain pens: 1) ONLY use ink specifically for fountain pens (NOT Indian ink - if it dries in the pen, you have wrecked it and will have to buy a new one - be warned), not printers' ink, or inks for dipping pens. 2) Wash through only in water by filling and emptying a few times every couple of months or so, then dry on a tissue and leave to air dry; NEVER, NEVER use other cleaning chemicals, like nail varnish remover. 3) Do not allow others to use your pen, your nib is specifically for you & your style of handwriting. 4) Be patient, it takes time to wear in a nib. Your handwriting will thank you for it, improve, and make letters more impressive. It photocopies better, too. 5) Do not press down hard when writing. One of the great advantages of a fountain pen is that you need only very light pressure, sufficient to make contact with the paper, so are much less tiring to use than a ballpoint pen. If the ink is soaking into the paper, like blotting paper, you need to use better quality paper. I bought two A4 refill pads from the same brand, the recycled variety paper soaks up ink and spreads out, unlike the proper main brand, so you might need to test it. You get what you pay for, and one of the ways to reduce paper's price is to lower the quality ingredients, like China clay. 6) DO NOT write cheques, (or other important documents like wills) in fountain pen, or any other erasable inks - it can be washed out. ALWAYS use a non - erasable pen for these, such as a permanent ballpoint pen. 7) Carry nib upwards in your pocket, cap on. 8) Remember to underfill your pen a little to take on an aeroplane - it's less likely to leak with the pressure changes, but with modern pens, this shouldn't be a problem. 9) Take pleasure in using your pen: a good fountain pen is one of life's little joys. I hope this helps.

Delivered in good time, lovely presentation box. As a lifetime user of fountains pens if found this item well balanced, smooth writing and a good looking pen. Very happy

Arrived next day delivery and I was so excited to try it out it was well packaged in a presentation box it looked and felt of a quality pen something I was not expecting for the reasonable price I payed. Truthfully I was not disappointed I had it out of the Box cartridge fitted and and was delighted by the quality it has put me off using ballpoint pens for quality writing it brings out the best of one’s old skills learned at school neat and tidy like we used to achieve with the fountain pen.Im giving the seller and the product a well deserved 5*+

Der Stift sieht gut aus, ist wertig verarbeitet und hochwertig verpackt - Preis|Leistungsverhältnis auf den ersten Blick Ok.

I like the feel and appearance of this fountain pen. Adding the ink is pretty simple and the instructions well presented in the small booklet coming with it. The fine nib writes a bit thicker than I expected, but it is not a deal breaker. Overall this is a very good product.

自分へのご褒美に購入。 重みがあるので高級感があり、書きやすく見た目が美しいのでモチベーションがあがります！ 替えのインクが沢山入ってるのもありがたく最高。 書いてから乾くまで少し時間が必要なのでボールペンの方が便利さは勝りますが、気分が上がるので仕事中ずっと持ち歩いて使ってます。

Kolorystyka inna niż na zdjęciu. Wstawki metalowe złote zamiast srebrnych. Kolor stalówki inny niż na zdjęciu ofertowym. Sprzedawca sam z własnej inicjatywy zaproponował zwrot 50% wartości w ramach rekompensaty, na co przystałem.

Good quality. Writes nicely.
