(More customer reviews)This is a budget pen for someone who appreciates the fundamentals of fountain pens. This is a straight-talking, no nonsense, blue-collared, "I put ink on a page" fountain pen.
If you need a 14 or 18k gold nib shining back at you, this ain't your pen.
If you want people to gasp in awe when you whip out your pen, this is not your pen. Well, a certain kind of fountain pen enthusiastic might and they'd worth talking to, but this ain't the rolex of pens here is what I'm saying.
If you want a modern pen to use an old nib you savaged from a busted pen at a flea market, this is your pen. Search Noodlers on YouTube for the video on this.
If inks are your thing and you want a pen, a piston pen, that you can flush and fill in search of the next perfect ink, this is your pen.
If you want to carry an extra pen for say, red ink, this is a way to do so without busting your bank account.
The pen is very light with a plastic feel to it, the nib is a decent medium, and the price is great. I used a couple of different inks in mine and I see what I expect from them in this pen.
The burgundy color is good and conservative, though they come in brighter colors too. The ink windows are visible with the cap on, which is nice. The cap screws off which I think is fine for a fountain pen that rides in a pocket or purse.
The mechanism is simple and functions well. See the Youtube video on repairing this pen to see what it is about.
To fill, basically, take the cap off and unscrew the back of the pen until it resists, this moves its piston all the way forward inside the ink chamber. Dunk the front of the pen into a bottle of ink past the nib and screw it back down while holding the front in the ink to fill it. Blot the nib with a paper towel and you're ready. It's that easy.
I applaud Noodlers for putting out this good, basic pen.
