Cross Apogee, Titian Red Lacquer, Fountain Pen, with Rhodium Plated 18 Karat Solid Gold Nib Medium (AT0126-3MD) Review

Cross Apogee, Titian Red Lacquer, Fountain Pen, with Rhodium Plated 18 Karat Solid Gold Nib Medium (AT0126-3MD)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the pen and began using it and was quickly disappointed. Shortly after I began using it the pen began leaking everywhere. I could do very little without getting ink on what I was working on or my hands. Since this seemed like a manufacturing problem I sent it back to Cross. I called 2 weeks later to inquire about the pen and was rudely told that it would be 6 weeks before I could expect any information and that surely the pen had not been even looked at yet. I found this rather disappointing because I am a brand new customer who purchased a pen that was faulty from the start.

I have used this pen for the last 6 years. I think I bought it when they first came out. The way it feels in your hand, the way it smoothly glides on the paper, ANY kind of paper. I highly recommend this pen as the first purchase or gift purchase. It is a great starter pen for a fountain pen collection. You will never regret the purchase.

Cross ATX Matte Chrome Fine Point Fountain Pen - 886-1FS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Cross ATX fountain pen is a basic but terrific pen for everyday use. I've had mine for a year now and have had no problems with ink flow or leakage. The line width is slightly wider than one might think (I recommend a fine nib), but it's a great bold writer with a good weight balance in the hand. One of my favorites.

I purchased this pen for someone who was going to job interviews to help him look professional but had to order another one for him because once I tried it, it became my most-used pen. I have many Parker, Aurora and other fine pens but keep selecting this one. It's comfortable to hold, the medium refill flows and it's handsome to look at.

I got this pen for my boss for Christmas. It seems like a very nice pen. It writes smoothly and appears to be made of heavy, high quality materials. It has a professional appearance. The wider barrell and appearance of this pen make it a nice choice for the professional business man.

Waterman Charleston Black GT Fine Point Fountain Pen - 30046 Review

Waterman Charleston Black GT Fine Point Fountain Pen - 30046
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In this price range you would be hard pressed to find a pen costing hundreds more that writes better. It's a beautiful pen and as with all Waterman pens I have yet to own one that had to be returned due to scratching. I own both the black and Ivory and have to tell you everyone falls in love with the Ivory, it's different, it's color is unique and the gold appointments puts it in a class of its own. I still long for the day I can bring myself to purchase the Montblanc Le Grand 149 for $700. LOL, that's a lot of money for a pen.
As with any fountain pen it's important to note the longer you write with it the better it performs as the point conforms to your writing technique and remember it's not a good idea to let another use your pen. I've always believed nothing writes as well as a fountain pen and it's a shame we're not permitted at work to use them for legal signatures. Dohhh! If the cartridge that draws the ink should go, simply wrap the threads with plumbers silicone tape and fill the entire barrel up with ink. That worked great with an older Japanese fountain pen, refilling is rare, LOL.

Pelikan Tradition Series 215 Lozenge Fine Point Fountain Pen - 953000 Review

Pelikan Tradition Series 215 Lozenge Fine Point Fountain Pen - 953000
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To me, a nice fountain pen seems just as important as a nice tie in a professional, executive environment. This was my first one. I wasn't 100% sure if I would like using fountain pens or not, so this was a good choice as it is very classy and yet still subtle. Also, it doesn't break the bank. The plunger mechanism is a no-brainer to me. I don't think I would want any other kind of fountain pen. I use it regularly throughout the day all week and it performs well. I like that the clip is very sturdy for if you wear pens in your pockets and don't like them falling out or getting unclipped and turned around awkwardly. Think of this as a gateway pen. It's a safe bet, but it will make you want more. Need to get enough pens to fill up the classy pen display cases here on amazon!

Waterman Phileas Red Marble Medium Point Fountain Pen - 19714WB Review

Waterman Phileas Red Marble Medium Point Fountain Pen - 19714WB
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This pen looks more expensive than it is, feels comfortable in the hand, and writes very well. I happen to like a full barreled pen and the cartridge style makes refilling easy.
If you are looking for a fountain pen, this one would be a good choice. I'm going to add
the roller ball and pencil in the same style and color to my collection as there are times they are needed.
I can guarentee that you will get comments when you pull this one out of your jacket.
Some said that it writes rather wide so I just did a comparison of three pens to see just how wide the basic writing lines are. I used
the Waterman Phileas Red, a Uni-ball Signo Micro 207, and the Uni Premier Jetstream.
My test, on a piece of Ampad steno book paper, showed that the Waterman and Micro 207
were the same width, and that the Jetstream was noticeably wider. Asumming that the 207 designates
a 7mm ball size, I think that the Waterman's Med nip yields that same width.
Commonly a 5mm is called fine and the 9mm is bold or wide. So it seems the "Med" designate for the Waterman holds up.
Well that's just my rather un-scentific, using a big magnifying glass and plenty of bright light look at it.

Pelikan Souveran 600 Black/Red GT Fine Point Fountain Pen - 928655 Review

Pelikan Souveran 600 Black/Red GT Fine Point Fountain Pen - 928655
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Yes, there are other beautiful fountain pens out there that work beautifully, but nothing I've ever owned, including Montegrappa, Visconti, Aurora, Sailor, Waterman, Delta, Omas, or high end Parker and Sheaffer pens actually write better than either of my Pelikan 600's. Most don't write quite as consistently well. The Pelikan's an old style converter-only pen, but probably because of that, there are never any issues with getting it to write. If I use it at least once a week it writes immediately. I like fountain pens in general, but if I'm taking one with me to sign documents, write a letter, or make notes, it's going to be one of two models of pen-the Pelikan 600 or the Waterman Carene (another utilitarian winner, for sure!). Oh-from my experience, don't bother with Mont Blanc. Overpriced, unreliable, leaky, fussy and inconsistent. Otherwise quite lovely. Bleccchhh!!

Waterman Carene Deluxe Blue Lacquer Fine Point Fountain Pen - 11202W2 Review

Waterman Carene Deluxe Blue Lacquer Fine Point Fountain Pen - 11202W2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very nice writing instrument. It feels good in your hand, not too light or heavy, not too thin or thick. The ink flows easily, but not too much that you need to wait for it to dry. I'm a left handed writer, so I tend to trace my hand over what I just wrote, and with other fountain pens, I've ended up with ink all over my ring and pinky fingers. But, not with this pen. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because I hate paying this much money for a pen. If you can afford it, I recommend this pen over similarly priced fountain pens.

I love this pen. It is very stylish and writes very well. I use this pen for business and clients are impressed with the look of the pen. It has the look and feel of a pen that is much more expensive, but at the price here, it can't be beat. The refills for the ceramic rollerball can be a little difficult to find, but I use Schmidt rollerball refills and I love them. Again, this is one of the smoothest writing instruments around.

Waterman Hemisphere Stainless Steel CT Pen & Pencil Set - 92004WHS Review

Waterman Hemisphere Stainless Steel CT Pen and Pencil Set - 92004WHS
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My Waterman Hemisphere set is the best one I've ever had. Nowhere else have I found a ballpoint pen I like as much as this one. The weight is perfect, the mechanism smooth as silk. Plus the actual Waterman refills are the smoothest I've ever used, and they last a long time (I use medium point). No skips, blots, etc. As for the pencil lead, the size has nothing to do with the softness. Softness is variable, so for example, one scale of softest to hardest would be: 6B-5B-4B-3B-2B-B-HB-F-H-2H-3H-4H-5H-6H Pencil makers often use H to indicate a hard pencil, B for blackness (so a BB is very dark), and F to show it sharpens to a fine point. So you'll lots of combinations of these. As for the size of the lead on the Waterman Hemisphere, it's 0.5 mm. (Which you can look up online really easily.) It's a standard size, widely available. Happy writing!

Pelikan 800 Series Fountain Pen - Black, Broad Nib 995597 Review

Pelikan 800 Series Fountain Pen - Black, Broad Nib 995597
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Pelikan M800 is the perfect fountain pen. I've owned one with the black barrel & gold furniture for nearly a year, and it is by far my favorite fountain pen. I use other fountain pens in my collection, but I always return to my M800 after a day or so away from it. Here are the reasons why I love this pen:
1. Ink capacity - This pen has a huge ink capacity. I can go for 2 or 3 weeks at a time without needing to refill the ink reservoir.
2. Filling mechanism - I really like the piston mechanism used to draw ink into the pen. The brass piston always operates smoothly, and the piston screw never comes loose after it's tightened.
3. Nib - I have to admit that this pen isn't the best-writing pen in my fountain pen collection, but it's still a smooth writer that's always a pleasure to use. I have a fine nib, but it writes a little more like a medium. I've heard that this is pretty typical of Pelikan pens. The nib itself is a beauty; it's a 2-tone 18k gold nib with a pelican engraved on it. Also, the nib can easily screw out from the barrel, making changing nibs easy as can be.
4. Reliability - This pen never skips and it starts writing every time the nib hits the paper, even after sitting idle for several days. There are never any leakage problems, either. I don't have to be afraid of a blob of ink flying out when I use this pen.
5. Craftsmanship - Everything on this pen is put together beautifully. The gold trim complements the black finish perfectly, and it's not so much gold that it looks gaudy. (This is coming from a guy who prefers white gold to yellow gold!) The M800 is also a durable pen. I've accidentally dropped it once or twice, and nothing has ever broken on it. (I wouldn't recommend regularly abusing it, though!) The resin has proven to be tough.
6. Size - This might be a drawback to some people, but I really like the large size of this pen. I don't like using writing instruments that are too thin, and there's no need to worry about that with the M800. It's a big pen...about 6.5" posted, 5" unposted, & 5.5" capped. The barrel is just about 0.5" in diameter. I find this pen extremely comfortable to use.
All of these factors are what made the Pelikan M800 become my favorite fountain pen. I recommend this fountain pen very, very highly!

This is a quality writing instrument. The stainless steel barrel is strong enough to withstand the typical abuse of the modern office environment. The extra fine nib produces an incredibly delicate stream of ink, giving a certain gravitas to even the most innane scribblings.
Refill is by means of 2 international-size cartridges, which can be picked up at any office supply store, unlike the more difficult to find, proprietary Cross or Parker refills.
All in all a fabulous writing implement.
