Luxury Fountain Pen Set for Writing - Smooth Medium Nib - Includes Refillable Ink Converter, 3 Ink Cartridges [Black & Blue], Gift Box - Elegant Calligraphy

This pen is excellent. It comes nicely packaged and is very stylish. The weight and balance feels comfortable and luxurious. The included ink cartridge loaded effortlessly. After drawing a couple of circles the ink began the flow and even writing with my left hand produced smooth script. I highly recommend this pen as a gift for one’s self or another.

I've been using fountain pens as my everyday writing instrument in the office for something like eight years now. I don't know how many different pens I've tried and set aside as unsatisfactory. I maintain about five or six that I will rotate through, one per day. But this pen is the first one I've gotten in a very long time that made me reluctant to put it on the dresser and pick up the next in the stack. I've only been using this pen for a short while, so I can't yet speak to long term use.For the money; the weight, build quality, ink flow, and styling are all far better than they have a right to be. I couldn't tell you how they compare to truly high end pens, as the nicest pen I have is a Lamy 2000 (which I really like as well), but for $40, this blows away any other pen in my rotation (except for the Lamy).Bottom line, I highly recommend picking up one of these pens. I don't believe you'll find a better one in the same price range.

Beautiful pen. I write very small, so I need a fine point. This pen is awesome for that. Customer service was also super helpful assisting me with getting the ink cartridge loaded correctly.

WOW! What a treat. This is my first fountain pen and I can’t believe I waited 60 years to get one. It’s a true pleasure writing with this pen. I got my wife one for her birthday; she has beautiful handwriting; she is going to love it!Five stars.

This is my second Ellington fountain pen, my first one mysteriously disappeared after someone “borrowed” it (a testament to how nice it is). I genuinely love the way it writes. The medium nib delivers smooth, consistent ink flow and glides effortlessly across the page. It really does feel like a luxury pen at a great price point.A quick note: if you write with a light hand, you might notice the top strokes of your letters aren’t as full or bold as the downward ones. It’s not a flaw, just something to be aware of with this nib. If you have a heavier hand, though, it writes beautifully.The set includes both cartridges and a refillable converter, which is a great bonus. I only wish the instructions were printed as having to scan a QR code to figure out the ink setup was a minor annoyance.Still, an excellent pen that I’d happily recommend, and clearly, I already bought it twice!

"Outshine all other writing instruments with the unparalleled elegance and performance of an Ellington Pen, your new prized possession."That's a bold claim. Before I chucked all my Mountblancs in the trash, I decided to at least do a little side-by-side comparison. Boy howdy, am I glad I did.I have a lot of fountain pens and a lot of experience with fountain pens. The least expensive cost exactly one dollar. The most expensive ones more than $800 (don't tell my wife please). I have everything from the newest of the new to one that just turned 100 years old recently. Gold nibs, steel nibs, cursive italics, flexes, stubs, you name it.This Ellington pen, I was promised, was better than all of them. I intended to do a head to head comparison with one of my MB 146s. I wanted to test nib smoothness, line width, ink flow, balance, the works. I inked both pens with the same ink, Noodler's Black, a good quality ink that performs well in most pens on most papers. I was ready for the showdown.The Ellington pen didn't write. Not much anyway. I got a few black streaks on the paper if I pressed on the nib a little bit, but as for writing a word, or even a single letter - forget it.It did not outshine all other writing instruments. It did not outshine a single one. It is not functional as a pen. It is trash.If you want an inexpensive fountain pen, buy a Pilot Metropolitan, TWSBI Eco, Platinum Preppy, Parker IM, Majohn, Jinhao, or (if you're feeling lucky) a Lamy Sarafi, to name a few.Or maybe buy this Ellington pen as a gift for that special someone to let him know just how little you think of him.

The pen and ink are excellent quality with an affordable price. Makes a great gift! Customer support and readily available video instructions are very helpful.
