6013 Pure Black Solid Metal Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib, Senior General Ink Converter Pen Metal Box by Hongdian

The media could not be loaded. Very comfortable and feels solid. Holds ink great and it flows incredibly. In the video I use Pelikan 4001 ink. This is an amazing beginner pen. The pen is pretty, it writes smoothly, and I love making small drawings with it. I'm 15 (using my father's account) so I'd say this pen is great for children who love art. I let my 11 y/o step sister write with it and now she wants one!! I saw that there's tip replacements too so this pen should last a life time! 10/10

This pen is super nice. It writes smooth. Has a good , grippy feel and the heavy weight of it feels awesome!! The price you pay doesn’t do it justice because it feels and writes like a higher end pen. Perfect for gifting. I am a very satisfied customer!!!

The pictures don't lie. This pen is gorgeous. The all black finish gives it a premium feel which does make it an excellent gift for any fountain pen enthusiast. The matte black textured grip and the weight of the pen elevates the design. Even the subtle embellishment on the pen cover is an excellent touch. There is however one drawback to the design - the pen is a twist-off cap design instead of a click on cap. Having to screw off the cap every time you want to use it makes it an impractical choice for daily use in the office. Also, a word of caution to those who haven't used an extra fine tip fountain pen, the sharpness of the tip takes away that satisfying smoothness that you feel with regular tip fountain pens. You also have to be careful with the type of paper you use this pen on. Writing on low quality paper ends up in a very unsatisfying scratchy experience. Overall, this pen is beautiful and makes an excellent gift or addition to your collection but the one drawback prevents me from giving it five stars.

The media could not be loaded. It is a looker and a really good pen. The matte finishing brings a nice touch if you are trying to get an all black EDC kit. I had some accidents with water fountain pens when travelling by plane, but this one held it together with no issues. It is the only water fountain pen that a carry now with me.

My prejudice for fountain pens is one where you want a writing utensil that is above the ordinary . . . looks, feel in your hand, feel in writing. It should look good, feel good, and make you feel good when you write with it . . . make it feel effortless.My prejudice for fountain pens is one where you want a writing utensil that is above the ordinary . . . looks, feel in your hand, feel in writing.

Bought this as an anniversary gift for my husband and he uses it all the time. He likes the weight of it and how durable it is. It is easy to put together, easy to prime (I bought the disposable cartridges), and easy to use. 10/10 would purchase again!

I'm really bummed out because the pen feels great in the hand and looks beautiful... Or at least it would, had it not come in damaged with scratches and chips all over it. It was only twenty bucks, so frankly not even worth the hassle of trying to go through with a return for a refund. Just be warned to everyone looking at this pen. Maybe it was a fluke, maybe I'm unlucky, either way I'll probably find a different pen to try.

Beautiful design, writes well, great value. My hands are arthritic, but the grip was reasonably comfortable for me.

This pen is undoubtedly outstanding value for the money asked. It is roughly similar in dimensions to the Lamy 2000, and pen that costs ten times as much as this does.The steel nib – mine is Extra Fine – is well-made and I think this pen stands comparison very well with the Lamy – taking into account the price difference. While it can’t quite match the German pen’s overall style and feel, the barrel, cap and section seem very accurately machined and the cartridge converter is well executed. The barrel has a machined grip and there’s motif around the base of the cap which is well done and looks very good. The clip is quite similar in action to the Lamy, slightly larger and just as effective.There is little to dislike about this pen, and being made of metal, it is heavy at 48g (1&3/4oz). The cap does not post so easily and as positively as I would like. How well the black finish will stand up to wear remains to be seen. Five stars for value and function – so far.

I got an EF nib and honestly it was very decent and I was impressed.However, it's not a durable pen. The ink from the grip section started peeling off after 2 or 3 months to the point of having it completely gone.The nib, surprisingly smooth for an EF at that price point, broke quite easily after a few months of usage.Overall, you can get this pen if you plan on only using it for a few months, but don't buy it as your main pen otherwise you seriously risk getting disappointed with it.

This is a metal pen, so it will not be your thing if you like light pens. The cap is particularly heavy (23g), representing half of full weight of the pen and therefore it could feel unbalanced. The pen uncapped is 12 cm, which makes a good length to be used unposted. The design is very attractive, and the metal body is covered with a soft material, so it is very pleasent to hold. The lacqered part of the section could eventually peel off. In terms of writing experience, the extra fine nib is really soft and delightful to write with!

A very nice weighty pen and a solid build. Fine nib writes beautifully without being scratchy. The only niggle is that the cap does not sit snuggly on the back when in use.

Very pleased with this pen. I was little bit sceptical about it but once I tried it, I was pleased with it. It’s smooth, it doesn’t scratch the paper like some pens do. The weight is lovely, it’s definitely on the heavier side but not too heavy. Confident to say that I recommend this pen.
