Lanxivi Duke Ruby Fude Pen Calligraphy Fountain Pen Fine to Broad Size for Signature and Art Drawing with Pen Pouch

This nib takes some getting used to, but is very smooth and I enjoy using it for sketching. The pen looks good, but the barrel does work loose and needs tightening every now and again. The thread feels a little tinny. However it is easy to fill and clean to use. No regrets in buying it.

A nice pen which is comfortable to hold. The nib provides a good ink flow

Sadly the pen has some sort of blockage as I was unable to draw ink into the pen a big problem for an ink pen!

this is a very good fountain pen. This fountain pen allows me to easily control the thickness of the lines I draw, allowing me to vary my lines from thin, medium and broad thickness. This pen is definitely a pen I'll recommend for drawing anime/manga or just drawing in general, especially since it easily alllows variation in line thickness. It is also pretty nice to write with this pen.In addition, this pen has a really cool gold-pattern engraved on its surface, making it nice to look at. The pen's nib is also plated with 18k gold, meaning it is a really good deal for such a cheap pen because gold-plated nibs are usually not expected from pens of such a low price tag, such as this pen's ~30 Canadian dollar price tag. The only minor downside is that this pen's ink converter has a rather small volume for the amount of ink it can hold, meaning that you'll have to refill the ink pretty often.I would definitely recommend this pen to artists or anyone who wants a good writing instrument.

This is a stunningly beautiful pen. It has gorgeous silver-toned metal decorations (rather than a painted or printed design), and has a really nice weight and feel. It also has a barrel that is neither too fat or too skinny, and is balanced in the hand, making it easy to hold and control.I've used many types of fountain pens, technical pens, and nibs in the past, including some very unusual vintage nibs in stick holders, but this is my first fude-nib fountain pen, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect in actual use. I discovered that this one works well flat, on its side, and at various in-between angles, with good ink flow and no skips. It fills with a smooth piston converter, allowing you to use whatever colour ink you like.There were no leaks or excess ink at the nib, and no ink all over my hands while filling it or using it. Ink flow is smooth and controlled, with no bubbles, blobs or unexpected streaks. The ink goes where you expect it to go — definitely not always the case with pen and ink.It is such a pretty pen, and works so well for the kind of drawing that I do, that I now want more pens in this brand. The only thing I didn't love was that it doesn't come with any kind of instructions or insert. If you weren't familiar with how a piston converter works, it would be somewhat mysterious as to how to fill the pen. Also, no box, but it does come with a little drawstring velveteen pouch, which is ultimately far more practical if you're carrying this pen around.I was also very pleased with the customer service I received. Following my query regarding delayed delivery (ultimately due to the pandemic), I received a prompt and courteous reply within a few hours. The item arrived two days after my query, so was already on its way by the time I asked about it.This would make a great gift for any artist who likes using pen and ink. It's definitely great value for the price, and my next pen will probably be a nice Duke fountain pen for writing.
