Faber-Castell Hexo 150571 Fountain Pen Nib Width F Matte Black

Splendid all round. Comfortable in the hand.Excellent broad nib with generous ink flow. A very good buy.

Lovely writing pen. I thought it was faulty as it would flow on the day it arrived. I’m used to pens and did everything reasonable to get it flowing. No luck.Then I went to bed and the following day it was working beautifully, I can only assume a stubborn air pocket.For the price it works really well. It’s perfect for lined / modern paper. Not to keen on cartridge paper / posh writing paper as the flow comes out a little heavy for my taste (or maybe I write too slowly)I’ll be using it for daily writing outside the house where I won’t be using my old Parker pen anyway and it’ll be perfect for that.I’ve bought the matching cartridge converter which I’ll try once it’s run out.The vendor was very willing to exchange if the unit had been faulty, happily that was not the case

I liked the colour, and the option for an extra fine nib, which writes really well. But the colour of the cap is very slightly darker than the body, which I would of thought that FC would of got the quality bang on.. not changing though.

It's perfectly sized and the hexagonal barrel unique at this price point. It's beautifully finished, very light and strong, and easy to uncap and write with. The nib does not flex at all, it is smooth and although it will need some writing-in, it starts immediately and will be excellent. I've fitted it with a standard converter and it fills without fuss. It's as good as an inexpensive pen can be, and made in Europe.

I’m a Faber Castell fan anyway and like their other pens this one is great.

The pen in itself is close to perfection especially bearing the price range. Hard to fault the EF nib which is surprisingly smooth, and the solid build quality. However the pen was advertised as having a cartridge converter which wasn't provided. I might not have bought the pen ion I had realised that a cartridge converter wasn't provided. To buy one now, with the cost of postage makes the pen a considerably more expensive purchase. Luckily I had a spare cartridge converter

Amazon described the shaft as being made of extruded aluminium.. in fact it is cheap plastic …. Altogether an inferior product for the money and no blue ink cartridge … I am very disappointed with it

Its a nice pen but disappointed it come with a converter for bottled ink
