Ellington Pens Luxury Fountain Pen Set- Fountain Pens for Writing - Smooth Nib - Includes Refillable Ink Converter, 3 Ink Cartridges [2 Black & 1 Blue], Gift Box - Elegant Calligraphy

I’ve always written with ballpoint pens, so I was curious to try something more elegant and I’m glad I went for this Ellington fountain pen. On the brand’s own website this pen looked nice but on Amazon it was a much better deal, so I took the plunge. I immediately felt the difference, it’s substantial, but not heavy. The medium nib writes smoothly and consistently, I haven’t experienced any skipping or blotting. I’m getting used to it, I find I write a bit slower and more deliberately now but that’s part of the charm. The pen also comes with a refillable ink converter and three cartridges. The gift box doesn’t give high end vibes but it does the job to keep my pen safe in my bag. It’s a good entry level luxury fountain pen without over spending. I’m really happy with the purchase and I’d absolutely recommend it.

This pen is awesome! As soon as the nib touched the paper, I knew I’d made the right choice. The ink flow was perfect and it dried so quickly. I prefer to use it without the lid as it’s the perfect weight for me and sits so comfortably in my hand. It looks beautiful too. I chose the green one because it looks really classy. I haven’t used a pen and ink for years, so I was rather cautious about buying a fountain pen again. I’ve tried others in the past, but they were disappointing - messy, with uneven ink flow, so now they just sit on my shelf collecting dust. I honestly can’t recommend this pen highly enough. Trust me, you’ll end up throwing out all your other pens, whether they’re ink pens or ballpoints

A beautiful, quality pen and a lovely writer. Very nice to hold, well balanced and light weight. I want an emerald green one as well if I can get it with a medium nib.

I was a little concerned ordering this fountain pen due to some of the marketing claims made by Ellington Pens and a number of not too complementary reviews on YouTube. Lets be clear this is a Chinese made pen produced for Ellington Pens and some of the claims they make are very misleading and possibly untrue. That said, the pen seems to be of a decent quality and writes nicely. Ellington makes claims of it being 'The best balanced pen ever made', I would have to disagree as I have far better balancing pens in my own collection. I find it difficult to use with the cap posted as the hexagonal cap finial throws the balance out completely and it's purpose isn't clear. It's quite a nice writing pen otherwise and is comparable to some other makes in the price range. Competent rather than exceptional. I have taken off one star due to the less than honest marketing employed by Ellington Pens.

Beautiful quality item. Writes beautifully

I absolutely love this fountain pen. For years, I have bought fountain pens both expensive and regular ones. The Ellington pen out does every pen I have ever bought before. The Ellington pen writes smoothly, the ink is continuous, without any scratchy halts or blobs. This pen just writes. You won’t know until you try it. This is it! This is my final pen. I will never buy any other pens.

I was delighted when I first received this pen - it was very handsome in metallic blood red and silver chrome and I loved the little touches like the fact that the cap clipped on smoothly, and didn't need to be twisted open and closed. The nib is also really nice and smooth to write with and the ink flows well, even if I have had it uncapped and on standby for a little while. However, that's more or less where the pros for this pen ends. It quickly becomes apparent how heavy the pen is to hold for long periods. After one A5 page of notetaking, my wrist was getting very achy and I had to keep stopping to rub it. It felt very unbalanced in the hand. The pen cap was also not too firm when uncapped. I had to give the pen a bit of a shake after inserting a new cartridge, and the pen cap flew off and landed the other side of my desk. This then happened a few times afterwards - even in the course of writing. I had to give the cap a little firmer push onto the body to get it to stay in place, and this caused the second major flaw. Because when I came to recap the pen, the lid clicked down, but didn't sit firm on the pen body. In fact, it now rattles up and down making a loud and irritating clicking sound - much like a child's castanet. I also do not see the point of the removable silver bolt on the top of the pen. I can see it adds to the aesthetic, but why make it unscrewable? It often worked its way loose, which meant the pen clip that is held in place by the bolt swivelled around the cap making it really irritating and unbalanced to write with. And its not like you can remove the clip - I did so and found that the bolt just would not screw back properly on the cap, exposing a ring of the milky plastic cap interior. The bolt itself seems to weigh even more than the rest of the pen combined - this is why the pen is so uncomfortable to hold for longer than 20 minutes! So sadly whilst the writing nib is lovely, I will be reverting to using my other fountain pens. Even the disposable fountain pens at a fraction of the price of this Ellington are more comfortable to write with. If I could get a refund on this, I really would. Don't waste your money if you plan on using it for anything more than trotting out the odd shopping list.

Love my new Ellington Pen. Went for a fine nib and glad I did. Lovely weight and writing feel. Excellent price point. Also great customer support. 5stars all round.

(BLACK model) A truly awesome fountain pen. Great weight. Nice balance. Posts well (a bit heavy on the end but manageable). The ink flows with great confidence and boldness on the page. I find the barrel a bit short for where my forefinger and thumb want to ride it. They prefer to be above the cap line but not enough barrel to sit properly in the thumb saddle/webbing. Posting extends the length but, as mentioned earlier, there's a bit of weight to it. Well engineered and a great writing instrument well worth double the price. Happy Happy :) 3 month follow-up: still my favorite writing instrument of the 20+ pens that I have. I just put in a new ink cartridge and it was an effortless transition without having to prime the pen in some way to regain full flow.

Feels nice in the hand and has a luxurious, premium appeal. The nib took some time to wear in and feel smooth but after a week of use it's much improved. The medium nib has a broader pen stroke than I expected. Lines are quivalent width to 0.7mm ballpoint gel ink pens I own despite this one being advertised as 0.5mm. In hindsight I would have picked the fine nib over medium. Parts and accessories are very expensive to ship to Australia, a new nib is almost the same price as a whole new pen.

J'aime beaucoup ce stylo, l'écrite est fluide même après plusieurs jours sans m'en servir, il ne "gratte" pas le papier. La couleur est jolie.

Perfekte Produktqualität zu einem sehr guten Preis - Bestellabwicklung und Lieferung BESTENS! Vielen Dank

I've only tried to write a few words until now, I really appreciate the shape of the fountain pen's body; it's a size that's suitable for my hands that suffer a bit from arthritis pain and therefore I struggle to clench my fingers. The nib scratches a bit on the paper. I loaded it with one of the black cartridges provided and the ink seems good even compared to the one I usually use: the Montblanc black ink
