Faber-Castell Grip Edition Fountain Pen and Ballpoint Pen Set - All Black

I've bought four Faber-Castell fountain pen. Three of them are just like this one (Plastic) with different size nibs.They are wonderful to use. It doesn't matter how long you let them sit they just work, you can buy easy to use cartridges or you can buy a re-usable cartridge you can refill (I have both) and it's up to you.I've bought a Parker fountain pen, a Waterman fountain pen and a Pilot fountain pen. They are all terrible. I really, really wanted my Parker pen to be wonderful, mostly because of nostalgia but it terrible.All four of my Faber-Castell pens work great, they don't drip, easy to use, comfortable on the had and the best part is they always work. If you run out of ink and replace the cartridge it starts writing right away. You cannot get a better pen for this price. Don't waste your money on Waterman, Parker or Pilot (unless you want to be frustrated, have the pen stop writing mid sentence, inky fingers and drips.

No dislikes. Writes well. Feels good in the hand while writing.

Fits nicely in the hand with triangular shape and small grips. One improvement would be to add a metal tip over the plastic body like their silver and black pens. (This one is gold)

Like this product. I have one and have handed out a few as tokens of appreciation. It is plastic (so the quality isn’t the highest).

I own maybe 30 fountain pens and use this more than any them. This is a repurchase. Originally bought medium nib, which was a little wet for me so I bought the EF nib which is perfect for my style of writing/drawing.

Smooth Writing Pen. I love it.

The pen's subtle triangular rubber grip make it easy to hold the pen correctly.The barrel and the cap are both relatively long, not suitable for using the pen with the cap posted.Its EF nib is super fine, finer than Japanese Kakuno's Fine nib or LAMY's EF. Suitable for writing kanji in small font, a plus for me.The ink leaks from the feeder onto the screw part, making a mess on my fingers even after I wipe the ink off multiple times. Quality control issue?

Have used and loved Faber-Castell fountain pens for a long time. Unfortunately this one arrived in non-working condition- no ink flow. Has been returned.
