BEILUNER Black Fountain Pen,Stunning Luxury Piano Lacquer,24K Gilded Nib(Fine),Gorgeous 24K Gold Finish, Ink Converter,Trustworthy Gift for Men&Women-Elegant, Reliable,Executive,Nice Pens for Writing

The first box I received was damaged on the outside but the Pen Presentation Box was fine inside - the problem was there were no contents - none. No pen, converter, or ink. Amazon quickly sent another with apologies. The second pen arrived quickly and was complete. There was slight damage/creasing to the outer box but the Presentation Box was perfect. Pen is beautiful and has been flawless over the first few days. I carry the pen in my shirt pocket. It has a strong clip and no leaking/dripping of any kind. I cannot imagine a better Pen Set for the money (note: I bought while there was a $10 coupon offer). I will add a writing sample when I have proper paper and desk, so my writing is presentable. Block printing can leave enough ink to smear if not allowed a few seconds before handling. All writing has been very smooth, no skips. I am a 'beginner' fountain pen enthusiast but have no issues when writing. inverted worked like a finer tip and still could write skip free. Recommended. Converter has not been used yet but functions smooth & has a double seal not seen on higher priced pens I considered. Will try to update review once it has been tried.

It is so much fun learning how to write with a fountain pen. This is a great luxury pen that requires almost zero effort to write with. I suffer from hand cramps when writing, they completely stopped when writing with this pen. Ink flow is a bit fast but not sloppy, good weight, very comfortable.

Wonderful pen with a classy, understated elegance...writes flawlessly with easy ink flow...balanced weight in the hand...a very natural writing experience...bought one for a gift.

Grandson likes it. Says he feels fancy when he uses it.

Recently, my love of writing with a fountain pen was re-iginited, ironically, from listening to an audio book about an art store which sold fine pens, of all things. That led me to look for an inexpensive fountain pen that I could use for daily writing, anywhere, and the Beiluner pen hit all of the boxes for me.I was gifted a very expensive Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149 decades ago, but hadn’t used it much because of its value. I love writing with fountain pens, and even lost a favorite Waterman years ago which I’ve never been able to replace. So, I on the hunt for an every day carry pen, and was very pleasantly surprised when I found the Beiluner fountain pen.Pros:- Inexpensive … only $37 USD ($27 with coupon)- Uses both cartridges AND converter (included … I only use well ink)- Distinctive styling with lacquered finish and 24K gold plated nib- Choice of medium or fine nibs (I prefer fine).- Nice gift box … great presentation for giving (I already bought 2 more as gifts!).- Writes smoothly, with even ink flow … it glides over the paper with no snagging, stuttering, or blotching. It’s literally smoother than a roller-ball pen.- Honestly, the experience rivals my Mont Blanc but at a fraction of the price ($37 USD vs. ~$$$Insane.00 USD)Cons:- Literally None!Testing:I’ve been journaling my travels (at home after I return) using the Mont Blanc. It never leaves the house because I’d be heart broken if I ever lost or dropped it. To put the Beiluner to the test, I’ve been alternating between the two, and have written several pages over the last several days with both pens. I almost prefer writing with the Beiluner, only because of its fine nib (the Mont Blanc came with a medium nib) and the way it glides over the pages, the same as the Mont Blanc. With its narrower barrel, it fits my hand much better than the thicker Mont Blanc, and I find I can write longer without hand fatigue.Conclusion:So, if you couldn’t already tell, I highly recommend the Beiluner for its affordability, smooth writing feel, consistent ink flow, and ergonomic feel in my hand. I know some may shade me for for comparing a premium Mont Blanc with an Amazon special, but I’m fortunate enough to have access to both and provide this honest review for anyone who is curious just how good these pens are. Also, my review is mine alone, not sponsored and I paid for my this pen like everyone else. And yes, I’m keeping it and any other pens I review in the future.

Not many people still use fountain pens, and I was suspicious of a made-in-China pen for such a low price. I am happy to report that I am very pleased by this Beiluner pen, with fine tip. Writing with the pen is smooth, and the line width of Fine Tip is just right for me.Various postings have complained about the pen's writing being too broad and/or the ink spreads. This is the fault of the paper, not the pen. Writing on "printer paper" does not work. The ink spreads and bleeds through. This is part of the design of the paper for inkjet printing. Normal paper for writing has sizing to prevent spreading and bleeding. (Go to Wikipedia and search on "sizing" for more info.) It is like writing on newsprint instead of magazine paper. The pen works well with pages for school notebooks or stationery. Note: For signing letters, use quality "bond" paper. Do not use "printer" paper because of the bleeding, unless you want a big bold signature. Of course, the bleed-through would be convincing evidence that the signature is real, not just a printed graphic ;-)The pen with ink and cap weigh 32 g (1 oz.); without cap 21 g. Yes, it heavier than most ballpoint pens, but not a problem; I like it.The pen came with the "converter" insert installed, and that is good. I do not use disposable cartridges for various reasons. Some notes on filling: Immerse pen tip deeper into the ink to load than the instructions show. Must go all the way to the gold ring, or only air is drawn in. Test: Lower the piston to displace air with the pen in the ink. If there are no bubbles, it is not deep enough and will not draw ink. A side effect is that the ink bottle needs to have a lot of ink to be deep enough.

I highly recommend this pen. It is designed and made of quality materials. It is also a beautiful pen. Its ink flows smoothly on paper. It uses cartridges that are easily changed.

This is an extraordinarily beautiful pen BUT ink will not flow into it from the accompanying cartridge. I tried two and gave up -- I did not want to try the converter, fearing that would mean I could not return the pen. The box it came in is stunning, too, but, after all, the quality of a pen is its writing and this does not. ...If I get another, I will come back here. ...
