Faber-CastellGrip Edition Fountain Pen and Ballpoint Pen Set - All Black

This is a really nice pen to write with, the nib selection was ideal, not too wide, and it flows easily. Maybe its the ink but it doesn't appear to dry put to the point where it takes a lot of priming, didn't use it for a month and it still flowed straight away. Lovely grip, not heavy, and a pen I now use almost exclusively. Brilliant.

I bought this pen specifically for the thick nib as I have a couple of (more expensive) pens but the nibs are too thin. It is so much nicer to write with than the expensive pens, and nowhere near as heavy (because they're made of metal) so much easier to transport. It flows really nicely and I love my writing with it. It's super easy to replace the cartridges (although you can't use all types of cartridge, I've got the Faber Castell branded ones after failing with leftover Parkers) and no leaking. The grip is nice, with the bumps for traction. The clip on the lid has started to look a little chipped after a few months, but everything else is still in perfect condition. I even bought another one for my child because I love mine so much.

I love the pen but I would have liked a "filler".....the one I ordered didn't fit. Yes, I love it. Great in the hand, writes well, love it, great price.

Excellent quality product

Honestly i did expected a little bit better quality of the plastic for this price, but it's not bad. It's actually very comfortable, the B nib size is just as thick as I wanted, i think it's a good pen. I bought suitable faber castell converter to use with my Dr. PH. Martin bombay black ink and it works perfectly fine. Nothing is leaking, ink flow is very good, writing is super smooth.

Was really enjoying this pen! The ink flowed well, was comfortable to hold and the nib was nice and chunky. However, the pen has broken - the cushion/easy grip has broken away from the pen and is stuck in the lid. Sure, I bought this last year but I would have expected at £20+ pen to last a lot longer.

The media could not be loaded. Eventually this pen writes really nicely and the hold and the ergonomics of it for your hands and are really good. However you cannot use other cartridges in there because it is really only designed for that one type of cartridge which means that that you will get frustrated and may even block the nib if you use cheaper inks. I had to press my lips so hard to get the ink flowing with a cheaper cartridge that I think I have damaged the nib so do be careful and if you are experiencing issues with your hand it is probably the ink not the pen.

It delivers too much ink to the page, which causes the ink to bleed through to the next page. It is this that is the difference between a good and poor ink pen. This fails the test unfortunately.
