Sheaffer100 Matte Black Fountain Pen (9317-0)

This is a nice solidly built pen. It has a medium point which writes out the lettering a little thicker than I wanted. Other than that I'm really going to enjoy this pen for the years to come.

Love it!It took a while to break in but once it did, .... very nice.Smooth but not so smooth your pen slips on the paper.I use the adapter (that comes with the pen) for the ink storage (sorry, can't recal what the actual name of the thingy is called.)I use the Sheaffer Skrips Blue (Slovenia)ink and I ALWAYS get compliments on it.It's got god weight both posted and unposted.The only drawback that I can see (feel) is the part of the barrel where you grip the penis polished smooth...very smooth and the pen tends to slip and little or twist. It took a while ot figure out how to hold it and write with it so that wouldn't happen.I think this is a good "starter" fountain pen especially for the price.

Pen looks great, but what I really don't like about it is how the cartridge mounts. It sits flush with the bottom of the pen. Most cartridges are receessed into the bottom part. Since this isn't it has the tendency for ink to leak a little around the outside of the cartridge. Writes well, but this is a design flaw IMO.

I got this as a gift from my hubby...Looove it. very smooth, writes as if it glides. Have not used it much yet but planning to. It is "the pen"

Smooth writing in most angles but ink flow is a little too much on certain papers. Little too heavy compared to other pens.

I really liked the way this pen wrote. Smooth, nice tip. Felt substantial in my hand and good balance. But after 2 month it begin to leak. The converter wouldn't fill all the way and when I removed the top and went to write the finger grip had ink on it. I'm not sure what was leaking, but it was very disappointing. If it was the converter, I would be wary of getting another Shaeffer since the converter looks "universal" for the brand. I've had various Shaeffer pens since 1960's and was always happy with them. This is disappointing. I will be searching and researching other brands.

the chrome shank adjacent to the nib is too slippery to grip. Fingers keep sliding down towards the nib. wrapped in tape, not very elegant but works.

Good heavy fountain pen with medium nib. Writes smoothly ink flows well. Came with converter for bottled ink and works well.

Love fountain pens and love this one and it is a pleasure to use.

A very nice pen, takes cartridges or old style filler included.Writes very nicely.

Utilizzo quotidianamente penne stilografiche e oramai non posso più farne a meno da quando ho iniziato le scuole medie (15 anni fa).Ho preso questa penna per un uso universitario e lavorativo sperando di trovare un prodotto valido in una fascia economica di mercato; diciamo che assolve egregiamente al suo compito ma ho penne migliori nella mia collezione (anche su questa fascia di prezzo).Il pennino è scorrevole e ha un buon flusso d'inchiostro, è abbastanza rigido e la misura media è forse leggermente più grossa del dovuto (di poco). La costruzione è molto classica ma sembra reggere nel tempo in quanto a qualità.Nota dolente: il converter e le cartuccie perdono qualche goccia all'interno del corpo penna, non fuoriesce dallo stesso in quanto è chiuso a vite ma bisogna prestare attenzione alle operazioni di caricamento o ci si sporca inutilmente. Non credo sia un difetto dell'esemplare da me acquistato ma un difetto nel meccanismo di "ancoraggio" dei converter e delle cartuccie che è sostanzialmente molto lasco e diverso da tutte le altre penne in mio possesso.

Difícilmente encontraremos algo tan satisfactorio en la escritura en este rango de precios como esta Sheaffer.Presentación, tacto, apariencia, todo agradable y por encima de la media, con opción de relleno por succión de tinta o cartucho standard, inmediatamente cobra vida en las manos para recordarnos que la escritura puede ser algo muy especial.Recomendable tanto para iniciarse como para regalar con satisfactorios resultados.
