Jinhao Baoer 388 Stainless Steel Fountain Pen Writing Set 0.5mm Medium-Fine Nib ~ Includes Pen + 5pk BLACK Cartridges...

This fountain pen costs the same as a disposable fountain pen, so is amazing value for money. The main thing is that it writes so well - very smooth. It is also very stylish and built from good materials. I haven't deducted any stars for its flaws because of its price, but they are: cap does not post and the supplied cartridges are difficult to fit.

Incredible little pen! I'm fountain pen obsessive and being illustrator, I've used anything from Lamy,to Rotring to Faber-Castell. I have hundreds of German and Japanese pens,but this pen was a total surprise for it's incredible value and amazing quality. The smallest nib I've ever seen,yet writes smooth and without scratch. Surprisingly light,despite being stainless steel.It might be too light for people, who like heavy pens,but for others like me,who constantly write stories and doddle it's simply perfect! Highly recommended. It arrived the next day after being dispatched,which was simply amazing!(not on prime).

Looked lovely and was nice to write with it was a gift for my nephew along with leather nephew journal only thing that lets it down was the package it should be in a nice box

This pen is perfect. It has a super comfortable weight distribution and looks extremely professional. It glides across the page with no effort. The provided Jinhao ink will slightly bleed through thinner paper, but is extremely fast-drying and very smooth. The pen also comes with a refillable cartridge if you wish to use your own ink. Changing cartridges is painless and the ink flows to the nib relatively quickly. The body of the pen is full metal, giving it a really nice weighty feeling in your hand, and the lid snaps onto the bottom of the pen for convenient storage while writing. Overall an amazing budget option.

This pen is heavier than cheaper pens so does take some getting used to but it's worth the effort!

Good quality, and weighted well.

This pen writes fine and feels comfortable, but unfortunately it is very leaky. I was writing for about 5 minutes holding the lid in my other hand and ended up with ink everywhere from just the lid. But it does explain why I found the pen empty after previously filling it... so unfortunately the pen seems to leak into the lid and then the lid leaks. It had also leaked into a bag. I'll have to try and seal it up somehow as it's a nice pen otherwise.

You will need ink......the website is not clear enough....for older people.....I still haven't been able to use it .... because ink is difficult....to purchase...off line
