- Luxury Fountain Pen Set for Writing, Medium Nib, Brown | Gift for Men & Women, Brass Body, 18K German Iridium, Calligraphy, Converter + 24 Ink Cartridges, Refillable, Leak-Free

I remember watching commercials of luxury cars where you see people nicely dressed in glamorous clothes to be ready to experience a night of luxury at its finest. That's how I felt when I picked up this pen. It is an elegant looking pen that's wrapped up in quality packaging that lets you know you are in for an extraordiny writing experience. I purchased Turquoise Gold. I use a Hobonichi planner for my daily writing activities which allows me to journal, schedule, plan, budget, etc. The challenge was finding the right pen for my journaling. It seems like I've gone through so many different pens that didn't seem to accommodate my writing style. I've used a plenty gel pens because the ink is a little darker and the writing is a little smoother. After a while, many of them start to skip when the ink gets below medium level. I felt like the singing U2 song "I Still Havent Found What I'm Looking For!." I then thought of using fountain pens to provide me with a little more flexibility. I never used a fountain pen so this will be a first. I originally purchased a couple of different disposable fountain pens. After writing the first sentence I immediately sent them back for a refund because they started skipping (still havent found what I'm looking for). Then I came across the Wordsworth & Black Collection. I thought, these fountain pens look like a very good quality fountain pens. I was willing to pay the higher price for good quality fountain pen which had good reviews. I then decided to purchase one. If I didn't like it I would return it and move on with my gel pens. When I opened the box and took out the pen, I was so impressed with not only the look of the pen, but the feel and weight of the pen. I felt like I just wanted to get dressed up before writing with this pen ( I was at home working in my pjs). Once I put the ink cartridge in and began to write, my first words I wrote were "Oh My Gosh!" This is truly a high quality luxury pen. I have not ever written with a fine quality fountain pen before but this is a game changer. The writing is very smooth, and it doesnt skip. The ink cartridges are easy to install, and you also have the flexibility of using the Pis Ton Mechanism for bottled ink. The ink doesn't blotch on your paper and allows you to have quite an elegant writing style. I am hoping to purchase some additional pens that I can quickly write with different colors, and looking to purchase the pens without the cartridges. I may have to use this pen to write a song "I Have Finally Found... What I'm Looking For!" Happy Writing!!!

Update - 11-1-20: Two items to update: 1. Replacement pen arrived yesterday evening. Used it with the converter this morning and my Waterman Serenity Blue Ink and it writes beautifully. As well as the last pen wrote before continuously running out of ink. All other positive comments from my original post apply - wonderful pen in the hand, and on paper. 2. Customer Service at Waterman& Black - excellent customer service. THe problem with the 2-day initial reply process is that Waterman & Black Customer Service is in China. TIme difference applies. They read my issue and immediately told me that they were sorry this happened, had a couple of hints on cleaning the pen to clear any blockage (which shouldn't be an issue with a brand new pen), AND informed me they were sending a replacement pen with their apologies. I informed them that I had already returned the faulty pen and had another one coming to me via Amazon. Amazon - one day replacement - THANK YOU. As far as Waterman & Black, I provided my input as to what I believed the problem MIGHT have been - a blocked ink flow tube from material associated with the plastic cartridge that I used first with the first pen. As I said here, I used the replacement pen first off with the converter and my ink bottle and it performs flawlessly. The cartridges they use are thick at the end that goes into the pen barrel toward the head. I don't know the design/style of their piercing/cutting mechanism, but I believe there is a chance a piece of the cartridge blocked the ink channel that prevented flow of ink by gravity, as I could get it to flow only by screwing down the converter barrel plunger every half a page. In any event - we'll see what Waterman & Black say about that. But in the end, I have a functioning pen with the converter. IF Waterman & Black send me another pen as they said they will, I will use a cartridge after verifying proper operation with the converter, to see if the pen experiences an ink flow failure again. I'll stay in touch about the level of customer service to follow up with investigating possible issues with their pens/cartridges. I've used fountain pens a lot throughout my life. I find using them to be artistic and enjoy the feel of good ink flowing on to paper with a quality pen. I purchased this particular pen based on reviews and the color/nib color based on personal preference. My nitial impression of the quality, heft, feel, and balance of this pen in my hand was 'outstanding.' I ordered the additional package of cartridges, and a bottle of Waterman 'Serenity Blue' ink to round out my purchase and happily loaded a blue ink cartridge to see how well it performed. WIth ANY new fountain pen, you have to prime it to begin writing because there's no ink in the nib to pull ink from the chamber/cartridge downward. I shook the pen down to force ink toward the nib to begin writing - nothing. I shook harder, now over paper towels because of the expected large drops to fly out - nothing. I shook it downward vigorously - nothing. I removed the barrel and SQUEEZED the cartridge to force ink into the nib. The cartridge is much more sturdy that the old cartridges I've used in the past - nothing. I removed the cartridge and checked to ensure it had been pierced - it had and I could squeeze ink out of it. I discarded the cartridge and inserted the converter into the pen head to use the bottled ink from Waterman. I used the converter and pulled a full cartridge worth of ink into the pen from the nib in the ink bottle. I began to write. AHA!!! I was rewarded with a beautiful line of ink and I the pen felt like it was gliding over my paper - laying down a beautiful line of ink, and my handwriting felt like it was being rewarded for my efforts to make nice loops, gentle curls, and exact punctuation. I was happy now ..... for about one-half of one page. The ink began to flow slower, until finally it stopped altogether. I had to unscrew the barrel from the head and using the converter screw-plunger apply pressure to the ink inside the converter to push ink into the nib once again. I began writing again and was rewarded once again with a beautiful writing experience ... for one-half of one page. Same story - same result - same corrective measure ......... I wrote to the company in the hopes of some 'insider' information about possible causes of this problem. No answer for two days - in the middle of the week. It's a fountain pen, not a new tech piece of complex industrial electronic or mechanical equipment designed to make my life better. It's a fountain pen, and it simply doesn't work. I purposefully avoided fountain pens that were relatively inexpensive because I thought "If I pay a little more, I'll get a little more." Apparently that idea is incorrect in today's world. I cannot afford a Mont Blanc. I used to use the old standard fountain pens that had the cartridges you used in the caligraphy sets made by the same company ... never had a problem with those pens, but thought they were 'baseline' pens and perhaps I could get a better writiing experience with a pen from a manufacturer that seemed to be a 'cut above.' It seems this company has a fancy website and great product photography and marketing - but nothing more. The pen doesn't work, and they won't respond to an outreach for assistance. I'm returning the pen, and will seek another that simply works for now. Once again, in today's age, I must lower my expectations of the products that are available. WHY can't I find a quality product? I don't mind paying extra for QUALITY, but that term seems to mean little anymore.

Pen has some decent weight to it and is all metal construction. Writes really smooth with almost zero drag at all on paper. Build quality is amazing. Pen does go through ink tubes rather quickly though so make sure to buy extras. Highly recommend at this price point. Have had other pens that cost twice as much and half the quality as these.

The Wordsworth & Black fountain pen set with the broad nib is a pleasure to write with. It has a solid, high quality feel and looks very elegant. The broad nib lays down a smooth, bold line that makes handwriting stand out nicely without skipping. It’s easy to use right out of the box and comes with everything you need.

These pens write so smoothly. I have given several as gifts and the recipients love them!

1.) The metal clip that is on the lid that keeps it snug in your shirt pocket was Very loose. Making it inoperable as far as storing it in your pocket for (On The Go-Purposes)... 2.) I seemed to be having slight issues out of the Nib because at times it would write perfect bold lines and then all of a sudden write very small ultra fine lines. I went out of my way to go and surpass my personal experience learned/acquired over the years by spending about an hour researching via-internet using various sources. I found no resolution and no help as the pen intermediately still does this. 3.) I contacted Amazon by submitting an online return and they said that they would send me a new one and I needed to mail the original purchased pen back to them. I was given a small window-Timeframe to do this before my Credit Card was charged for the full purchase price. I think that is fair and meets my expectations as far as customer support/customer satisfaction... 4.) Down side is that I live in a Very small rural community and I do not have a UPS where I live. However, there is plenty of drop off places designated for UPS and their Customers... that being said all in the same breath, I do not drive.. So, do I spend money to have someone take me to the UPS Store about 45-minutes give or take a few minutes. Or do I spend money and pay for shipping myself with someone that will pick it up from my house like UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. Because UPS here doesn't offer the option to come out to your house for the purposes to box it and ship it back to Amazon. On a scale of a 1-10 with one being not good at all and 10 being Perfection I would have to say that The look of the pen is beautiful it is shiny however not to shiny so it does NOT leave smudges and oily fingerprint impression like most of my fountain pens in the past I give that a 10! I think the weight & the balance of the pen gets an 8. Functionality part of the pen as far as holding it, smooth writing, Consistency, accuracy and such I would give that a 7. Customer service thus far which I haven't received my new pen yet and I haven't sent the old one on its way back yet. So I guess I'm 50% into this transaction... So far, customer service gets a 10. Shipping and the speed receiving it a 10. The accuracy on this listing a 10. The value for the money compared to others advertised not to mention you get a gift box which is neat and you get some disposable cartridges of both black and blue ink it definitely gets a 10. This particular pen judging Everything combined to be completely honest and fair probably an 8. I hope that I wasn't too negative and I hope that I don't sound ridiculous like some pushy salesman. I'm on disability and every dollar counts these days. So, this is my first descriptive review that I am leaving on here because others that did this which I read many helped weigh in Tremendously and helped with the pros and cons on how influential my purchase was going to be. These are my thoughts & opinions on the workmanship, the customer service, accuracy of the pen and its listing/description, value etc etc on this buying and experience and I hope that it is beneficial to people. Im afraid nobody will ever read this and the ones that do will absolutely hate what I've said.

Magnifica penna stilografica con un rapporto qualità prezzo eccellente. Elegante, con un'ottima impugnatura e un tratto molto fluido. Complimenti

Picture showed that it comes with both red and black ink cartridges but it only came with black ink ones. Ink leaks a little while capped. Dirtied my fingers when using. Pen is not bad and quite fine to use. Not really nice to use. Really average or below that To Amazon, you are a premium intermediary, please do supply only great and best products, otherwise let other suppliers do it. .

I like the feel and appearance of this fountain pen. Adding the ink is pretty simple and the instructions well presented in the small booklet coming with it. The fine nib writes a bit thicker than I expected, but it is not a deal breaker. Overall this is a very good product.

I bough the pen in silver gold trim. It came in a beautiful faux leather box with 6 cartridges of ink and a converter. The pen is beautiful. It has a premium look. Taking off the cap and putting it back on feels amazing - it doesn't quite click into place it's more of a snap - and is held securely in place. The cap can also be held securely on the back of the pen when writing. The pen I received was not like the one shown in the pictures. The nib says 'genius ridium' on it instead of having that nice "WB" signet shown in the picture. But that was just the beginning of my trouble. The pen itself wrote horribly. Skipping and scratching and spilling ink all over my finger. Closely examining the nib I could see that the slit was not cut straight but to the side slightly. Also the right side of the nib was bent higher then the left. Obviously, this is what caused the poor writing. I contacted the seller about this and the same day they told me they would be sending me a replacement. They did not ask me to return the original pen. The new pen arrived in about 2 business days. As soon as I took it out of the same nice faux leather box that the original came in I examined the nib. This time it looked straight. I popped in the ink and began to write. This 2nd pen writes beautifully. It's very smooth and glides on the paper like hot butter on a pan. It hardly ever skips. The only issue is it might be a little too wet. I'm new to fountain pens so I don't have so many others to compare this too but when I take off the cap it sometimes spits out so ink with it. I'll have to be careful and take of the cap gently. Overall, I'm very happy with the customer service I received and the quality of the second pen. For the price - the pen in a deal!

Très joli. Reçu avec cartouches et belle écriture
