AsvineDark Green Forest Fountain Pen Fine Nib Classic Design with Converter and Metal Pen Case Set

This is my first fountain pen purchase in years, and the thousands of positive reviews for this one did NOT lie. The weight screams quality and durability, like I could prise open a car door with it. The all-black aesthetic gives it an elegant but no-nonsense look. The textured barrel isn’t overly aggressive and feels quite comfortable. Mine’s loaded with Pelikan Royal Blue, which makes this pen even more of a total workhorse, and it performs beautifully every time I upcap it. This is one of the few of my pens that I have no worries about posting because of the isolated section of the barrel where the cap locks on. The cap has a very satisfying click with just a tad of resistance. This pen is a fantastic way to dip your toe in the fountain pen pool for cheap and still have a great experience. I’d definitely buy another Hongdian.

I got this pen to ink in my drawings an it has been working great. The lines are nice an strait, the pen feels good to hold, and the short thin design makes it feel almost weightless in hand.Good to write with too but I use it mostly for drawing. Such a fancy design for a cheap but still quality fountain pen that is easy to use. It’s even fun to fill up the pen once you figure out how to do it.Filling up the pen is as simple as twisting down the mechanism at the top/inside of the pen and then dipping the tip of the pin into the bottle of ink, then twisting the mechanism back up and from there you should have curated a suction that will draw in the ink. Make sure the tip of the pen is just about completely submerged in the ink before twisting up.

On the Black Matte, extra fine tip pen 5 STARS: I bought 2 pens to try out and this one has become my everyday pen. It flows nice. The weight is great. Refilling is a breeze, I don't swap out cartridges, I refill the one it came with. My hand doesn't hurt and my hand and wrist don't become fatigued easily when I use it. My only wish would be that the pen be a little fatter. This would help even more with hand and wrist fatigue and be great for people like me that have had issues with carpel tunnel before or who have arthritis but still want to use an amazing pen like this one. I have both of those things and while it makes me want to reach for my Dr G pen I don't because I just love this pen that much. I just take more breaks. I will be buying the next size up in nib however as the extra fine feels like it will rip standard, everyday paper. That or maybe it's just the harsh scratching that makes me think that. Either way I think the ink flow would also be better with the larger nib. Still by far my favorite pen!On the Fine Tip Pen 3 STARS: It writes like a Medium sized tip. Slightly less scratchy on the paper, less feeling like it will rip the page but the flow is very heavy causing it to bleed through. Overall still feels good on paper. Not what I was expecting and I may send it back if the flow issue doesn't resolve it's self quickly.On the Medium Tip Pen 4 STARS: Flows exactly how you'd expect and actually flows slightly lighter than the Fine Tip reviewed above which is why that one might be returned. I may still not keep this one as it flows just heavy enough that with my handwriting letters get blotted out, unfortunately, which is due to my own writing style, not because of the pen having any defect that I can tell.I wrote out a quick example for each pen and I hope my picture shows the flow difference well. There are different color inks in Pen #1 & 3 but all inks are from the same manufacturer.

I've used this pen every day for the past year and am EXTREMELY satisfied with it's purchase. The only wear and tear that I see on the pen is some finish chipping around the top of the cap. But i'm very hard on this pen. It has been dropped countless times.Not only has the been held up well, but it still writes perfectly. The nib is still in great shape and the ink flows really well. I've had a slight issue with messiness of ink around the nib and inside of the cap, but I'm assuming that is from rough handling on my part.When i logged on to write this review, I saw where the warranty allowed me to return this for a new pen as late as January of 2023, which is 15 months after purchase. That's absolutely insane that they would honor that warranty for so long.While i think I could get a new pen based on the chipping (not sure) I will not. If anything happens to this pen I will gladly purchase a new one as they've earned it.This will be my go to pen for gifting and personal use as the price point is just unmatched (in my opinion) for the quality.

This pen is awesome! The fact that it is all metal is fantastic! This is a pen that I take everywhere. It really does encourage me to write more. It’s got a good weight and it’s got excellent flow. Having a pen that I can refill over and over feels like I’m doing my part to not dump yet another plastic pen in the landfill. This would also make an excellent gift for anyone you know that loves to write by hand.

I'm new to Fountain pens, but after doing tons of research after getting a zebra fountain at Walmart, I found this pen to be absolutely funominal when it comes to smooth glide and 0 bleed. Just enough ink every time. It does take a little to get used to if it's your first few fountain pens. But this one is by far my favorite. Now I'm just curious what a $300+ one feels and writes like 😅 I can't imagine it being much different...

Nicely weighted/balanced. The ink flows easily and naturally from the extra-fine point tip. It's a real pleasure to write with this instrument. Material quality and manufacture seem to be excellent. I've owned a lot of fountain pens over the years (I'm over 60), and this is the best I've had in hand. Highly recommend one of these if you're looking for a quality but inexpensive fountain pen.

The product is certainly overrated. Seller offers cash back for writing positive reviews. I fell for the reviews and ordered straight nib pen. To be honest, I did not find it worth the price. Pen is good for sure but certainly no where close to competitors. In fact I am overwhelmed with the quality of Amazon basic fountain pen which I got at 1/4th price.

If you love writing, this is the way to go. Have been using premium pens for a while to confirm this pen gives more bang for the buck.Buy it with your eyes closed.

I had ordered a bamboo fountain pen from another retailer here and as nice as the pen was, it was a waste of money since I cannot order a replacement nib. Therefore I ordered this great pen.It comes with a fine nib in which I usually prefer a medium nib but it writes amazingly well with the fine and the medium isn't necessary at all. The pen doesn't blot ink during use, writes smoothly without any skipping, scratching or bleeding on the paper.The pen is surprisingly heavy, which I prefer and it comes across more as tactical/military style pen than a pretty boy luxury pen style. Its perfect for a mens fountain pen definitely, one I would highly recommend for anyone to buy or for a wife/girlfriend to purchase for their man. I would most certainly buy another for a back up writer, it's a solid 5/5 rating.

The pen is a bit light for my liking and the grip section is a bit short making the pen strange to hold but it will likely be fine with smaller handed individuals. Nib is good quality for the price and writes smoothly. Get decent ink to avoid obstructions and drying in the nib after sitting overnight.

If you're on the edge for this pen - get it. I've had a bunch of fountain pens, nothing crazy expensive, but probably everything from the $10 to around the $150. Fine nibs always seem to scratch the paper, or do not flow properly, and the larger nibs I often end up turning upside down to I can write as fine as I want.This pen finally has the balance! Flow is great. Line thickness just right.It doesn't feel as amazing as some pens I've had (I like heavy and thick) but this still feels like quality. Good click to the cap. (Stationery nerds - you know what I mean.)Oh, and matte black = super cool.Highly recommend.
