Pelikan Twist Fountain Pen with 1 Ink Cartridge, Medium Nib, Silver, Boxed (947101)

For an inexpensive pen, it writes beautifully. Only problem, the cap doesn't post to the back of the pen. Not a real problem for me. A joy to write w/ light weight so you don't get tired if writing for a while.

I bought it to allow my granddaughter to use. It keeps her holding the pen correctly to the paper. I have used it and it seems to flow great and never hard starts. The design is weird to hold at first but it works great. Not heavy and posts well even with the shape. The nib is very smooth and seems to take a lot more pressure like a steel nib should.

Good starter fountain pen. The body is plastic and light weight. While the common composition paper that been used to right on my be the main issue, looking to hone the nib to smooth out the flow of travel across the paper as the feedback is...."stiff". Others have commented about the right hand twist and triangular shape of the body being an issue. This is dependent upon the user and hand size. The triangular cross section keeps the pen in hand and from rolling away when set down. With the twist, would not think to recommend for a left handed writer. One does need to find out what will and will not work for them though.

This fountain pen looks, feels and writes so smooth. I have a number of fountain pens and this one won me over so much that I had to stop using it and write this review immediately. It contains a large ink cartridge that I wasn't expecting and definitely appreciated. The medium nib glides over standard copy paper and doesn't pick up any loose fibers thanks to its even ink flow. I tend to use 28-32 lbs paper for my planner, so seeing its capability on copy paper made me happy.

Let me just say, for the cost of this pen, it’s really not a bad pen... for the right user. Alas, I am not that user. I bought the Twist to try and get a feel for Pelikan nibs before I purchased a higher end one. The nib itself is pretty nice for a pen under $15. It’s pretty smooth and the ink flowed very well (I think my ink selection was a bit on the dry side, but I feel like that’s more the ink than the pen). As for its look, I think the rose gold/metallic pink look is super nice. Very cute in this color. The cap snaps tight, but when trying to open it, sometimes the section twists off the pen, which can be annoying, but wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I had concerns from the beginning that I may not enjoy the pen. The angular shape of the section (the place where you hold the pen) makes it uncomfortable to hold. So much so that I get distracted by it. I have a few Lamy Safaris/Al-Stars that I never use for the same exact reason, but on a less distracting level. I am a left handed underwriter (writing with the paper at an angle). I’m wondering if that’s the reason why I don’t like these types of pens or if I just prefer a more round (Cylindrical?) section. Also, one of the features Amazon asked me to rank after the overall was sheerness. “Sheerness?” In the 5 or so years of being a fountain pen enthusiast, I’ve never thought about or seen a discussion about the “sheerness” of a pen. Eh. Maybe something got lost in translation.

I haven't received this pen yet, but I will give a solid review when it arrives. In the meantime, please don't change the description as 'girly'. I collect pink pens of all types, and part of their appeal is that they are feminine, and yes, 'girly'. **UPDATE** I have received my 'girly' Pelikan Twist Fountain Pen and it is awesome! It is a beautiful metallic pink; it took just a few seconds to start writing after the cartridge was inserted, and it was very smooth. The triangular design makes holding the pen very comfortable; I'm very pleased with my purchase and can't wait to show it off.

This is a really cute pen that is great for beginners forraying into the world of fountain pens: the grip is easier than Lamy for children or people with disabilities. Highly recommend at the price point. One detractor: the cap doesn’t sit fully flush atop causing it to come off during writing.

I like the pen, it is pretty comfortable write with. The weird twist shape took a little getting used to when removing the cap. You can't just pull it off, you have to twist it while pulling. It is not always clear which way is the top and which is the bottom. Maybe a clip or a clear difference between the cap and body would help. The ink flows nicely using the included ink cartridge. It uses international standard cartridges, so one of my generic converters would fit it if I chose to use a different ink. Overall it writes very nicely for an inexpensive pen.

Unique design, the colour finish is great; Pelikan branding is seen on one side of the body and logo is available on top of the cap. The grip section is well placed and fingers fall in place. Medium nib is butter smooth and the ink flow is good. I have paired it with Syahi Brinjal purple ink, it suits the pen. Cons The pen doesn’t come with converter and one needs to shell out quite a bit for it, however, the cartridge can be refilled with syringe and needle.

a great ergonomic design with nice proportions for an adult male hand reliable material nicely finished handsome mine has a smooth 'F' nib I enjoy using the Pelikan Twist

Minha primeira caneta tinteiro, um sonho de infância rs A caneta apesar do design incomum, faz deste seu maior trunfo. É bonita; é discreta mas causa uma impressão. A escrita é suave, mesmo em papel comum. Acompanha um cartucho grande de tinta azul - não sei se é empolgação minha em utiliza-la, mas parece que em um dia, 1/10 da tinta já se foi, o que me faz pensar que foi uma boa ideia incluir na compra alguns cartuchos extra.
