Fountain Pen, Brass Pen Smooth Writing Travel Pocket Fude Pen Nib：0.5MM

The pen I received was scratched and was not as “clean” as the pen in the photo. That wasn’t a big issue since this pen is intended for EDC. I had issues getting the ink to flow but I switched from a cartridge to the included converter with some Waterman ink and it worked perfectly. It writes smoothly and is worth the purchase. I was actually going to get the brand name similar pen but $15 is better than $60 plus.

Ordered to play with fude nib and a brass fountain pen. Definitely a Kaweco doppelganger, but longer. Some reviews said it came with additional nib or nibs. The product package was broken, so maybe the fude nib fell out. Writes well out the box. I hope the converter works as well as dipping.

I took off the gooey lacquer with a rotary tool and silicone flap polishers, used a tiny diamond file to clean the lacquer out of the threads, removed the ugly clip, and adjusted and polished the nib.It is now a great pen. Mine came with a single nib, about EF, that says it was made in germany.

I'm not sure what to say about this pen. It is reall brass, which is a plus. Feels weighty and sturdy and looks very similar to the Kaweco that it is imitating. It writes how you would expect a sub $20 pen would write. A little scratchy, heavy flow, but sometimes skips or doesn't immediately flow on the first stroke. My biggest gripe is that it came completely scratched up all around the entire circumference. The other issue is that the clip is very loose. I'm talking loose around the pen. It slides off very easily and I lost the clip on the very first day I clipped it to my pocket. The pen just slipped down into my pocket and the clip fell to the ground somewhere along my commute. It did come with extra nibs which is nice. Kept it for no reason other than to have a throw around pen.

I wanted to try a small pocket sized brass pen. I have lots of Kaweco pens, but I am not a "brand" junkie. I am always curious about something that may be different. This pen had features the Kaweco didn't - the clip, a Fude nib, and an interesting design. Since the pen was so reasonable in price and had such mixed reviews I thought it was a gamble, but still wanted to try it. Surprise! It wrote beautifully from the very beginning, didn't need any tweaking to perform. I can write in reverse (with the nib upside down) to get an even finer line. The ink flow is excellent. It writes on any kind of paper. The pen has character and the line it puts down is interesting. I understand there are others who aren't as fortunate in the pen they receive, but for me the pen was a surprising and delightful winner. It is a favorite!in every respect.

Mine had good nibs. I had to work them to make them usable. I also lost the clip because it came off. Its sort of heavy and the bent nib is compltley useless for writing. Look up how to work nibs in if yours doesnt work. Buy it dont buy it. Just lower your expectations.

I ordered this pen as well as the original Kaweco Classic Sport together..This pen writes as smooth as Kaweco with no skip issues or hard starts.. It has a converter and clip (which are additional accessories for Kaweco). There’re two additional nibs too which I’ve yet to try. With a brass finish, this pen has a more classy / elegant look compared to a plastic Kaweco which costs more.All in all, I’m happy I bought this pen. This is a good VFM.

The nib is awful, and it is absolutely not a fude. It is incredibly scratchy, and I wouldn't want to use it for any length of time. I put the nib from my Picasso pen in it, and it writes beautifully now. Seriously, picassos are wonderful for the price The body of this pen, though, feels wonderful. I love the weight and substance. I think I'll sand off the laquer to let it age naturally over time, maybe. I like the size when capped, and I feel like it'll last a long time and endure lots of wear and tear.
