Luxury Fountain Pen Set for Writing - Smooth Medium Nib - Includes Refillable Ink Converter, 3 Ink Cartridges [Black & Blue], Gift Box - Elegant Calligraphy

I've been using fountain pens as my everyday writing instrument in the office for something like eight years now. I don't know how many different pens I've tried and set aside as unsatisfactory. I maintain about five or six that I will rotate through, one per day. But this pen is the first one I've gotten in a very long time that made me reluctant to put it on the dresser and pick up the next in the stack. I've only been using this pen for a short while, so I can't yet speak to long term use.For the money; the weight, build quality, ink flow, and styling are all far better than they have a right to be. I couldn't tell you how they compare to truly high end pens, as the nicest pen I have is a Lamy 2000 (which I really like as well), but for $40, this blows away any other pen in my rotation (except for the Lamy).Bottom line, I highly recommend picking up one of these pens. I don't believe you'll find a better one in the same price range.

WOW! What a treat. This is my first fountain pen and I can’t believe I waited 60 years to get one. It’s a true pleasure writing with this pen. I got my wife one for her birthday; she has beautiful handwriting; she is going to love it!Five stars.

My new Ellington Rose Gold Fountain Pen is now my favorite! My search for the perfect pen is over!! This fountain pen writes so smoothly and the ink flow is perfect— with zero blotches, zero missing characters…It’s just effortless and beautiful. These Ellington fountain pens will also go to the top of my list for my family & friends who appreciate a thoughtful, classic gift.

OMG, it’s beautiful in appearance, my friends and financial adviser gasped when I brought ut out ( for the financial adviser, my “lucky pen” when signing new accounts. The flow across a page is smooth, as long as you use the right paper (low wax content, actually cheaper pads from walmart). Otherwise the ink takes too long to dry, not ideal for a leftie. I like this pen so much that I buy paper that works for it.

Just received my blue Ellington fountain pen. It is beautiful. However, I would have loved to order it in the Urban Hunter color, but wanted my pen to have that same lovely color on the cap instead of a black cap. It has been a long time since I have written with a fountain pen, as I used them all through Junior High, yes....I am that old. Would Ellington consider selling the cartridges in Peacock Blue? If so, I would consider buying a 24-count box of the Peacock Blue. I am practicing writing with a fountain pen again, and I love the way this pen performs. I have very small hands ( size 4 ring), and the fine and extra fine nibs work better for me, plus the pen is not too wide for my small hands. Thank you, Ellington.

This thing is absolutely amazing and is the best fountain pen I have ever used. It has a weighted feel to it so it makes writing easy and fluid. The ink cartridges are very easy to refill and change out for different colors. We got ours to send out thank you cards and after hours of writing, the ink level is still good and it does not cause fatigue. It has become our main pen to use whenever we need to write anything down or fill out paperwork. We will definitely be adding more to our collection!

"Outshine all other writing instruments with the unparalleled elegance and performance of an Ellington Pen, your new prized possession."That's a bold claim. Before I chucked all my Mountblancs in the trash, I decided to at least do a little side-by-side comparison. Boy howdy, am I glad I did.I have a lot of fountain pens and a lot of experience with fountain pens. The least expensive cost exactly one dollar. The most expensive ones more than $800 (don't tell my wife please). I have everything from the newest of the new to one that just turned 100 years old recently. Gold nibs, steel nibs, cursive italics, flexes, stubs, you name it.This Ellington pen, I was promised, was better than all of them. I intended to do a head to head comparison with one of my MB 146s. I wanted to test nib smoothness, line width, ink flow, balance, the works. I inked both pens with the same ink, Noodler's Black, a good quality ink that performs well in most pens on most papers. I was ready for the showdown.The Ellington pen didn't write. Not much anyway. I got a few black streaks on the paper if I pressed on the nib a little bit, but as for writing a word, or even a single letter - forget it.It did not outshine all other writing instruments. It did not outshine a single one. It is not functional as a pen. It is trash.If you want an inexpensive fountain pen, buy a Pilot Metropolitan, TWSBI Eco, Platinum Preppy, Parker IM, Majohn, Jinhao, or (if you're feeling lucky) a Lamy Sarafi, to name a few.Or maybe buy this Ellington pen as a gift for that special someone to let him know just how little you think of him.
