Ellington Pens Luxury Fountain Pen Set- Smooth Medium Nib- Includes 3 Ink Cartridges, Refillable Ink Converter, Gift Box -Fountain Pens For Writing, Calligraphy, Journaling, Sketching (Noble Heritage)

Excellent pen, especially for the price! I have been a fountain pen fan for 40 plus years and I ordered this one to try out. I want to get a couple of pens for Christmas gifts for coworkers. I wanted a pen that looked good, felt good, and (of course) wrote nicely without skipping or scratching. I’ve always used a converter in the past but I wanted something that could use cartridges or a converter, and I didn’t want proprietary (expensive) cartridges. Converters could be more trouble and potentially messier than my potential recipients might be ready for, so cartridges needed to be an option. I ordered the Ellington pen and I was immediately impressed with the attractive packaging, a factor to consider in a gift. I opened it up and it’s a very nice looking pen, has a nice fit and finish. It comes with a converter and three cartridges. I installed a black ink cartridge and grabbed a piece of paper to try it out. Ink flowed as soon as the nib touched the paper. The nib glides across the paper, no scratching or skipping. It’s a beautiful pen, well made and well balanced. I will be ordering two more for Christmas gifts but this one I am keeping for myself.

I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a fountain pen. I've been wanting one for years. I don't know what took me so long. I had seen an ad for Ellington Pens and I figured I would check it out. Thanks to Black Friday deals and a coupon, I was able to get the Stealth Fine Point Pen at a really good price. The pen arrived in a nice little box with a ribbon around it to keep it in place during shipping so it wouldn't get damaged. It also came with a small box containing 3 ink cartridges (2 black, 1 blue). There was also a business card that had a QR code where it would take you to the Ellington Pens website. From there you can get some tips and tricks on using the pen and contacting support when/if needed. I had to contact support because my simple brain couldn't figure out the ink cartridge. It comes with a refillable ink converter in the pen right away, which I'm assuming that it's for getting ink out of bottles. That will be something to try in the future. I like that it was shipped that way, without any ink in the actual pen. It prevented any possible ink from leaking or exploding, which could have damaged the pen. Once I figured out that the ink converter needs to be removed and an actual ink cartridge needs to be inserted (it just snaps in), I was ready to test it out and get the ink flowing. This pen is absolutely AMAZING! It writes very smooth and the ink flow is constant. It fits well in my hand when writing. However, it soes seem to write a little thicker than I'd like. I have a Fine Point and to me it writes like a Medium Point. It doesn't leave blotches or have inconsistent thickness/thinness in writing. If the pen is uncovered while not being used for a chunk of time, it will cause the ink to dry a little bit. All that needs to be done to rectify that issue is just write/draw some circles and the ink will flow again like it should. Although I normally have messy handwriting, the pen allows me to write more clearly. I can also write messy if I want to as well. I see a lot of writing happening in my future. The only cons I have about this pen is that it's heavy compared to other pens out there. Of course I'm sure most, if not all, fountain pens are heavy. I also wished/hoped they'd have more ink colors than just blue or black. I know there's other companies who have other colors available, but I'm hesitant on exploring those options. **Edited to add: I discovered that Ellington Pens does have additional ink colors besides blue and black. I'll definitely be ordering those in the future!** Overall, this is a wonderful pen that writes beautifully! I just got this pen a couple days ago and I've already ordered another one (or two). Having just one fountain pen isn't enough. I highly recommend jumping on the Fountain Pen bandwagon with one of these Ellington Pens. The price is great, the luxury of the product is amazing, and it'll make you want to write more!

A pleasing and handsome pen. Enters my rotation of seven fountain pens, including another Ellington (thought to be lost; showed up under a couch where a cat had put it). From the first fill the thing writes smoothly, which is not always the case. I love the stealth look of the black nib, and the very firm click when I attach the cap.

I ordered an Ellington pen with the fine tip. This pen writes beautifully and perfectly weighted. It has an elegant look but not over the top as other pens can be. I like that the pen uses either pre-filled ink cartridges and includes a cartridge that allows you to refill ink from an ink bottle. This pen is reasonably priced and very comfortable to use. I received mine within two days of ordering.

This is my second Ellington fountain pen, my first one mysteriously disappeared after someone “borrowed” it (a testament to how nice it is). I genuinely love the way it writes. The medium nib delivers smooth, consistent ink flow and glides effortlessly across the page. It really does feel like a luxury pen at a great price point. A quick note: if you write with a light hand, you might notice the top strokes of your letters aren’t as full or bold as the downward ones. It’s not a flaw, just something to be aware of with this nib. If you have a heavier hand, though, it writes beautifully. The set includes both cartridges and a refillable converter, which is a great bonus. I only wish the instructions were printed as having to scan a QR code to figure out the ink setup was a minor annoyance. Still, an excellent pen that I’d happily recommend, and clearly, I already bought it twice!

(BLACK model) A truly awesome fountain pen. Great weight. Nice balance. Posts well (a bit heavy on the end but manageable). The ink flows with great confidence and boldness on the page. I find the barrel a bit short for where my forefinger and thumb want to ride it. They prefer to be above the cap line but not enough barrel to sit properly in the thumb saddle/webbing. Posting extends the length but, as mentioned earlier, there's a bit of weight to it. Well engineered and a great writing instrument well worth double the price. Happy Happy :) 3 month follow-up: still my favorite writing instrument of the 20+ pens that I have. I just put in a new ink cartridge and it was an effortless transition without having to prime the pen in some way to regain full flow.

Beautiful design, writing is a pleasure and very well balanced. Bought much more expensive fountain pens that are not close to the experience of this one.

Feels nice in the hand and has a luxurious, premium appeal. The nib took some time to wear in and feel smooth but after a week of use it's much improved. The medium nib has a broader pen stroke than I expected. Lines are quivalent width to 0.7mm ballpoint gel ink pens I own despite this one being advertised as 0.5mm. In hindsight I would have picked the fine nib over medium. Parts and accessories are very expensive to ship to Australia, a new nib is almost the same price as a whole new pen.

J'aime beaucoup ce stylo, l'écrite est fluide même après plusieurs jours sans m'en servir, il ne "gratte" pas le papier. La couleur est jolie.

great pen for the price, yeah you can get cheaper but you get what you pay for. comes with everything you need to get started though for peace of mind is day buy a bottle of ink
