5.0 out of 5 stars Works really well.

C.S. · 15 January 2025

Flows well, and writes like a dream. From a signature to a copper plate script, it writes beautifully.It's a medium nib, and there are plenty of ink cartridges.It's best to keep it upright in all instances if possible to alleviate any undue leaking.Great pen for the price. Reliable and comfortable to write with.Superb purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully made and elegant fountain pen

S.&. · 20 July 2020

Oh my, where do I start with this product. It is very well-made. The barrel is solid and the gold detailing is perfectly fitted; looks elegant against the black. The nib writes with ease and the ink flows perfectly. It is impossible for this pen to leak out of the barrel due to the screw on lid. My pen has not leaked, even though I’ve carted all over the house and into the garden, numerous times a day. The components are easily removed for cleaning. The pen has some weight, but sits very comfortably, well balanced in my hand. I use my pen daily for both writing and sketching, and I use different types of paper. The pen has worked perfectly on all types of paper through to the unevenness of watercolour paper without any problems. The flow is consistent and I’ve not had any issues with blockages. It is a joy to draw and write with. The case it comes in, he is very sturdy. The extra bits and pieces are an added bonus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Writer

A. · 19 April 2024

This is a lovely solid fountain pen. I had already bought 2 W&B pens in the Bamboo series and was very impressed. I bought the EF nib version each time and the nibs performed beautifully - very smooth writers. That encouraged me to try this pen and it is beautifully finished. I read many of the reviews all of which were of the M nib versions. Some reported scratchy performance while others reported smooth. I ordered the EF nib and I'm not disappointed. The pen is a very smooth writer lays down a lovely fine line. It has a nice weight and balance for my taste.A common criticism of the pen in many reviews relates to the screw-on cap, citing an enormous number of turns to screw the cap on/off. It takes 3 full 360 degree turns to remove the cap and while this is more than any of my other pens I think the criticisms are greatly exaggerated. The screw on/off mechanism is metal and the threads are on the large side which does give some free play, (and makes a friction sound), when the cap is being removed or replaced. That may disappear after more use. I would have preferred a plastic screw with smaller threads for a more silent removal with less free play, - but that's a small issue. I docked the pen a star for that.All in all I think this is a very good pen for a comparatively reasonable price. I've not mentioned the presentation box it comes in as I have no interest in one and would prefer if the box were an option. I'd prefer no gift box and a cheaper price when I'm buying for myself. The bottom line is a pen is for writing and this pen with the extra fine nib is a very good writer indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful pen, ink flows as you write. Great purchase.

I purchased this pen for my son as he expressed an interest in changing from throwaway plastic pens to a cartridge style fountain pen. I have long written important documents (and slowly integrating into everyday usage) with a fountain pen. Nothing beats the beauty of a document written with a fountain pen.It arrived beautifully presented with an easy to follow little guide and ink cartridges. It is simple to set up and has a decent weight to it. It sits well in the hand and is a pen you can use continually without effort or worry.For such a reasonably priced I wasn't expecting the results to be as good.My son is extremely pleased with this pen and uses it throughout the day as his main pen.Bottom line - a great pen for everyday use and for those documents that require a touch of tradition. Comes beautifully presented and would make a lovely gift - birthday, graduation perhaps.I would have no qualms about purchasing this pen again.

Very good quality and a lovely writing instrument, and at a sensible price.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a beautiful fountain pen

D.A.R. · 6 May 2020

The pen comes in a lovely leatherette box holding the pen itself, 6 ink cartridges and various instructions. Inside the pen is the ink reservoir for those of you that prefer to use bottled ink. This includes me - but I'll use the ink cartridges first as they've been supplied!The pen has a lovely weighted feel to it, and a screw cap which will prevent those disastrous, top off, ink all over the pocket moments. The silver checkered effect on matt black gives a really expensive look. I'm not sure if the lid thread will mark the barrel over time - but that's a wait and see.The weight when writing is lovely and balanced. The ink flows smoothly and I can write with no smudges (I'm a right hander) Personally I had no problems getting the pen setup. Yes it took a couple of minutes for the ink to reach the nib after initial loading but this has been the same for every fountain pen I've ever had!You can't go wrong for the price of this pen. Really looking forward to using it regularly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quality and craftsmanship overstated

H.P. · 9 November 2022

The pen arrived quickly,it was well presented and looked good on firs glance. I would have liked to use it for a bit longer before leaving a review, however one of the first problems i encountered was when the pen was closed the lid was not secure,there was a lot of swivel. On the second day the pen leaked all of the ink that was in it. I would not be recommending this brand of pen to anyone. I think that these pens are made cheaply in china and then sold at overinflated prices. It is a heavy pen and the nib does write smoothly but these features were outweighed by the poor build quality. I had good hopes for this fountain pen,but it failed miserably.

2.0 out of 5 stars Writes okay but feels cheap

The media could not be loaded. Looks nice, writes ok but the cap doesn't sit securely on the top when writing. Despite the metal appearance, most of it is actually plastic. Certainly not worth the price I paid.

Very Good Pen

Very Good Pen with high quality

Premium quality pen

This fountain pen manufactured by Wordsworth & Black, a UK-based company, has a comfortable grip and writes smoothly. The pen is a bit large but causes no problem while writing. Uses both cartridge and converter. The product is well worth the price.

時代を超えたスチールペン！

佐. · 25 May 2025

何本か金ペンを持っていましたが、今回のこの万年筆には、驚きました!スチールあなどるなかれ!金ペンに引けをとらぬ書き心地、否、金ペンをかすかに越える書き心地。もう、使いだしてすぐ、これは大切にしようと思いました。スチールのペン先は、今の時代に合っているかもしれない、否、時代の先にいっているのかもしれない！金ペンはおじさん臭く感じる、いつまでも若くいたかったらスチールのペン先の万年筆を持つべきだ。そう、万年筆マニア初心者の私は、心の隅で、この万年筆を前にした時、感じているのであります。
