5.0 out of 5 stars A great fountain pen which provides a nice writing experience

M.S. · 27 February 2025

Bought the Wordsworth & Black fountain pen with the medium nib in all black. I have used fountain pens for a very long time and this is one of the best that I have used.It comes with 24 ink cartridges, and thankfully they are the standard size of ink cartridge and not a proprietary one like some other brands demand. It also comes with a refill cartridge so you can use ink bottles if you prefer.The pen can hold two of the standard cartridges, like most fountain pens. The one that is currently being used and one in the back of the pen so that unless you know you are going to do a lot of writing you don't need to carry loose cartridges around.Compared to my last fountain pen this is a little heavier but I have gotten used to that extra wright very quickly. It is not overly heavy though. The weight is balanced nicely which allows for an easy writing experience. The ink supplied dries quite quickly and as I have used fountain pens for a while I know how to avoid smudging the ink while it does dry.The pen looks quite simplistic in the all black but I prefer that in a pen. While I say it does look simplistic it also looks professional as a good quality pen shouldn't need to try and impress with looks but by how it actually writes.There are a number of other colours and nib sizes available, but I preferred the look of the black one. I also went with the medium nib as that is the size I usually use.

My first experience of this make of fountain pen and what a beauty it is! Needed a few passes to get it to write but once it started flowing, it wrote like a dream, nice and juicy. Although I prefer & bought a M nib it is a bit finer than most M nibs but this is not a problem. Looks great, feels good in the hand plus comes with a generous supply of international standard ink cartridges AND a converter. Writes better than some of my f.p.s costing 4x as much. Lovely gift box too. This is a pen every collector should own. Kudos!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Broad Nib

This fountain pen is wow. It looks very very expensive, the writing is so smooth. Came with 24 cartridges. Presentation box is beautiful. I bought a much more expensive pen and it is scratchy. The broad nib is perfect for trying to improve your handwriting. Colour selection is lovely. The blue is so vibrant. I have to get more colours. So excited to use it. Hope it lasts a long time. Beutiful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for writing, but not as pretty as expected

I don't usually buy fountain pens but thought I'd give this a go as they are so pretty.It is really lovely to write with, which is obviously the most important in a pen. The ink flow is steady even at quite a fast writing speed and the ink dries fast. It's also permanent and stains fingers easily if you're silly and wipe it off (don't worry, you will probably not be as silly as me!). It seems well made and durable with a well fitting cap that snaps on and stays on. The size is great to hold and it fits well in the hand.On the flip side, the material of the barrel does look and feel cheaper than in the photos. I don't think it's an issue long term as the overall structure is sturdy, but a bit disappointing. The biggest disappointment for me was that the nib that shows as a beautifully engraved silver and gold in the photo is actually a solid gold colour with a fairly simple WB engraved. No impact on the usability, but as the look was what made me choose this particular pen over others, this makes it a 4 instead of 5 for me.

A stunning, beautifully made Fountain Pen made by Wordsworth. I purchased the Gold & Silver Colour Option with a Medium Nib. Included was a Ink Converter, plus 6 free Ink Cartridges (boxed). The cartridges are very simple to change and use, hassle free and more importantly, mess free! The Medium Nib writes very smoothly, with no drag and no smudging although I do recommend using the correct paper for Fountain pen use due to prevent the ink bleeding. The weight and cap of this pen are beautifully balanced. The box this comes in is also a luxurious, luxury, leather style woth a velvet like interior finish, stamped Wordsworth on lid of the box too & a silk ribbon tab to hold the pen in place whilst inside the box. Considering the cost, this is an excellent high quality pen. I can definitely recommend and is also a perfect gift for any writer :)

This is my second Wordsworth and Black fountain pen. I love that the pen can be customised by choosing the nib and that there is a wide range of colours amd trims to choose from. I find the pen very comfortable to hold, it's not too heavy. I chose the medium nib option and was happy to see that instead of their usual gold or silver nib the rainbow pen has a rainbow nib as well. Inside was a pack of 24 ink cartridges, 12 black and 12 blue. They also supply a refillable cartridge that you can fill yourself using bottled ink. I find my writing looks so much neater when using a fountain pen.

Im left handed so rarely do I get a fountain pen that I can write perfectly with as soon as I put ink in it. So I was pleasantly surprised when I filled this pen with my favourite ink and I was able to write smoothly and fluidly without effort.The colour is really pretty, the pen nice to hold and smooth to write not too heavy and the nib isn’t at all scratchy.

Beau stylo qualitatif

Agréablement surpris par la qualité de ce stylo lorsqu'il est arrivé. Je le destine comme cadeau pour ma mère et je voulais l'essayer avant de lui donner pour être sûr qu'il lui conviendra.Le stylo visuellement est de belle facture, d'un beau noir brillant tréz chic- il est trés proche d'un modèle déjà haut de gamme de chez Waterman qavec lequel j'avais écrit pendant toutes mes études.L'excellente surprise c'est la qualité de l'écriture. Choisi en pointe extra-fine car ma mère a une petite écriture, il excelle. Il glisse sans peine sur le papier et procure un grand confort à l'utilisation. En plus, il était livré avec 24 cartouches noires. Impeccable!

Schön anzusehen - Ein tolles Geschenk
