5.0 out of 5 stars A touch of Art Deco / Art Nouveau...

T. · 25 September 2023

Beautyful design , very well made, perfect to the last detail. Excellent Nib, writes well. The style of this fountain pen has distinct touch of Art Deco and Art Nouveau. The Bamboo couloured as Maple is quite beautiful und manufactured to a high standard. This and a modern finish makes this pen stand out. Is very light, you won't get tired. This Pen is a beautiful Gift for anybody or yourself! Price is more than fair for such a piece! Highly recommended! Now, I will order the BALLPOINT-Version of this pen...

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks beautiful

I lost my fountain pen whilst moving - and I miss it- odd maybe yes-but there’s nothing quite like writing with a fountain pen-I’ve been using them since a young age when it was identified Tay my handwriting became more legible with it.Sorry for the essay there!So-Pros: Looks beautiful! Lovely wooden box that comes with the pen.- Good value for money- nice nib - smooth to write with - comes with own adapter to use bottled ink.Cons: - Not balanced-very heavy at the top of the lid, so if you’ve put the lid onto the top- when you write it sort of falls against your hand.- Didn’t come with an ink cartridge or ink bottle.- the box doesn’t have an obvious opening as oppose to the hinges at the back.- you have to fiddle around to get it to fit -it’s not a custom fit.-There’s no fastener at the box.

I don’t very often write reviews but after using this pen I felt I had to, not only because of the quality of the pen itself but because of the fantastic customer service at Wordsworth & Black.Firstly, the pen is just really nice to look at (see picture). The box is nice although I do wish it “snapped” shut with some form of magnet or at least some sort of clasp. Saying that, as a box that would sit on a desk it is perfect.Secondly, the pen writes like a dream. It has a really nice weight to it and I haven’t noticed any bleed on the back of the paper I am writing on which is mostly 80gsm. The ink flow is constant, which means I’m not going over what I’ve written again. The ink does struggle to write over laser printed paper, eg, I have lists that I have to tick off, if the box is printed tell, the ink doesn’t stick as well, but no problem - I have a back up pen for such menial tasks!Unfortunately, I did have to contact customer services as the lid had stopped clicking on securely. I had asked for a new lid but they sent me a complete new pen with no requirement to send back the defective one (which is good because I have grown quite attached to the pen in such a short space of time), so now I have spare parts!Even with the lid issue I can’t give any less than 5 stars.

A loverly pen with beautiful wood. I have a fine nib, which I really like and this suites my handwriting. Nice flow of ink, you may prefer a medium nib, but the quality of the pen, is what actually counts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic everyday pen.

I seldom write reviews on the products bought from Bolo, but I simply could not resist! I have bought numerous entry level fountain pens from Bolo; many which have ended up leading to disappointment. Whilst I understand that the price range is on the low side, many of the pens that I have bought previously in this price range do not exude the craftsmanship, care and attention which both the product and packaging have for this pen. I have consistently used replaceable pilot pens for daily use, but I am very glad that I have now found a re-usable fountain pen, that I can use for my daily scrawl. Robust, neat, tidy and effortless flow spring to mind when I review this product. I would love to write a review to confirm the durability of the pen, but this will have to come, once I have used the pen for daily use.

I’ve been wanting to get a fountain pen for a while but haven’t used one in ages so didn’t want to go all out in case I didn’t like it so went for this as it’s on the pretty cheap end of the scale. It’s extremely good quality for the price! Looks really good and writes very well. Comfortable in the hand and is very lightweight. Comes with a nice case for storage too. I haven’t used the ink refill converter because it came with some ink cartridges but the cartridges fit really well and haven’t leaked or anything. Would definitely recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars Ah, the pleasures of a fountain pen

I hadn't used a fountain pen for many years, mostly because the ones I had (a premium brand) kept drying up on me and it wasn't easy to get replacement cartridges.I thought I'd give a decent pen another try, and these Wordsworth & Black pens seemed to provide a quality product - though I thought the price was perhaps a bit low for that to be so.The pen arrived quickly, and really, I haven't looked back. I won't use any other pen now. I have bought some additional cartridges as I'm unsure how long they will last, given my current rate of use.So, pen looks great, just a slight fiddle getting the first cartridge in and running - due to temerity on my part... well, I didn't want to wreck it.Only teeny niggle is that the paperwork with it seems to imply the medium nib can be changed for a fine one, and that isn't so. A separate pen is needed with the fine nib onboard. That niggled until I remembered the cost of the pen, then it became a niggle no more.Recommended for quality writing. Now I'm ordering that second pen, with a fine nib, from Wordsworth & Black.

Beautiful Product

The pen arrived in perfect condition and on the specified date. It came with ink cartridges but is easy to fill from an inkwell (my preferred option). It is comfortable to hold and a pleasure to use. I would definitely recommend this pen to anyone who appreciates fine writing equipment.

Exzellenter Füllhalter zu einem günstigen Preis

J.R. · 27 March 2020

Schon die wertige Verpackung, das Rosenholz-Etui zu öffnen war ein besonderer Genuss für Augen und Haptik. Dies setzte sich fort beim Füllfederhalter, der komplett ausgestattet ankam, also auch mit Konverter. Leicht zu befüllen und mit einem sehr feinen Gleiten über das Papier, bereitet es mir sehr viel Freude, ihn mit einer meiner Lieblingstinten zu benutzen. Absolut empfehlenswert, auch als Geschenk *****

No se seca, muy bien acabada y funciona mucho mejor que otras alemanas que he adquirido con precios similares. Es la tercera que compro de esta marca. Absolutamente recomendable.

Wordsworth & Black's Fountain Pen Set, Luxury Bamboo Wood

t. · 29 January 2024

I purchased two of these fountain pens and I must say, I really like them for writing or priniting, the ink flows very smoothly and they are comfortable to hold and have some weight to them. I remember fountain pens from many days gone by and I must say they did a nice job of manufacturing these. The only draw back I have is that the ink does and/or may bleach through to the next page, so be careful and have something underneath the page you are writing on. I was printing on a calendar on my desk and I put a thin piece of cardboard under the page I was writing on and no problems. Very nice stylish pen. Did I mention that I bought two of them because I liked the first one so much ... I guess I did!
