It's an elegant product at an affordable price! I had long seen and desired my own Ellington Fountain pen but always put off buying one. Well, Father's Day saw a daughter of mine give me a nice Amazon gift card and I immediately headed to the Ellington pens wanting to order a black medium pen. With Amazon, I placed the order late at night and by the next afternoon I had my new pen. I should add that I've been a fountain pen guy since my elementary school days when one could buy a Sheaffer fountain pen for 99¢ - this is way better! I love its ease of use and response to my way of writing.Comfort:Fits comfortably in my hand.Value for money:Executive quality for not so much money.Ink flow:The ink flows smoothly and evenly; a joy to use.Write quality:Its ease of writing is great even though my penmanship leaves a lot to be desired.

Absolutely the finest fountain pen I’ve ever owned!When I was in middle school, my family moved from California to a small village in England. To my utter shock, I was required to use a fountain pen at school. I don’t think I’d ever heard of a fountain pen in my life until then (1972), but I took to it like a duck to water. I begged my parents for the pens I saw in High Street, but—thinking it was a phase—they only allowed for a cheap plastic school pen. No matter, I was besotted by all things fountain pen-related and my love for them never wavered. If anything, the hunt for one that I could afford in the performance of one I certainly could not became my holy grail pursuit.After we moved back to America, I was dismayed to discover that I couldn’t even find ink, let alone a cartridge stateside. It would be quite a few years before I discovered a high-end stationery shop that carried them. It being a specialty store, the pens I loved to play with in-house were still far too dear for me, but I was allowed to write and draw with them to my heart’s content and so began learning about what I loved most—and what to avoid—about my obsession. This being the days of yore, such knowledge came from humans rather than YouTube so shop owners were always happy to pass on their niche expertise. Thus began my adventure through low-cost alternative pens—a mostly disappointing journey—attempting to find the elusive unicorn.When an ad for the Ellington Pens showed up in my feed, I was intrigued, but not enough to trust a brand new brand without the history to support its touting. That said, when it recently went on sale, I thought, “Why not? Someone needs to be first.”I am so so very happy I trusted my gut! It feels like pens costing hundreds more! This, my friends, is the unicorn we’ve all been hunting! The ink just glides from the nib, and the balance is so perfect that even my arthritic fingers can write and write for ages each and every day. The cap is snug and the materials feel beautifully cool and solid.The only downside I have found—and this is just my personal opinion—is the converter reservoir. It feels and looks somewhat cheaply mass-produced. Even so, it behaves itself perfectly so far in my use. The ink pulls up nicely—without mess—and feeds well with zero drag, dumping, or gapping. As it’s tucked inside the barrel, who cares if it looks like an afterthought.Folks, I highly, highly recommend this pen, especially if you’re someone who must—or more importantly, loves to—handwrite a lot each day. It’s just such a glorious time loop back to the past when pens were created for their joy as much as for their purpose.

Seriously the BEST fountain pen I own! I'm a self-proclaimed pen snob with an extensive fountain pen collection. This pen by far exceeds even my $800 name brand pen. The weight is perfect and the barrel diameter fits well with my style of writing. The cap fits snuggly over the writing tip as well at the barrel end when I'm using it. The writing tip is beautiful and writes with ease. The ink cartridge is a bit flimsy but it does the job. I LOVE this pen so much that I've purchased 2 more fir my collection and gifted many to family, friends and colleagues.

This pen is excellent. It comes nicely packaged and is very stylish. The weight and balance feels comfortable and luxurious. The included ink cartridge loaded effortlessly. After drawing a couple of circles the ink began the flow and even writing with my left hand produced smooth script. I highly recommend this pen as a gift for one’s self or another.

"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.
